Why 87% of Real Estate Agents Fail (And How to Make Sure You Don’t)
This might be the most honest post I’ve ever made.Not because it’s flashy but because it’s real. And most agents aren’t ready for it. Here’s the truth: 87% of agents fail within their first 2 years. Not because they’re lazy. Not because they’re dumb. But because they were lied to about what this business really takes. I’ve trained over 5,000 agents now and I can tell you from experience: Those who win follow a very different blueprint than the ones who fail. Let me give it to you straight: ❌ 1. The Plan B Problem 🧠 2. Part-Time Mindset = Part-Time Results 🗣 3. Stop Taking Advice From People You Wouldn’t Trade Places With 🎯 4. The #1 Skill That Will Separate You: Communication 🔁 5. Obsess Over Income-Driving Activities 🧠 6. Most of You Are Lying to Yourselves This industry is tough. But if you're serious about building a six-figure business (and beyond)…I'd love to help you create a custom strategy. No pitch. Just a real call. Click here to book a free strategy call with me. 📩 If you want to watch the entire training where I break all 6 of these points down in depth, message me directly the number "87%" & I'll send it your way! Let’s get to work. – Alexis

“Fair Enough?” — The 2 Words That Close Deals (Even When They’re Hesitant)
One of the most underrated closing techniques I use as an agent is asking: “Does that sound fair enough?” Let me break down why this works so well. 🎯 It triggers reciprocity Psychologically, when you give someone a concession, A timeline adjustment, a flexible commission, a shorter contract, a sweetener in the deal…And then follow it with: “Fair enough?” …you’ve just tapped into one of the strongest human triggers: The Law of Reciprocity. No one wants to be the “unfair” one in the exchange. They received something now they feel pulled to give back. In sales, that means agreement. 💬 Real examples I use: Let’s say I’m wrapping up a listing presentation, and the seller says: “I’m just not sure about locking in for six months.” Instead of fighting them or backing down, I’ll say: “Look, John, totally get it. What if we reduced it to a 90-day agreement, just to make sure you feel comfortable moving forward? Does that sound fair enough to at least give this a shot?” Most of the time, they say yes. Language framing for agents If a seller pushes for a lower commission, instead of folding or debating it, I lean into agreement and tone: “You know what, John? That’s fair. I can see why you’d feel that way, especially in this market.” Then I pivot into my value. It levels the playing field, keeps them engaged, and prevents resistance from going up. If you’re trying to become a master communicator, don’t just study objection handling… Study objection prevention Study reciprocity Study linguistic framing And start asking: “Does that sound fair enough?” …right before they say yes. 📩 Comment "FAIR" if you got value from this & are going to start using this in your business.

Exact Cold Calling Workflow To Take 3-5 Appointments A Week (Start to Finish)
A lot of agents ask me: “Alexis, how do you prep before your calls?” “What’s your actual process when dialing FSBOs?” Here’s the truth: If you’re just grabbing a random dialer list and hoping for the best You’re missing the point. I treat every call like a potential listing. So here’s exactly what I do before I ever pick up the phone: Step 1 – Manually Filter FSBOs on Zillow I don’t rely on automated lists. I go on Zillow → “For Sale by Owner” → and manually filter the properties that look worth pursuing (High Price, New listing, in a aria you know, ect..) I’m looking at photos, description, pricing, how long it’s been listed, and most importantly… intent. Step 2 – Pull Full Property Data in PropStream Before I call, I want to know: - Owner’s name - Mortgage status - Length of ownership - Equity position - Any signs of motivation This tells me how to frame the call and helps me personalize my questions so I sound like a pro—not a script-reading rookie. Step 3 – Then (and only then), I Call At this point, I’m prepared. I know who I’m talking to. I know why this might be a deal. I know the angle I’m playing. And that preparation shows in my confidence, tonality, and conversion rate. 🎯 This entire process takes 45 seconds more than batch dialing...But it gets way better results because it creates conversations that actually go somewhere. Want a FREE 7 day trial to try Propstream for yourself?

Let's have a great weekend! —Alexis

7 Entrepreneurship Truths (I Wish Someone Had Told Me)
Today hit heavy. So I grabbed the keys, went for a drive, filmed, and posted a YouTube video that’s been on my heart for a while. But I wanted to share here as well... If you’re building something if you feel like you're behind, misunderstood, or stuck in the grind with nothing to show for it yet. This one’s for you. Here are 7 truths I’ve learned after 14+ years in the trenches: 1. Winning Doesn’t Feel Like Winning. You’ll be doing everything right & still feel like you’re behind.Because winners don’t chase feelings. They chase progress. 2. Money Won’t Fill the Hole. Your first six-figure year won’t save you. Your AMG won’t save you.Real joy? It comes from helping others, family, purpose—not paychecks. 3. It’s Not About Being Smart. I barely graduated. I dropped out of college.Success came because I didn’t stop. Period. 4. People Won’t Understand You. Your vision will confuse them. You’ll disappoint people—maybe even your family.But temporary disappointment creates long-term pride. 5. The Better You Get, the Lonelier It Feels. There are fewer people at every level you climb.But that isolation forces you to evolve. 6. More Money = More Pressure. Every income level requires a higher capacity for stress.But if you shift your perception, pressure becomes opportunity. 7. You’ll Always Feel Behind. Even when you’re in the 1%, you’ll feel like you’re not doing enough.And that’s what keeps you ahead. If you're deep in it right now and wondering if it’s worth it, it is.But only if you’re willing to pay the price most people won’t... & that's up to you to decide. 📩 If you want to take a drive with me & listen to the full video, message me “TRUTH” and I’ll send you the full video. This one’s not a flex. It’s the real truth behind the highlight reel. —Alexis

2025: Your Business Is Your Brand (How To Show Up Like It)
Let’s make one thing clear: People don’t buy products. People don’t buy features. People buy energy. In 2025, your brand is how you show up.Your business is the reflection of that brand. And YOU are the product. Sellers don’t choose you just because you know the comps.Buyers don’t work with you just because you have access to MLS. They choose you because: - You have presence - You carry confidence - You radiate the belief that you can get them from Point A to Point B Even if you don’t have all the answers yet—They trust you because they feel you’ll figure it the f*ck out. (And with the right team behind you—you will.) So here’s the truth: You had a bad morning? Client ghosted you? Deal fell through? Cool. Process it. Then move. Because nobody’s buying your drama—they’re buying your vision. 💡 People buy YOU.Your certainty.Your energy.Your brand in motion. Start acting like the business you want to build. 📩 Drop a comment below if you thought this was helpful, & let me know your biggest takeaways. Let's Goooo💪 —Alexis
