Bricks & Risk Podcast

What are your goals with your real estate career? Why do you want to grow? Are you better off alone or with a partner? In this Bricks & Risk Podcast ep, Sean Mooney & Tim Garrity dive into the pros and cons of all the directions you can go as an agent! 🔊 ⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️ ➡️ Listen Here: https://lnkd.in/ekRUbz_6 🎧 ➡️ Watch Here: https://lnkd.in/eHwjDRZh 📺

Our 50th was a banger! We did it live, like Bill O'Reilly once did, but we didn't melt down; haha. 😤 One of our past podcast guests told us that only 1% of all podcasts have 50 episodes or more, and whether that is accurate or not in December 2024 is not what matters; we prepped-for, created, and released 50 podcast episodes ... that's what matters. Not only have Sean & I handled all of the broadcasting and marketing on our own, but we've also had a lot of fun along the way. From Tim making fun of Sean's phone, to Sean calling out Tim randomly to make him think twice. We've legitimately created a show, a vibe, and a community from scratch. 🔊 We could not be more proud of our accomplishments, and more thankful to all of our listeners and watchers for their loyalty and support. Cheers to 50 more! ➡️ Listen Here: https://lnkd.in/ekRUbz_6 🎧 ➡️ Watch Here: https://lnkd.in/eHwjDRZh 📺

Welp, the Bricks & Risk Podcast made it to 50 episodes! No. 49 was released this morning so that we can release No. 50 live this week. 🔊 To be honest, broadcasting our 50th episode live on social platforms is kind of surreal. Hard to believe we've put out that much content in a year. We'll be sharing our favorite clips to-date, going through our podcasting journey, and making fun of each other while we do it; haha. A big thank-you to Sean Mooney for co-hosting with me week-after-week, month-after-month, and having the dedication and consistency to get up and keep creating content. Another big thank-you to Terry Leahy at YunkJunk for supporting our creative vision for a show. Lastly, a humungous thank you to our audience and supporters; you inspire us to keep going and improve! Wanna see us podcast our 50th live? Tune in on Thursday 12/5 at 11:30AM. See you there!

Have you ever heard the term "FSBO?" Pronounced by the industry as "fizz-bo," a For Sale By Owner listing means that a homeowner is marketing their home for sale without the help of a Seller Agent (aka Listing Agent). 🤔 Now ... why would anyone in the world want to do that? Haha; just kidding, folks. Well, for starters, the cost to sell is typically less for FSBOs, and who doesn't want to save money on transaction fees, right? But ... and there is a big but here, FSBOs sell for less on average. Not only that, they sell for much less than a traditionally listed/marketed home. Sean Mooney & Tim Garrity share a lot of data on this Bricks & Risk Podcast ep, as well as boots-on-the-ground knowledge and experience. We hope you get a ton of value out of this one! 🎙️ ➡️ Listen Here: https://lnkd.in/ekRUbz_6 🎧 ➡️ Watch Here: https://lnkd.in/eHwjDRZh 📺
