Fuel The Finish 🔥🚀🏁
2026 3rd Quarter Review: Retool, Reignite, and Recalibrate your Business to Finish 2026 Stronger than Ever, and beat the odds in this market!
Hosted by Teddy Lim, & John Tsai, Co-Founder of List More Close More.
FUEL THE FINISH 2026
71% of active agents didn't close a single deal last year.
Not one. That's per Redfin.
Read that again.
Seven out of ten licensed, "active" agents went an entire year without a paycheck from this business.
And 2026? The market isn't getting easier. It's getting pickier.
Pickier about who survives. Pickier about who thrives.
And if you're waiting for the market to bail you out? History says pack a lunch.
The last time home sales fell off a cliff, they dropped below 6 million a year in 2007. They didn't cross 6 million again until 2021.
FOURTEEN YEARS.
Right now we're sitting near 4 million. The lowest levels since 1995.
Nobody is coming to rescue the next two years. The agents who win 2027 and 2028 are the ones retooling RIGHT NOW.
If the first half of your year felt like pushing a boulder uphill, you already know.
The open houses that go nowhere. The buyers who ghost. The listings that never come. The savings account shrinking while your broker tells you to "just make more calls."
So is it the market?
No. And I can prove it.
Because in this EXACT same market, with these EXACT same rates, some agents are having the best years of their careers.
The difference? They stopped competing for scraps and found the opportunities everyone else keeps walking right past.
On September 16th, I'm putting five of those people in one room. And they're handing you their playbooks.

• One of the few Washington State Certified Builders, with 179 awards including Washington State Remodeler of the Year.

• His talk: Breaking through production barriers. The exact shifts that take agents from stuck to scaled.
MARY TUI'FUA, RN
• Founder of Elder Village Consulting
• 30 years of nursing. 22 years running Adult Family Homes herself. She has consulted for over 400 AFHs across Washington State and teaches the next generation of providers at Highline College. Nobody knows this space better.
• Her talk: The silver tsunami is here. Learn everything you need to advise clients getting their homes certified for AFH, and become the ONE agent in your market who speaks this language.
SHANE CHASE
Just added to the lineup!
• Senior Account Executive and Team Lead at Oggvo
• The man behind the "word of mouth isn't enough" wake-up call from Raw and Uncut.
• While everyone else pays for leads, Shane teaches agents how to grow on Google organically. No ad spend. Just showing up where your next client is already searching.
• His talk: Organic Google growth. Get found, get chosen, and get reviewed, so your next client finds YOU before they find your competition.
No fluff. No filler. Just five experts, five playbooks, and an afternoon that could change the trajectory of your entire business.
You can be in the 71%. Or you can be in this room.
