Did you know I used to do improv comedy? Yep—five years on stage with zero scripts, ridiculous characters, and real people watching. And as strange as it sounds, it turned out to be one of the best training grounds for real estate I could’ve asked for.
In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on how lessons from improv made me a better agent, leader, listener, and human. From negotiating deals to dealing with flooded basements and flaky lenders—turns out, improv and real estate have a lot in common. If you’ve ever felt like you’re winging it, this one’s for you.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why “Yes, and…” isn’t just a comedy rule—it’s the ultimate trust-building phrase in real estate
- How listening like an improv partner can unlock your clients’ real needs
- What to do when everything hits the fan (hint: pivot like a pro)
- How to bring confidence without control-freak energy
- Why humor is your secret weapon for connection, referrals, and your own sanity
This one’s packed with real talk, personal stories, and a few improv flashbacks you didn’t know you needed. Because let’s be honest—real estate isn’t a perfectly scripted production. It’s a live performance with a whole lot of plot twists.
