Send us a text

In this episode of the Broker’s Playbook, Simeon Papailias sits down with Chris Slightham, Broker of Record and third-generation real estate leader, to break down what’s actually happening in today’s market and what agents must do to adapt.

This isn’t a conversation about hype or headlines. It’s a data-driven breakdown of:
• Why sales are down but total housing transactions are up
• How rental activity has surged while buyer confidence collapsed
• Why interest rates aren’t the real problem
• What separates agents who survive from those who exit the industry
• How to pivot your business in a skills-based market

Chris explains why this market feels harder than anything most agents have experienced and what strategies actually work when transaction volume dries up.

If you’re a real estate agent navigating uncertainty, shrinking sales, or changing buyer behavior, this episode is essential viewing.
