Today’s topic exposes one of the biggest money leaks in our industry — buying leads. Every day, agents hand over up to 40% of their commission to lead-selling companies. They call it “marketing.” We call it paying to stay broke. In 2025, the data is clear: 78–82% of all transactions still come from repeat and referral business (NAR 2025), yet agents collectively spend over $16 billion a year on paid leads and advertising (HousingWire + RealTrends). The agents who thrive aren’t the ones buying business — they’re the ones building it. Let’s break down how to stop renting your pipeline and start owning it. ✨ HUGE Announcement! ✨ Everything from today’s show (yes, the notes too!) is waiting inside our Daily Newsletter.
