In this episode of Properties to Profits, I dive into something deeper than real estate—something that affects every single one of us: the two voices we all carry inside. One lifts us up, fuels our confidence, and drives our growth. The other holds us back, plants doubt, and keeps us playing small. I break down how to recognize which voice is running your life—and how to flip the script.

This is your Monday mindset reset. I share personal stories, lessons from top performers like Tom Brady and Tiger Woods, and the exact daily practices I use to retrain my brain toward confidence, clarity, and intentional living. If you’ve ever battled self-doubt, this one’s for you.

In this episode of Properties to Profits, I walk you through one of the most common and misunderstood objections in real estate wholesaling: “I already have the house in contract.” If you’ve ever had a seller say that and weren’t sure how to handle it without stepping on legal toes or losing a deal—you need to hear this.

I break down how to navigate these tricky conversations with empathy, professionalism, and the right questions to get to the truth. Whether they’re bluffing, unsure, or genuinely in contract, there’s a way to stay in the game, provide value, and position yourself as the trusted backup. This episode is packed with scripts, mindset, and tactical plays that will help you close more deals and build more trust—even when you don’t win the contract.

Episode Timeline

[0:00] Why sellers say “the house is already in contract”—and what it really means

[1:07] How to probe without pressuring, and spot smokescreens vs. real situations

[2:11] Key questions to ask that reveal the seller’s confidence (or lack of it)

[3:15] How to become a professional backup plan sellers actually trust

[4:27] When to ask for the contract—and how reviewing it can build massive credibility

[5:42] Why follow-up is everything, especially close to closing dates

[6:39] How this approach can earn you referrals, five-star reviews, and surprise deals

3 Key Takeaways

1. Many sellers don’t understand the difference between a verbal agreement and a signed contract—ask the right questions.

2. Being a respectful, reliable backup is often how you win deals that fall apart at the finish line.

3. Serving sellers with a sincere heart—even if you don’t close the deal—builds your long-term brand and trust in the market.

In this episode of Properties to Profits, I challenge you to stop coasting and start living like your future self—right now. Inspired by books like Be Your Future Self Now and 10x Is Easier Than 2x, I break down the mindset shift that separates those who dabble from those who dominate. If you’ve ever felt stuck or slow to take action, this is your wake-up call.

I dive into how urgency isn’t just about moving faster—it’s about collapsing time, making decisions from your future self’s perspective, and doing the hard things today that your future will thank you for. This episode will fire you up and give you a real-world framework to go all in—without waiting for permission.

[6:00] Loneliness, greatness, and the sacrifices champions make

[7:18] You don’t get today twice—so act like it matters

3 Key Takeaways

1. Urgency isn’t reckless—it’s required to become the person you’re meant to be.

2. Living as your future self now means making uncomfortable choices today.

3. Your intensity, focus, and speed are what separate dreamers from doers.
