On today's episode of the agentXcel podcast we have Taylor Tucker, a 24-year-old Realtor who just crossed her two-year mark and is already building real momentum by betting on herself, working hard, and showing up authentically online and in real life.

Taylor shares how she started on a team and built her initial pipeline through massive action, including 30 open houses in 30 days and 50 open houses in two months during the peak of summer. Those conversations turned into real transactions, including her first home sold from a neighbor who walked into an open house.

She explains why she left her team after a year to build her own brand, why social media mattered early on, and why a 50/50 split no longer made sense once she fully committed to her business.

Taylor breaks down how she grew a brand new real estate Instagram to 10,000 followers in one year by posting daily, staying consistent, and keeping her content entertaining instead of salesy. That consistency has led to clients who already trust her before the first conversation.

We also talk about batching content with a videographer, using social media reach as leverage with sellers, shifting messaging toward higher level clients, and her focus heading into 2026 on luxury listings, cold calling, and a disciplined 75 medium style reset. The core takeaway is simple. Confidence attracts, arrogance repels, and results come when you stop overthinking and just post.

On today's episode of the agentXcel podcast we have Lexi Komichak, and we get into what it really looks like to grow fast without your life getting heavier. Lexi shares what it meant to hit the eXp Arizona leaderboard, why accolades are fun but not the point, and how collaboration inside a real crew helps top agents level up without gatekeeping.

We talk about mindset in a "tough market," staying neutral in hard conversations, and why labeling everything as good or bad is what creates the stress. Lexi breaks down how she's selling most of her listings quickly by executing on the two things that matter most: price and presentation, including how she uses staging and pre-list prep to win on Zillow first and get more buyers through the door.

We also dig into negotiation without ego, how to handle low offers without emotion, and why some deals fall apart because agents make it personal. Lexi shares her business sources, how open houses have driven a huge portion of her production, and why she stays in her lane geographically while still serving clients with integrity. We close with the women's network she's building inside the agentXcel crew, creating a space for more voices at the table, and why leadership is simply creating what you wish existed.

In this episode of the agentXcel Podcast, Chris talks with Cliff Martin, a Los Angeles born Realtor who moved his family to Tri Cities, Washington and closed 29 homes in his first year in a brand new market.

Cliff failed the real estate exam eight times, passed on the ninth, and is now a top one percent agent in the United States. This conversation blends real estate strategy with faith, resilience, and serving people through some of the toughest moments of their lives.

Cliff shares how he left banking and trucking to pursue real estate, pushed through embarrassment and doubt around the licensing exam, and later made the bold decision to move to a market where he knew no one.

He relied on hustle and creativity like door knocking, driving Uber, and handing out Cliff Bars with his card attached. Those efforts brought him 29 closings in his first year in a new city.

Chris and Cliff also talk about working two states at once and using support and structure to do more with less stress, as well as what he is doing today to stay in the top one percent of Realtors. They discuss money, debt, and why financial wisdom gives you the ability to serve without desperation.

This episode is for any agent who feels discouraged, stuck, or determined to build a business with purpose. Cliff's story is a reminder that with belief, grit, and consistency all things are possible.
