In this episode of SOLD by MC, I’m joined by the hilarious, brilliant, and endlessly resourceful Kathy Krebs — a Philly agent known for her wild showing stories, practical wisdom, and no-nonsense advice for new agents.

Kathy shares the real, unfiltered side of real estate: the unexpected moments during showings, the biggest mistakes agents make without realizing it, and the simple habits that can make or break your early career. From hidden cameras to surprise sellers to agent preparedness tips you definitely didn’t learn in real estate school (yes… including bathroom etiquette), this conversation is as entertaining as it is educational.

We also dive into her journey from pharmaceutical research to real estate, the skills she’s carried over from staging and transition management, and why she believes every agent should get involved with industry committees like the Women’s Council of Realtors.

And of course — we wrap it all up with the SOLD by MC Quick-Fire Round and some fun Philly + real estate trivia that Kathy absolutely crushes.

Whether you’re a brand-new agent, a seasoned pro, or someone who just loves hearing the behind-the-scenes chaos of showings, this episode is packed with stories, strategy, and plenty of laughs.
