Should Real Estate Agents Own Property? - EP 120
Monday Jan 10, 2022
Monday Jan 10, 2022
On this episode of the Real Estate Fight Club Podcast, Jenn and Monica are going to duke it out over this question, should agents be required to own real property? Should they be required to own a home or a condo, or land? Tune in to hear all of the thoughts!
Episode Highlights:
- Monica says that in some parts of the country, owning property is more complicated than in other regions. If you are a real estate agent in New York City, you are likely renting something.
- Look at it like an analogy; if you are a vegetarian, does that mean you shouldn’t be able to own a subway franchise because you are not eating the meat that you serve?
- Jenn inquires, if we are doing investment property and hiring somebody to represent us, does it make sense that we would want to hire an agent that knows investment property because they have some?
- If you are an agent doing a lot of deals, it is easy to forget that a purchase is a highly emotional process. People move because of emotional things, says Jenn.
- Monica says that it is an exciting thing for real estate agents to think about that if you own property, how does that help you be a better agent? If you don’t own property, why is that? Do you not understand or trust the process of investing in property?
- Andrew, the tiebreaker for this episode, say if you have five-plus years in real estate and are successful, you should be a home owner unless you are maybe in New York or LA or something like that where you can’t buy a house for under $5 million.
- Andrew and Jenn discuss different circumstances in which real estate agents may rent or own.
3 Key Points:
- Monica says that you don’t need to own property to understand the process of owning property.
- People think there is only one way to own property, and that is either to be a landlord or flip houses, but that is not true. There are a lot of ways to invest in real estate, says Jenn.
- Tiebreaker, Andrew Hersey, joins the conversation to answer whether real estate agents should be required to own property as part of their licensing.

Should You Report Other Agents To The State Division Of Real Estate?- EP 119
Monday Jan 03, 2022
Monday Jan 03, 2022
On this episode of the Real Estate Fight Club podcast, Jenn and Monica are going to discuss whether or not you should report other agents to the state level Division of Real Estate. Jenn and Monica also talk about the new awards that REFC has introduced for mega fans!
Episode Highlights:
- Jenn says that people will either be ethical or not and even if they get in trouble a little bit for doing something wrong, they will likely just figure out how not to get caught next time. She discusses how the system is broken.
- Monica asks, are you of the mindset like when you are flying in the airport, do you appreciate the concept of “see something, say something” for everybody’s safety?
- Where is the line of what is petty and personal versus what actually impacts the well-being of the industry?
- Monica talks about how she has seen shady things but where is the line of unethical and not illegal?
- Can you be helpful and go straight to the agent?
- Jen shares a time when she was reported.
- Do you think it matters what the intention of the tattler is?
- Different entities govern what we do as realtors, and there is a norm that provides us with a code of ethics. Also, every real estate agent is not a realtor, says Anne.
- Different states have different rules and regulations, so, for instance, in some states, you don’t have to disclose if you have a relationship with the seller, says Anne Uchtman, the tiebreaker for this episode.
- Anne says ignorance is not bliss. It can cost you a lot of money, which could cost you your career. So we need to raise the bar, and we can only do that if we hold each other accountable.
- Jenn asks, “Do you think it is best for all of us to go straight to the governing body to file a complaint against someone who did something wrong?”
- People make mistakes, and ignorance is not bliss, but if you are intently trying to deceive people, that is not ok. These things especially happen on social media groups, suggests Anne.
3 Key Points:
- No one wants to be tattlers, but how do we all take responsibility for leveling up this industry to create accountability?
- The system of upholding ethics in the industry has its challenges.
- Tiebreaker, Anne Uchtman from Star One realtors joins the conversation. She serves on the Board of Directors for the Cincinnati Area Board of Realtors and as president of the Cincinnati Network of Women’s Council of Realtors.

On this episode of the Real Estate Fight Club podcast, Jenn and Monica are going to recap the last year and look at where they think they were wrong. They discuss the episodes or tiebreaker that allowed them to see things a little differently. Then, they are also going to look ahead a little bit into 2022 and talk about what is in store. Don’t miss out!
Episode Highlights:
- As a real estate agent and as a business owner, we grow, and we change as well as the market grows and changes, says Jenn.
- In episode 3, Jenn doesn't think one should provide honest feedback to the sellers until they have agreed that they are hiring you.
- Many agents want to hang their hat on the price and the feedback to get the listing. Monica agrees with Jenn.
- In one of their episodes, they talked about agents selling their own home and Monica recalls Jenn being very adamant that it was a very bad idea.
- Monica agrees that the responsible thing to do is to have somebody who can be an advocate for you outside of the emotions of your own home.
- In episode 34, they talked about how much the agent should know about a listing. They discuss the differences in opinions.
- In episode 22, they talked about hiring a virtual assistant. Jenn was absolutely against it. What changed and why?
- In episode 26, Monica and Jenn talked about giving feedback to the listing agent.
- If you have listing agents and you have buyers agents, the listing agents are the salespeople. As salespeople, it is your job to control the transaction. If you want what you want, you have to go out and ask for it and get it. It's your job, suggests Jenn.
- Is there any podcast that swayed your thinking about the topic? You were thinking one thing when you read what the topic was, but then after the conversation, you changed your mind? Share it with us at the Real Estate Fight Club Podcast Facebook page!
- Monica asks Jenn to name one challenge or one thing for agents that you think will be really important for them to succeed in 2022.
3 Key Points:
- Monica says that they did an episode about what happens when your friend wants to sell their house by owner. Monica took a softer approach like Jenn.
- Many agents don't have the feedback because they never had the initial conversation with the buyer. This is an inherent problem in our business, says Jenn.
- In 2022, we have much exciting stuff coming up. We will be introducing a new kind of episode in 2022, and it is going to be called the heavyweight episode, says Monica.

Should You Partner With Another Agent To Grow Your Business?- EP 117
Monday Dec 20, 2021
Monday Dec 20, 2021
On this episode of the Real Estate Fight Club podcast, Jenn and Monica will duke it out over “Should you partner with another agent to grow your business”? Do you look for just a partnership, start a team, or leverage with another agent to grow your business?
Episode Highlights:
- When people get into business, there is a misunderstanding and confusion about how hard and lonely it is.
- When somebody who is not doing well sees somebody else doing a little better, they immediately want to grab onto their coattails, says Monica.
- Jenn says that you have to know who you are as a business owner and as a real estate agent before you can bring somebody else in.
- What is the difference between running parallel with people and entangling with them?
- What problem do you have in your business that you are trying to solve? Talk to somebody about that before you go partnering with somebody. It is detrimental to your future, says Monica.
- Jenn explains her experience with partnership.
- If you enter into a partnership, there are a lot of tedious terms that need to be defined.
- You can solve personal problems outside of a partnership; There are showing assistants and solutions. The solution is happening all around you, and it’s not in a team, says Monica.
- Monica explains how she journeyed carrying her real estate business while also starting her coaching business.
- If you feel the urge to join with someone else , you need to examine why and what that is. Is it just loneliness?
- Tiebreaker, Kim Laforet, joins the conversation. She is the team leader at Coldwell Banker at Hubbell Briarwood. She has been in real estate for almost 40 years.
3 Key Points:
- Monica suggests you don’t need the leverage to have more success. However, it is good to have a difference between the two. We can run parallel with people, but we do not have to entangle our webs with other people.
- If you are going to do a business partnership, have an end date, have a re-evaluation date because if you feel like you want to break up with them, it is already in the works to break up, says Jenn.
- If people are a leader type or somebody who wants to develop a team would be an excellent time to bring on an admin person. And if that person can do the stuff you don’t like, it can free up your time, and now you can make more money, says Kim.

Should You Friend Other Agents On Social Media- EP 116
Monday Dec 13, 2021
Monday Dec 13, 2021
On this episode of the Real Estate Fight Club Podcast, Jenn and Monica will duke it out over “Should you friend real estate agents on social media?” Relationships are a very important aspect of a successful career in real estate and agents should have to work together, helping each other; How does that translate to social media?
Episode Highlights:
- Monica says as an agent, you watch other agents brand themselves. You watch how they show up, you can learn from them in a good way, and you can know what not to do.
- There are a lot of markets where real estate agents are more combative than collaborative, and if that is like a market that you are in, you could also friend people outside of your market, suggests Jenn.
- If you begin to friend a lot of agents on Facebook and you are interacting with them, how does that affect the algorithms?
- Most people do not remember the name of their real estate agent because real estate agents think that all they have to do is mention to change your clocks. “If your clients need you to remind them to change their clocks, you need a new set of clients", says Jenn.
- Monica says to Jenn that they both are aligned on this idea- that as an agent, your ability to connect and have good relationships in the industry benefits you personally from a growth standpoint and will benefit the deals because the more you know somebody, the easier it is to work with them.
- Jenn suggests that you need to watch your social media activity; How often are you on it? What effects is it having on you?
- Most people see the result, but they don’t understand what you did to get there exactly. This is because they did not receive that work.
- Tiebreaker Ismael Gonzales, a broker in Mexico, joins the conversation and shares how business in Mexico is different from the United States.
- Ismael says that they network more and work in their sphere of influence a lot. Agent-to-agent referral is a great way to do business for them in Mexico.
- Find whatever someone is doing, what you want to do at the highest level, and then improve; It’s been part of the business, says Ismael.
3 Key Points:
- The more business you do, the nicer you should be. Be a human being first and a realtor second.
- According to Jenn, celebrating other people’s success is good if you see something that you strive to be.
- “Friending other Real Estate agents on social media is a part of our job”, says Ismael.
