160. Taylor Tucker: 10K Instagram followers in one year and the confidence to bet on yourself
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.

159. Lexy Komichak: How to stay calm, sell listings fast, and win in any market
On today’s episode of the agentXcel podcast we have Lexy Komichak, and we get into what it really looks like to grow fast without your life getting heavier. Lexy 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. Lexy 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. Lexy 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.

158. Cliff Martin: From Door Knocking & Uber Rides to Top 1% Realtor
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. Connect with top real estate agents, gain valuable insights, and grow your business—all for free.

157. Joshua Smith: Build A Brokerage Inside A Brokerage
Joshua Smith joins me for a wide open conversation on production at scale, money versus time, and why picking the right mountain matters more than raw hustle. He walks through his early years from 40 deals in year one to 300 a year, the painful lessons on cash flow and margins, and the moment he realized he was running adult daycare without a sellable asset. We get into his decision to shut down other ventures, move to eXp, and rebuild from zero with a simple daily plan and strict tracking. We break down exactly how he recruits. Ten cold texts every day. Four conversations on average to a yes. About seven focused hours per recruit. A no pressure intro script that anyone can run. Weekly leader masterminds and a one to many eXp overview for newer agents. He also shares the five stages agents move through money time residual income legacy and building legacy for others and how to tailor the conversation to where someone really is. You will hear the wins and the scars. Keeping B players too long. Caving on splits. Running a brokerage with all the risk and none of the joy. Then flipping the model to build a brokerage inside a brokerage with leverage stock and recurring income while pouring coaching and systems into the people who say yes. If you want a practical blueprint to grow your business and your organization without fluff this one gives you the scripts the math and the mindset.

156. Jessica Lentz: How to Own Your Neighborhood Without Leaving Your House
On today’s episode I talk with my friend Jessica Lentz. She is tracking about 25M this year by keeping it simple. Become the local connector, serve first, and let the business follow. Jessica runs a hyperlocal, referral driven business that looks almost boring on paper, and that is the point. She manages her neighborhood Facebook group to connect people without constantly pushing listings, and she creates lightweight community events like “Egg Your Yard” that quietly build a clean database while giving families a fun experience. She publishes a small business directory, sponsors the local schools, and because it is close to home she hosts intentional open houses that bring neighbors through the door. A big part of her system is keeping homeowners in the loop the right way. Everyone who opts in to an event or resource gets added to Homebot, and Jessica personally dials in valuations so the monthly emails spark real conversations. The through line is consistency. The same activities, done the same way, over time. We also talk about mindset and seasons. Jessica explains why time on task beats chasing trends, why kids are the reason not the excuse, and how to stay opinionated online while still attracting your people. We talk about using social intentionally instead of doom scrolling, and giving yourself permission to slow down and get quiet when life allows it. If you want a calm, profitable blueprint to dominate your own backyard without living in your car, this episode will show you how Jessica does it and how you can adapt it to your market.

155. Jon Mark Estes: Cold Calls, Content, and Confidence
On today’s episode I talk with John Mark Estes. He got licensed in 2020 and has been building a consistent business ever since by leaning into two things that work for him. Social media that creates real connection and cold calling that opens real doors. We break down his daily cadence. Two hours a day calling canceled and expired listings. Theme days for outreach so the work is never a guess. Batching a full month of content at a time with a mix of talking head education and fun trending edits. Using social to stay in front of the people who already know you so they don’t forget you. He tells the Malibu story. How a single cold call turned into a fly-out meeting, a record land sale, multiple penthouse listings, and a long-term client relationship. We cover buying back time, setting simple marketing rules like 10 percent reinvested, and even spinning up a media company to keep expenses clean and consistent. We hit the human side too. Why a clear why beats the algorithm. How to handle foggy days. Using the gym to reset your brain. Practicing gratitude to get back to center.
