4 BRUTAL Money Mistakes Agents Make... and What to Do Instead

Episode 401

Realtors basically light money on fire every single month… and then pretend it’s “investing.” 🤦‍♂️

In this podcast, I’m breaking down the biggest money mistakes Realtors make and showing you what to spend on instead if you actually want ROI.

If you’re a Realtor wondering why you never seem to get ahead, it’s probably not your income—it’s where your money is going.

Let’s be real - spending money is not the same thing as investing money. In this episode, I’m calling out the dumbest things agents waste cash on, and showing you what to do instead if you actually want ROI.

I’ve been guilty of it myself. Early in my career, I blew thousands on Trulia leads, fancy mailers, and tools I never logged into. You name it, I wasted money on it. The problem isn’t just the money - it’s the missed opportunity to put those dollars to work in smarter ways that actually grow your business.

Here’s what I cover inside this episode:

Why buying leads from Zillow/Realtor.com is a terrible move for most agents
The difference between ego marketing (billboards, bus benches, glossy magazines) vs. what actually gets you clients
The truth about those expensive IDX websites nobody visits
The death by $49/month subscriptions (and how to stop bleeding cash)
How to know if your spend is actually an investment or just buying comfort

This isn’t just about saving money - it’s about redirecting it toward the things that actually move the needle: content, systems, and people.

So if you’ve ever wondered why you’re not getting ahead financially in real estate… this episode is your wake-up call.
