概要

The real life of agents, lenders, and moms who do it all.


If you’ve ever cried in your car between appointments or negotiated a contract while microwaving chicken nuggets, welcome home.


This is Realty Check - the show where sanity is optional, caffeine is mandatory, and we say the quiet parts out loud.


We’re Amanda and Leni. Two moms building our businesses in the middle of snack requests, appraisal deadlines, and never-ending group texts.


We’re not here to give you the polished version. We’re here to talk about the deals that almost broke us, the clients who became family, and the moments that made us wonder if quitting to raise alpacas would be easier.


Whether you’re a real estate agent, a lender, a mom, or just someone trying to keep it together while building a career…you’re seen, you’re understood, and you’re in the right place.


Every episode, we’re pulling back the curtain on what success actually looks like when motherhood and real estate collide. With humor, honesty, and a whole lot of “did that really just happen?”


Wherever you are - working, driving, crying, thriving - we’re in this with you.

Hit follow, drop us a review, and remember: the highlight reel is fake, but this community is real.

    When "Business as Usual" Feels Impossible.

    The world feels heavy right now. Between the headlines and the household, it’s easy to feel like you’re just screaming into the void. On this episode of The Realty Check Podcast, we’re stepping away from the housing market stats to have a heart-to-heart about the state of our country and our lives.

    As Sacramento parents and business owners, we’re navigating the same "unprecedented times" you are. How do we keep the lights on and the kids happy when the political climate feels like a constant storm?

    In this episode, we discuss:

    The Mental Load: How we manage the anxiety of the 24-hour news cycle while running a business.

    Parenting with Purpose: Navigating tough conversations with our kids without passing on the burnout.

    Finding Your Frequency: Ways to get involved in your community at a "risk level" that feels sustainable for you.

    The Light in the Dark: We share some of our favorite poems and content creators who are providing clarity and hope right now.

    This isn't just a political chat; it’s a survival guide for the modern American.

    Grab a coffee (or something stronger) and join us for some much-needed perspective.

  • 4. HOW OUR HOME BUYING STORIES SHAPED OUR REAL ESTATE CAREERS
    2026/01/22

    Send us a text

    Buying a home doesn’t just change where you live.
    It changes how you trust, how you ask questions, and how safe you feel making big decisions.

    In this episode, Amanda Freeman and Leni Lopez share their very different home buying experiences, one as a buyer, one as an observer, and how those moments shaped the real estate professionals they eventually became.

    They talk honestly about fear, power dynamics, emotional labor, and why being adjacent to the process can sometimes teach you more than signing the paperwork yourself.

    This episode is for anyone who has ever felt overwhelmed, unseen, or unsure during a home purchase, and for agents who want to understand what clients are really carrying into the process.

  • 3. BRANDING. AND THEN RE-BRANDING
    2026/01/08

    Send us a text

    Branding isn’t your logo, your colors, or your fonts.

    It’s the decision you make about who you’re allowed to be publicly. And most people are still building a business around a version of themselves from five years ago.

    In this episode, we strip branding down to what it actually is, how people experience you when you’re not in the room, and why inconsistency isn’t usually the problem. Lack of clarity is. If someone followed you for 30 days and still wouldn’t know who you help, what you stand for, or what you refuse to do, this conversation is for you.

    We talk honestly about branding inside companies, brokerages, and teams, the tradeoff between safety and sovereignty, and what happens when your brand doesn’t fully belong to you. We also name the uncomfortable truth: freedom in branding requires responsibility. When no one hands you a template, you have to decide.

    At the center of this episode is branding through life change. Divorce, name changes, motherhood, burnout, career pivots, growth. The fear of confusing people versus the cost of staying misaligned. Why life changes don’t ruin your brand, they reveal it. And why pretending nothing changed quietly erodes trust.

    You’ll walk away with a practical, not cringey framework to revisit your own brand, grounded in identity, values, boundaries, and voice.

    This episode is permission to rebrand, and rebrand again.

    Because branding is not a one time decision. It’s an ongoing conversation between who you are and who you serve. And when it starts to feel tight, it’s probably time to listen.
