## Resource

Are you building relationships… or just staying in the friend zone? In this episode of Life at Ten Tenths , Garrett and Matt unpack a subtle trap many real estate agents fall into — surface-level communication that never turns into real trust. You text. You respond. You stay in touch. But when it’s time for referrals or business… you’re not the first call. We get into: The difference between texting and true connection Why voice-to-voice or face-to-face changes everything How agents accidentally put clients in the friend zone The fluid nature of your database (and why that matters) Why ownership — not blame — builds stronger relationships How to look for “overlaps” that deepen connection This isn’t about forcing phone calls. It’s about understanding depth. If you want more referrals and stronger long-term relationships, this episode will challenge how you show up — and how you communicate. 🎧 Listen now and take ownership of the connections in your world.
