Let’s talk about what it really means to be 5-mile famous—that sweet spot where everyone in your community knows you, trusts you, and thinks of you first when real estate comes up.

In this episode, we’re breaking down how being known locally is way more powerful than chasing internet fame, and why consistent, authentic connection is the real secret weapon in this business.

We’ll share:
🏡 What being “5-mile famous” means to us and how it’s shaped our business
📍 Easy, everyday ways to show up in your community and stay top of mind
💬 How to build genuine relationships that turn into referrals
🤝 Why being yourself (not a billboard version of you) is the key to long-term success

Because you don’t need to be famous everywhere—you just need to be famous where it matters most.

Can you believe it’s Season 3 of Contracts & Chaos?! We can’t thank you enough for hanging with us through the last two years of wild transactions, client stories, and all the behind-the-scenes madness that makes real estate… well, real estate.

And what better way to kick things off than with a fan favorite...our annual Spooky Stories in Real Estate episode! 👻 This was the very first topic we recorded, and we've made it an annual thing!

We’re sharing a few of our own spine-tingling tales (think creepy showings, haunted houses, and dead bodies), along with submissions from agents across the country who’ve seen..and survived..it all.

So grab your pumpkin spice, turn down the lights, and get ready for some real estate chills that’ll make you double-check those basement lights before your next showing.

Welcome to Season 3… where the chaos continues.

Let’s be real—there’s nothing like opening an offer email and seeing a number that makes you say, “They cannot be serious.” Whether it’s investors fishing for a steal or overzealous buyers testing the waters, how you respond matters.

In this episode, we’re walking through our Deal Triage framework—how to stay strategic (not emotional) when offers miss the mark:

If you’re tired of knee-jerk reactions and ready to approach every offer like a pro, this episode breaks down how to stay calm, confident, and in control—no matter what lands in your inbox.
