Description

This morning, I had the pleasure of sitting down with my longtime friend and industry legend, Jeff Quintin, CEO of The Quintin Group. Jeff and I go way back—over two decades of friendship, competition, and growth in this wild business of real estate.

In this episode, we dive into what’s really working in today’s market, what’s always worked, and how to combine proven old-school fundamentals with the modern tools that can skyrocket your business. We talk about the P-word that every agent avoids—prospecting—and why it’s still the heartbeat of success 30 years later.

This is a masterclass on consistency, adaptability, and leadership in an unpredictable market. If you’re serious about surviving the shifts and dominating 2026, this episode is for you.

Key Takeaways (from me, Maria)

• 💡 Conversations create commissions. Every deal starts with a conversation. No conversation = no closing.
• 🔑 Adaptability matters more than ever. What worked in 2020 won’t work today. Learn, pivot, and master new skills.
• 💪 It’s not the market — it’s the mindset. Focus on what you can control: your effort, your consistency, and your communication.
• 📈 Be the professional. When markets tighten, the skilled agents rise. Sellers seek out results, not excuses.
• 🔁 Repetition is freedom. Consistency builds confidence and predictable income—prospect daily, even when it’s boring.
• 🧠 Skill beats shortcuts. Role-playing, objection handling, and listening are the non-negotiables of top producers.
• 📞 The Expired Goldmine. Expired listings are the fastest way to generate business—if you’re skilled enough to earn the call.

Quotes

• Maria: “If you think you need 10 closings, plan for 13 or 14. Control the controllables—because the market won’t control itself.”
• Jeff: “Small things done consistently over time lead to big results.”
