Episode 7 – Strategy Over Status Quo: Breaking Free from Broken Real Estate Norms

In this powerful episode, Mike Baltazar uncovers the truth behind why the traditional real estate and mortgage process no longer serves today's homebuyers—or the professionals representing them. With over 27 years in the industry, Mike speaks candidly about the inefficiencies baked into the current system and why the Real Estate Strategy Agent (RESA) model is the future of real estate.

You’ll discover how dual-licensed professionals—those who hold both a real estate and mortgage license—are breaking free from outdated industry practices to create a smarter, more seamless experience for buyers. Mike shares how RESA empowers agents and loan officers to take back control of the client relationship, deliver higher-level service, and unlock opportunities most professionals don’t even realize exist.

Whether you're a frustrated agent, an overworked lender, or a consumer craving transparency and trust, this episode will challenge your thinking and encourage you to step into a new way of doing real estate—one rooted in strategy, not status quo.
