In this no-frills, straight-talk panel, Dan Lesniak sits down with James Buckley, Nick Bush, and Karl Svendsen to break down what’s working right now for agents—and what most agents know they should do but still avoid.

You’ll hear practical tactics for:

• Building a repeatable daily rhythm for lead gen (without being chained to your desk)
• Getting your next 3 listings with proven outreach and positioning strategies
• Using net sheets + CMAs to convert homeowners into seller conversations
• Differentiating your listing presentation with cross-collateralized bridge loans
• Thinking like a pro in a more balanced market (pricing, prep, negotiation)

Then the panel shifts into market news and what it means for agents in 2026:

• Contract cancellation rates and why deals fall apart
• More homes selling below list and how to set expectations
• Why wealthy investors and family offices keep leaning into real estate
• The inflation/debt argument and the long-term “why” behind real estate as a hedge
  
  

Key Takeaways

• Self-management + daily inventory beats motivation.
• Phone calls still win—and discomfort is the toll.
• Stop doing “busy work” (like showings) if it doesn’t move the needle—outsource ruthlessly.
• Give sellers clarity with real numbers (net proceeds) and create movement.
• In 2026, listings require real skill again: pricing, prep, negotiation, positioning.
