In this episode, Monica and Franklyn dive into the emotional math that drives both real estate decisions and human behavior. Starting with holiday chaos and perfectionism at home, the conversation quickly shifts into how emotions show up in buying, selling, pricing, and decision-making.

They unpack:

• Why buyers hesitate even when a property checks every box
• Why sellers cling to upgrades and nostalgia instead of comps
• Why waiting for “perfect timing” sabotages people in real estate—and life
• Why the first offer isn’t always the best offer, but the best offer is often the one you miss
• How agents know the difference between a serious buyer and someone who just wants weekend entertainment

Franklyn shares stories from DC and NYC about buyers who waited themselves out of the market, while Monica recounts luxury Hamptons listings where emotional attachment outweighed logic. They talk about virtual staging, design vision, and the difference between buyers who see possibility vs. buyers who need handholding.

The back half of the episode shifts into relationships, dating, authenticity, friendships, expiration dates, and why showing up as your whole self is the only way to survive a career as demanding and personal as real estate.

The episode closes with both hosts reflecting on the past year—moving, shedding relationships, coming home to NYC, valuing real friendships, and the mindset shift going into the new year.
