Let’s be real… most real estate “networking” events are the equivalent of cold coffee and stale name tags. Snooze-fest. But it doesn’t have to be that way.

In this episode of Contracts & Chaos, we’re diving into how to host agent meetups that actually matter—where connections feel natural, conversations spark new ideas, and collaboration beats competition every time.

From ditching the awkward icebreakers to creating a space where agents actually want to show up, we will share how building community can transform your business (and your sanity). Because when agents stop seeing each other as competition and start acting like community? That’s where the magic happens.

If you’re tired of meetups that suck, this one’s for you.
