Byron Lazine and Tom Toole discuss Redfin’s latest report showing 500,000 more sellers than buyers, NAR data showing a 6.3% drop in pending home sales, and why (and how) your listing presentation needs to evolve. They break down regional market imbalances, Trump’s meeting with Jerome Powell, and the one thing most agents fail to do post-close that’s costing them repeat business—summing up a plan for struggling agents to turn around their year. 🔑 𝐁𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐚 𝐦𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐁𝐀𝐌𝐱: https://www.skool.com/bamx 👉 𝐌𝐨𝐬𝐚𝐢𝐤 is the premier client experience platform, picking up where CRMs leave off, spanning search, transaction management, and client retention.

Most won’t have an answer. That’s your in. 21:22 – NAR data: Pending home sales fell 6.3% in April. All four regions declined. 22:27 – If rates stay at 7%, pending sales could go negative by late summer. 25:14 – Expect 6–8 month pipelines for serious buyers and sellers. 26:18 – Trump calls for rate cuts. Powell won’t cave. 29:33 – “You can argue….
