E2: "Soda Wars, Zillow Lawsuits & Solving Client Problems"

Welcome back to Waking Up to Win with Annie and Chad, the unapologetically real podcast where real estate, mindset, and motivation collide. This week’s episode is packed with laughter, raw truths, and real-world coaching for agents who want to stop running ragged and start building a business that actually wins.

From hilarious soda-stealing stories to the serious realities of rising mortgage rates, housing affordability challenges, and messy brokerage promises, Annie and Chad pull back the curtain on what’s really happening in real estate right now. You’ll hear why selling homes isn’t about selling at all, it’s about solving problems, and how to stay focused when the headlines scream chaos. We even dive into Zillow vs. Compass lawsuits, home seller concessions, shady listing agent practices, and whether brokers should really be promising leads in the first place.

The big takeaway? Real estate isn’t about waiting on perfect market conditions, magical leads, or the right brokerage pitch. It’s about taking ownership of your business, staying solutions-focused, and refusing to let the noise distract you from your goals.

If you’re a realtor, broker, or entrepreneur looking for honest insights, sharp strategies, and a good laugh along the way, this episode delivers.
