Most real estate agents are waiting for lower rates right alongside their clients.
That is exactly why other agents are still closing transactions in the same market.
In this episode, Tim and Julie Harris explain why mortgage rates influence affordability, but life changes create real estate motivation. Buyers and sellers move because they get married, have children, relocate, retire, inherit property, change jobs, outgrow their homes, or need a different living situation.
You will learn how to uncover the real motivation behind a buyer or seller, prequalify buyers without sounding pushy, respond when someone says they are waiting for rates, and focus the conversation on monthly payment instead of market headlines.
Tim and Julie also explain why agents should stop acting like market reporters, why stronger lead generation creates better professional boundaries, and why listing-focused agents are positioned to build more durable businesses.
Your next transactions may not be hiding inside a portal, new CRM, social media strategy, or branding campaign. They may already be inside your database of past clients and sphere contacts whose lives are changing.
This episode delivers the kind of practical skill development serious agents need to compete in the 2026 market and advance their careers through professional coaching, eXp Realty, and the Libertas community.

Somewhere in your market this weekend, a neighbor at the coffee shop asked an agent, "So how's the market?" The agent said it's going to be real slow until rates improve, the conversation ended, and two weeks later that neighbor listed with somebody else.
Somewhere in your market this morning, an agent is still waiting for the crash. They're holding off on calling their sphere, holding off on the farm mailer, holding off on asking for the listing.
Nearly 14 million homes are about to change hands over the next ten years, and most of them are the family homes your buyers are dying to get.
