Let me be clearā¦
This email isnāt meant to be comfortable.
Itās meant to wake you up.
If you're committed to growth, mastery, and building something truly special in real estate ā then someone has to care enough to say what most wonāt.
I care enough to say the hard things.
Because I want to see you win.
Here are the 5 hard truths every agent needs to hear right now:
š„ Truth #1: The Marketās Tough ā But You Might Be Softer Than You Think
Letās be honestā¦
We just came out of a unicorn market. If you had a license and a heartbeat, you could sell homes.
That market made people look better than they were.
This market is exposing whoās really built for it.
š Top agents donāt ride waves ā they build boats.
š Are you waiting⦠or working?
š Hoping⦠or doing?
This isnāt the time to play small or play victim.
š„ Work works.
ā ļø Truth #2: No Oneās Coming to Save You
Not your broker.
Not the market.
Not better leads.
If you're not where you want to be ā it's on you. And thatās GREAT news.
Because if you're the problemā¦
You're also the solution.
Take back your power.
Stop blaming. Start owning.
šØ Truth #3: Fear Is Running the Show ā and It's Costing You
Youāre afraid to post.
Afraid to call.
Afraid to be seen.
That fear is whatās keeping you average.
Top producers aren't fearless ā they just act anyway.
š They shoot the video anyway.
š They pick up the phone anyway.
š They show up ā even when itās uncomfortable.
Do it scared. Do it messy. Just do it.
š§± Truth #4: Adversity Builds Empires
Top agents thrive under pressure. They donāt crumble ā they lead.
When a deal falls through? They go get another.
When inventory is low? They knock on doors.
When the clientās emotional? They stay steady.
This business is built in the moments most agents avoid.
š§ Your response to adversity is your brand.
š Truth #5: Insanity Is Doing the Same Thing and Expecting More
Letās call it like it is:
This market requires more.
More follow-up.
More intention.
More conversations.
More you.
Want better results? Change the playbook.
ā
Audit your time
ā
Eliminate the fluff
ā
Pick 3 high-impact activities and go ALL IN
Consistency beats complexity every time.
So hereās the real questionā¦
Will you:
š Shrug this off and hope things get better?
Or will you own your gap, embrace the truth, and start building the business (and life) you actually want?
Because someone is going to have their best year ever in 2025.
š”Why not you?
Letās get to work.
Give today your all.

Tyler Wilson
Listing Specialist, Skender-Newton Realty
As I reflect on the past decade, I can genuinely say that working at Skender-Newton Realty has been one of the most rewarding chapters of my life. Over the last 10 years, Iāve had the incredible opportunity to connect with clients on a personal levelāhelping them find not just a house, but a place they can truly call home. That level of trust and connection is what fuels my passion for real estate every single day.
Being part of the SNR family has not only been professionally fulfilling but also financially empowering. Through the support and structure here, Iāve been able to achieve significant milestonesāinvesting in both residential and commercial properties and building a solid foundation for my future.
Beyond the transactions and the properties, this journey has been just as much about personal growth. Iāve sharpened my communication skills, strengthened bonds with my coworkers, and developed the kind of time management and discipline that carry over into all areas of life. Iām proud to be part of a team that holds itself to a higher standard, and Iām excited for what the next 10 years will bring.
