Episode Details

Working with sellers is more than just getting the listing… it's everything that happens after.

Because once you've said "congrats, you got the listing!" the real work begins. And if you don't have a clear process from listing to closing, things can get messy fast.

In this episode, we're walking you step-by-step through exactly what happens after you take a listing. From photos and going live, to managing showings, handling offers, and getting all the way to the closing table… we're covering it all.

We're also sharing the systems, emails, and checklists that keep everything running smoothly (and keep you from getting 9pm panic texts 😅).

Plus, we're diving into real stories about what can go wrong when sellers go off-market, why you should guide your clients with confidence, and how to protect yourself during repairs and final walkthroughs.

If you've ever felt unsure about your listing process or like you're reinventing the wheel every time… this is your step-by-step guide.
