## Resource

Nearly 1 in 7 pending real estate deals is falling apart before closing — and the PowerHouseTalk panel says the real problem is not just rates or headlines. It is weak communication, bad expectations, inexperienced agents, and buyers getting scared late in the process. In this episode, Tim & Julie Harris, Dan Lesniak, and Kacie Anderson break down deal fallout, AI tools agents should actually be using, Zillow going dark in Chicago, Compass/private listings, and why old-school sales skills may matter more than ever.
