## Resource

Most real estate agents are losing business before the conversation even starts. If you’re still asking sellers if they’re “thinking about selling,” you’re probably creating resistance without realizing it. In this episode, Tim and Julie Harris break down the communication shift that’s helping agents generate more referrals, more listings, and more predictable business in the 2026 real estate market. You’ll learn why most agents avoid asking for business, how ego quietly destroys lead generation, and why sphere-of-influence conversations are still the fastest path to consistent listings. Tim and Julie also explain the exact wording agents should use to create natural referral conversations without sounding pushy or desperate. The episode also covers why “secret agents” struggle financially, how introverts can become top producers, why consistency matters more than personality, and how top agents build pipelines that don’t rely on luck. This is exactly the kind of training serious agents need heading into the 2026 housing market.
