Most real estate podcasts tell you what to post—the trends, the templates, the strategies everyone swears by. Above Asking is different. This is a perspective-driven show for the next-gen real estate agent who wants to build a brand that stands out by learning how to think, not just what to do.
If you're showing up, posting consistently, doing all the things, but you're starting to wonder if any of this is actually going to work, you're in the right place. Everyone's giving you the what. Nobody's teaching you the how. So you're out here with no real strategy behind any of it, and it's way harder than it looked.
That's exactly what I'm here to help you change. On Above Asking, I help you stop copying what everyone else is doing and start building a content and brand strategy you actually trust. One that attracts the right clients and feels like yours.
We're talking about what's working right now, what's coming next, and how to build a business clients are drawn to without chasing every trend or burning yourself out trying to keep up.
I'm Alyssa Jones. I started as a solo agent, built my business through content and connection, and now I help other agents do the same as Head of Member Education and Strategy at Coffee & Contracts. This show is where I break down what's working, what's changing, and how to move your business forward through it all.
If you're ready to think differently, cut through the noise, and build a brand you're obsessed with, hit play!
