5 things buyers and sellers don’t care about (and what DOES matter)

When you stop making marketing about yourself and start making it about buyers and sellers, Jimmy Burgess writes, everything changes.

Bring back integrity: A call for agents to rise in 2026

Real estate coach and contributor Darryl Davis says it’s time for agents to forget the noise and step up their integrity to define their career in the new year.

And here we are in 2025, in an industry where trust is bruised, public perception is shaky and professionals across the country are fighting to reclaim their reputation and their worth.

If there was ever a time to bring integrity back to the forefront, this is the moment.

Once anxiety takes the wheel, the listing gets weird fast, tense texts, rushed decisions, price drama, cancelled deals and expirations that “came out of nowhere.”
