Still out here winging it on walkthroughs, contracts, and tax exemptions? Time to leave that “struggle bunny” life behind. 🐰✌️

We’re joined by Jim Gaffney, Outside Sales Producing Branch Manager at Union Home Mortgage, aka the mortgage pro who actually picks up the phone and knows his stuff. In this episode, Jim drops his Top 10 Ways to Thrive in 2025—and yeah, it’s the kind of info that could save your next deal (and your sanity).

We’re talking:

• Tax exemptions (you’re probably missing them)

• Walkthrough disasters (and how to avoid being that agent)

• Seller concessions vs price cuts

• How to actually protect your clients—and your commission

• And the real reason you should call the lender (spoiler: it’s not optional)

If you’re serious about leveling up, this one’s a must-listen.

This episode is for every agent who’s tired of chasing $300K buyers and ready to step into the world of million-dollar closings—without even leaving home.

We’re joined by Roberto Rodriguez of EXP Realty and the C5 team, who shares how he went from skeptical to superstar selling pre-construction condos in Miami to investors across Latin America. Learn how Spanish-speaking agents can tap into this market, how the deals are structured, and what makes this niche way less stressful (and way more profitable) than your average listing grind.

We talk:

• Zoom closings for million-dollar buyers
• Why Latin American investors are flooding the Miami market
• The Bentley building (yes, with a car elevator and private pool)
• Free daily coaching for Spanish-speaking agents
• Why 10% commissions aren’t just a myth
