  • 069: Dee Strom - Smarter Ways to Market in Real Estate
    Dec 22 2025

    In this episode, Jeff Hamm sits down with Dee Strom, a high-producing Tampa Bay real estate agent whose career was shaped by grit, hospitality, and a deep commitment to service. What starts as a conversation about social media marketing quickly becomes a thoughtful look at what actually sustains a long-term real estate career.

    Dee shares how she found her way into real estate almost by accident, how her hospitality background shaped her client-first mindset, and why consistency—not trends—is the real differentiator in marketing. She opens up about building a recognizable brand through layered marketing, blending old-school tactics like print, signage, and handwritten notes with modern social media strategy.

    The conversation also explores why so many agents struggle early, the myth of “flexible schedules,” and what newer agents often misunderstand about success. Dee offers candid advice on boundaries, burnout, mentorship, and why improving the industry one transaction at a time matters more than chasing quick wins.

    This episode is an honest, practical reminder that sustainable success is built through service, clarity, and showing up—consistently.

  • 068: The Loyd Brothers on Tampa Bay Real Estate
    Dec 15 2025

    Jeff heads back to Tampa Bay for a conversation with Connor and Tyler Loyd of Florida Executive Realty—second-generation agents who grew up in the business after their father founded the brokerage in 1991. They share why they chose real estate (impact, flexibility, and building something that’s truly theirs), plus how their “client first, commission second” mindset shapes the way they serve people in a high-trust, relationship-driven industry.

    The guys also break down what they’re seeing on the ground in Tampa: a true “dual market,” with condos—especially in golf/HOA-heavy communities—feeling the pressure from Florida’s post-Surfside condo regulations and rising maintenance realities, while renovated family homes in hot pockets like Carrollwood and South Tampa still move fast (sometimes with multiple offers). They dig into what actually drives growth for agents (networking vs. marketing, consistency, and authenticity), including a smart, practical follow-up play—Tyler’s annual Thanksgiving pie drop-off—and creative partnership ideas like collaborating with large local employers (like USF) to support relocation and recruiting.

  • 067: Dan Plowman - Transforming Realtors into Real Estate Legends
    Dec 10 2025

    In this episode of the Epic Agents Podcast, Jeff Hamm sits down with legendary Canadian real estate coach and team leader Dan Plowman to unpack what it really takes to transform from “just another agent” into a true real estate professional.

    Dan shares his journey from building and selling an HVAC business in his early 20s to launching a real estate career in the brutal 1990 downturn—when interest rates hit 16–18% and half the agents in his market left the business. He explains how starting in a declining market forced him to build solid habits, track every activity, and focus relentlessly on dollar-productive work long before “systems” and “teams” were industry buzzwords.

    Jeff and Dan dive into why most agents struggle in their first 2–5 years, how to survive shifting markets, and why the agents who win are ruthlessly honest about their daily patterns. Dan breaks down his time-tracking exercise, the power of disrupting unproductive habits, and why real success is a natural byproduct of doing the right things every single day.

    They also talk about the role of digital marketing vs. personal outreach, why real conversations still beat algorithms, and how Dan’s Point One program gives solo agents access to top-tier coaching through 52 structured training calls and ongoing support.

    Dan closes with practical book recommendations—from Atomic Habits to Earl Nightingale and Jim Rohn—and a reminder not to get overwhelmed: start small, implement a few key changes, and your business (and life) can change quickly.
