| 68. Development without Displacement with Anthony Kimble | 27 Nov 2024 | 00:28:58 | |
Areas with predominantly Black populations, especially inner cities, have been intentionally divested from for decades. How do we reinvest in those areas without displacing that same population, given the reality of the political and economic system we live in today? Anthony Kimble joins us to discuss exactly that. If bank presidents, government leaders, and every seat of power that created divested areas decided to intentionally reverse those actions, then the problem would be solved. But that’s probably not going to happen any time soon. So how, as real estate professionals, do we do our part? Anthony gives us his perspective as a successful developer in Baton Rouge, including the importance of starting with small projects. He lays out a passionate but grounded case for how we need to unite and build long-lasting economic and political power. This is an episode you’re going to want to listen to over and over again.

| 64. Will to Win with Keith James | 30 Oct 2024 | 00:43:39 | |
Coaching, teamwork, recruitment, stats, and a passion for winning — the way Emerick, Daniel, and today's guest, Keith James, talk in this episode, you might think it's an NBA podcast. But they're talking real estate. Keith is the co-owner of Coalition Properties, a powerhouse business that's done over $700 million in sales since 2019. With stats like that, you'd think the wins come easy. But this year has been anything but straightforward for Keith and his team. From navigating a slow start to restructuring budgets and scaling up recruitment, Keith had to focus on consistency and doubling down on what works — and on top of it all, he faced an Achilles injury that forced him to lean into his team and systems even more. In this episode, Keith shares the lessons that carried him through these challenges, reminding us that "It doesn't matter how you start; it matters how you end." This episode will leave you ready to tackle whatever's in front of you — and maybe even inspire you to hit the court! Resources:

The investment formula she learned along the way was: find it, fund it, flip it, and exit. She explains how to identify and capture value at each stage of that formula. We dissect how group economics can have a positive impact but how it can also hold us back. Rashuana teaches us her approach to community investments, including how to have tough conversations.

Recently, we convened at the annual Keller Williams Mega Agent Camp, and more specifically, as the KW Black Real Estate Network (BREN). In today's episode, we reflect on that experience. At the KW BREN events, we found a space to build deeper relationships, feel our value, be celebrated, share common struggles, be reenergized, exchange knowledge and resources, and remember our own definitions of success. We each share our stories of how this network supported us and how we, in turn, supported others. This podcast is part of that connection. We are grateful for each other as hosts, and we are grateful for you, our listeners. We hope you feel reenergized by this conversation and that you'll share this show with anyone who wants to be part of growing this network. Resources:

| 55. Revisited: Wealth Building with Brett Tanner | 14 Aug 2024 | 00:42:00 | |
As real estate agents, sometimes we get so busy helping our clients build their wealth that we neglect our own wealth-building journey. That’s why we’re re-publishing our episode with Brett Tanner, Head Coach of the KW Wealth Community (this time with video). Outside of private companies, real estate is the number one asset of wealthy people. Brett explains that real estate agents have an unfair advantage when it comes to this kind of wealth investment– and that’s a good thing. Join us as we discuss the skills and mindset agents need to build their personal wealth today. Resources:

| 54. Revisited: Owning Real Estate with Ryan Butler | 07 Aug 2024 | 00:35:48 | |
An episode so nice that we had to publish it twice—this time with video. Ryan Butler was our guest on our show in 2023 and will soon be featured in Keller Williams' new video series about role models in the industry. So, in honor of the occasion, we dug back into the archives and found the video recording of the episode. Ryan Butler is not just any real estate mogul; he's part of the real deal, the Coalition Properties Group. If you're in the Maryland, DC, or Virginia area, you've probably heard of them. Over the last four years, they've sold 1100 homes, closing over 500 million in volume. Ryan shares his inspiring journey from Mississippi to becoming a top real estate agent in Washington, D.C. He also talks about how his team has given over a million dollars to charity. Ryan emphasizes the benefits of owning real estate, such as financial security and retirement income, and provides practical advice on financing options like NACA. He also highlights the importance of building a strong team and working together to achieve greater success. We also discuss the value of community involvement and the power of group economics in real estate investments.

| 49. Starting Over | 03 Jul 2024 | 00:24:21 | |
Global financial crisis, illness, divorce, foreclosure, death of a child—Julia has experienced it all and more. Numerous times, she has lost everything and had to start over. That’s incredibly difficult for anyone, but for real estate professionals, that can be nearly impossible. Today, Julia shares with us how to start over. She gives us tips on how to get your mind right. She teaches us how to use lessons learned to make our business more risk-proof. Most importantly, she explains how to use crises to build your confidence. Success is not a linear path. Most people who make money also experience losing money.

| 48. Preparing for Opportunity: Beyond Just a Conversation | 26 Jun 2024 | 00:25:00 | |
It’s only an opportunity if you’re prepared. If you’re not prepared, you’re just having a conversation. That’s why, in this episode, we’re going to coach you on being prepared to seize opportunities as they arise. We talk about getting your mind right: meditating, journaling, and developing a vision for your life. We discuss getting your resources prepared, whether that means money or other resources like education, relationships, etc. We also go through the checklist you should have on hand to evaluate opportunities when they do arise. What’s the biggest benefit possible? What’s the biggest risk? How much work is involved? How passionate are you about it? As real estate professionals, opportunities will arise if you pursue them and are prepared. We hope this episode helps you do just that. Resources:

| 47. Mid-Year Reflection: Navigating the Changing Real Estate Landscape | 19 Jun 2024 | 00:28:44 | |
Don’t wish it were easier—focus on getting better. That’s our mantra as we do our mid-year reflection and preparation for what comes next. Inventory is down, interest rates are up, and the legal landscape makes it harder for agents to get paid. If you do the same amount of work the same way you always have, you’re probably going to earn less moving forward. But don’t dwell on that because there is a way forward. We dive into the solutions. Get better at your listening and dialogue skills to create “emotional stickiness.” Brush up on your knowledge of financing. Make strategic investments. The real estate market swings. It always has. We’re focused on being resilient in the hard times to be prepared to reap rewards in the good times. Resources:

| 45. 7 Steps to Effective Leadership | 05 Jun 2024 | 00:31:46 | |
Today, we’re diving deep into one of the foundational pillars of wealth building: leadership.

Whether you’re leading your own path or guiding others, the journey is filled with trials and tribulations. Our experiences as operating principals of a franchised brokerage have shown us firsthand the complexities of leadership. We’ll share our thoughts and stories about leading others.

| 44. Being a 30 Under 30 Finalist: Moti Shiferaw & Isaiah Hazward | 29 May 2024 | 00:22:17 | |
It’s rare for two real estate professionals from the same area and same brokerage to be named as REALTOR Magazine’s 30 under 30 Rising Stars finalists. But once you meet Moti Shiferaw and Isaiah Hazward, you realize they are truly special people. Moti and Isaiah join us on today’s episode. We learn about their backgrounds and motivations. Moti comes from an Ethiopian immigrant family who never owned their own home, which is why he now specializes in working with that community to help folks achieve home ownership. Isaiah’s parents were contractors– by the time he signed up for his real estate license at the age of 19, he already knew the developments in the DMV and Baltimore area like the back of his hand. These young men share with us wisdom beyond their years: How they handle adversity, build their businesses, and connect the black community to home ownership. Take a listen and know that the future of real estate is in good hands. Resources:

We have a great discussion with Rob and Justin about the power of “being in the right room.” We also talk about how real estate agents, no matter where they are in their journey, need to grow their leadership capabilities.

| 42. Generational Wealth as a Strategy with Dr. Pamela Jolly | 15 May 2024 | 00:33:04 | |
Everyone receives inheritances, and everyone leaves some kind of inheritance, even if those inheritances are not financial in nature. Today, our guest is Dr. Pamela Jolly, a wealth strategist who specializes in legacy wealth. She explains that legacy is about understanding who and what we have inherited and how we can choose what inheritance we leave behind. Dr. Jolly also explains that generational wealth is a strategy. It is where you, as a family business, determine how you will create, build, grow, and expand wealth as you define it. She talks about the unique challenges each generation faces in continuing that strategy and how to get past them. Real estate, as Dr. Jolly points out, is one of the key components of generational wealth. Ownership is the foundation of inheritance, and home ownership is one of the most important kinds. Join us in this episode to soak up all of Dr. Jolly’s knowledge and wisdom, including her 12 steps to build wealth your way. Resources:

| 41. Buyer Representation for Homebuyers with Patricia Long | 08 May 2024 | 00:38:40 | |
Worried about how you’re going to earn your buyer commission after the Sitzer-Burnett lawsuit ruling? You definitely aren’t alone. But Patricia Long, broker and co-owner of Keller Williams Preferred Properties, is here to talk us through it. On one level, nothing has really changed. You should have already been requesting your client sign a buyers’ agreement that says they will pay you if the seller does not. You should have already been showcasing your value and going above-and-beyond for your clients. On another level, this could be devastating for first-time home buyers who can barely afford the down payment, but can’t afford to pay the buyer commission out of pocket. These buyers are often black. They will likely either be left behind, taken advantage of, or not catered to. So what can we do? Tune in to hear Patricia’s advice on engaging politically, fine-tuning your value proposition, and doubling down on relationship-building. Resources:

| 39. Building Blocks: Real Estate, Community and Impact with Harrison Beacher | 24 Apr 2024 | 00:29:03 | |
The fundamental building blocks for growing a real estate company and impacting a community are the same. Harrison Beacher from the Coalition Properties Group joins the show today to explain how. Harrison’s company has served over 1,700 families for $650 million in sales volume in the DC metro area since 2019. During that time, they’ve also facilitated over $1 million in charitable contributions. How has he managed to do so much for the community while also building a super successful business? He explains that real estate sales and building relationships in the community overlap well, if you are generous and selfless. Harrison’s three building blocks are: First, learn about your community and reach out to people. Second, get to know them and what they need. Third, provide them what they need. Those building blocks work for lead generation as well as helping nonprofits with your time, talent, and treasure. If you have a head for business and a heart for impacting the world for good, you’re going to find a lot of useful information this episode. Resources:

| 36. Path to Becoming 30 Under 30 with Daniel Walcott | 03 Apr 2024 | 00:38:15 | |
What does it take to be named one of REALTORⓇ Magazine’s 30 under 30? Daniel Walcott joins us today to tell us about the path that led him to the award. It wasn’t an easy or perfect path. Daniel got his first taste of real estate as a Howard student when he joined the Real Estate Club. Then, in his first year as a professional real estate agent, he only sold one house. But he found mentorship and support in other Keller Williams agents. And he stuck with it. Never give up and never stop learning, that’s what Daniel says got him to where he is today. Now as he grows his business and becomes a leader himself, he keeps that same focus: Never give up and never stop learning. Join us for an uplifting episode about envisioning your future and building wealth through real estate. Resources:

| 35. Understanding Credit and Credit Worthiness | 27 Mar 2024 | 00:30:33 | |
Credit is a game with its own rules– rules that don’t even make sense a lot of times– but it’s a game all of us Americans have to play if we want to be ok financially. In this episode, we dive into the basics of ‘the game’ and talk about why you really need to work with a professional when it comes to building your credit. We have a lot of “did you know” moments in this episode. Like: Did you know using more than 30% of your credit card limit is bad for your credit score? That’s right– getting your credit utilization rate right will do more for your score than paying off some collection accounts. We also get into the weeds a little bit, for real estate professionals. We cover how the FHFA has started to allow lenders to use FICA 10T and VantageScore models to evaluate borrowers. There is a lot to chew on in this episode. You’re going to have the urge to take some notes and then look up your nearest reputable credit professional. Enjoy! Original summarization of the episode. Resources:

| 34. Closing the Homeownership Gap with Tre Adams | 20 Mar 2024 | 00:35:47 | |
Minneapolis has long had one of the largest home ownership gaps in the country. In the last five years, though, that gap has started to shrink. Black home ownership is slowly on the rise. Tre Adams of the Signature Group Real Estate team is part of the reason why. He’s here today to tell us how he’s been successful in helping first-time Black homebuyers in the Minneapolis area. Tre is an example of how powerful a real estate professional can be, not only in changing individual lives, but moving the needle on major social issues. He comes to the job equipped– he’s ready to talk about credit scores, down payment assistance programs, and anything else that can help somebody get closer to their goal of owning a home. He surrounds himself with a team of people as passionate about closing the home ownership gap as he is: Loan officers, title professionals, etc. Just like the homeownership gap was intentionally created through racist laws and practices, we can do our part to intentionally close it. Our conversation with Tre will inspire and equip you to take on this challenge. Resources:

This episode comes to you live from Las Vegas! It is the Keller Williams Family Reunion 2024 and we’ve gathered as a panel with friend of the podcast, Bo Menkiti, to discuss the wealth building continuum. And we aren’t just talking about the wealth building continuum in general, we’re talking about it from our perspective as black entrepreneurs looking to close the wealth gap for our families and communities. We don’t just talk about the pillars of building wealth, we tell our personal stories with each one. We give you a front-row seat to how we worked to create value with our time and talent, and then invested and multiplied that value. We’re honest about our ups and downs in building teams and learning leadership skills. We talk about how we’ve each found our own unique ways to protect and grow our money, based on our own unique goals and lives. Building wealth can seem impossible, but we share everything we’ve learned to help you get there. After all, it’s going to take all of us to close the wealth gap for black and marginalized communities. Resources:

| 32. Her First Home with J. Rene Walker | 06 Mar 2024 | 00:35:50 | |
Our guest today is business leader and best-selling author, Ms. J. Rene Walker. Ms. Walker is currently the managing broker for Compass Texas, overseeing almost 4,000 real estate agents in the state of Texas. She's been past president of the Austin Black Real Estate Professionals and past president of Williamsburg County Association. She has also been named Realtor of the Year and Businesswoman of the Year. On top of all these successes, Ms. Walker has something that makes her leadership truly invaluable: She has the lived experience of being a black woman buying her first home. We discuss Ms. Walker’s book, “Her First Place,” which she says is both a how-to book and love letter to black women. She lists the steps the reader needs to take to buy their first home, including all the questions to ask about mortgages, home history, etc. But she also makes sure to tell the human side– her book includes story after story of black women successfully buying their first home. Her bottom line message: You can do this, and you are not alone. In fact, based on the book, Ms. Walker started her own foundation to help black women cover the down payment to their first home. From denying the right to land after the Civil War, to red lining, to predatory practices today, there has been multi-generational, intentional action to impoverish black people in America. Ms. J René Walker is an inspiring, powerful counteracting force. Tune in to hear her story, her vision, and her plan. Resources:
