The real estate industry, once known for its traditional approach, has witnessed a significant shift in recent years. It has become a lot more competitive, yet a striking number of agents and brokerages remain stuck in the past.
The failure to embrace the digital revolution is leaving many real estate pros struggling to achieve the success they desire.
In a world driven by tech and digital innovation, why are so many agents and brokerages reluctant to change? What impression do people get from our online presence if we are utilizing the online world?
In this episode, Realtor and leader in the delivery of Project and Program Management solutions for Support Geeks, Michael Fielden joins us to talk about the impact of technology on real estate, and why we should be adapting with it.

With rates going up, the pandemic slowing down and people returning to the office, the resort market has seen a significant shift. Many resort markets that were experiencing a boom a couple of years ago have seen a decline, but that doesn’t mean there are no opportunities for agents.
How did the pandemic directly impact both the resort and traditional markets? Is the real estate market going to boom again? What happens if we are faced with another wave of the pandemic? Are our businesses more prepared to handle a shift?
In this episode, musician, rockstar and Realtor Paul "Black" Marmorstein joins us to talk about what exactly is going on in the resort market. Gene also shares some active steps to take for those who want to break into a brand new market.

Guest Bio
Paul "Black" Marmorstein grew up in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains in a large, active, fun-loving family. He moved to Hollywood to pursue a successful music career under the stage name Paul Mars Black, earning two platinum albums, touring the world and eventually returning to college to earn a film composition degree at CSUN. Shortly after graduation he added licensed real estate agent to his list of accomplishments.
Several years ago when friends introduced him to the San Bernardino mountains, it reminded him of the gold rush country when he was raised. After finding the house of his dreams, Paul relocated to Lake Arrowhead and pursued his passion of helping others find their ideal vacation homes. His entertainment experience and love of meeting new people makes him the perfect agent to provide a unique personal home buying experience.
Paul is currently active in all regions of California and has developed a network of top agents all across the country which he works with to help his clients relocate or expand by investing in other markets.

We've all seen countless ads and promos that claim to have the magic solution for improving our creditworthiness. Unfortunately, most of these claims are just smoke and mirrors.
Take Experian Boost, for example. It's marketed as a way to raise our credit score, but does it really deliver on that promise? The truth is Experian Boost may only impact free credit scores, which often aren't the scores that matter to lenders.
Could using Experian Boost also potentially damage our credit score? Why should we always read the fine print when it comes to credit score-boosting offers?
In this episode of the series with Author and Founder of Color My Credit, Alisa Glutz, we take a look at Experian Boost and other credit reporting software and bring truth to light on how it doesn’t actually help. Alisa also shares insight on a legitimate scoring model.

The world is a crazy place. There are so many opportunities for success but also so many opportunities to become disheartened. A lot of people are discouraged because they’re not getting the life they desire.
Everything we have in our lives, we manifest in some shape or form. What we put our time and energy into is what we get back. Manifestation and mindset are so important when it comes to visualizing the life that we want.
How do we manifest the best version of ourselves? How do we attain our goals through visualization and get to live the life we want?
In this episode, Gene and I talk about the power of manifesting, how to set our sights on what we want and how to transform our mental thoughts into reality.
