Hosts: Kyle Fernandez, Brian Preston, David Ounanian

Episode Summary

In this candid and high-energy episode of Elevate and Execute, the guys tackle one of the most common questions in real estate and business alike: “Should I wait?” From clients waiting for the “perfect” interest rate to entrepreneurs waiting for the “right” time to start, they break down why hesitation often costs more than taking action.

The conversation moves through real-world stories from recent transactions, buyer psychology in today’s market, and the myth of “timing it right.” They share how interest rates, inflation, and affordability are shaping decisions—and why mindset and long-term vision still matter more than market conditions.
