“We're simply saying, "Hey, let's take that money, put it back into the market. Let's provide more liquidity in the market for home buyers and sellers and real estate agents.'"Episode 254 of The Smart Agents Podcast features Chad Link and Rob Brewer of Swyvvl to share how they’re building a platform designed to help agents control their client acquisition costs, generate higher-quality leads, and give buyers and sellers real financial benefits. With decades of combined real estate and tech experience, Chad and Rob saw firsthand how overpriced lead platforms and middlemen were draining billions from agents and clients every year.

“There's going to be once or twice a year that you get a deal come across your desk that's just a great deal."
“There's going to be once or twice a year that you get a deal come across your desk that's just a great deal." Episode 253 of The Smart Agents Podcast, Reno-based team leader and investor Scott Durham shares how he went from struggling new agent to building a thriving business that spans team leadership, flipping properties, and long-term investing. Launching his real estate career in 2004 Scott hit roadblocks early on—trying everything from cold calling to coaching programs with little success. But once he leaned into online marketing and lead generation, things started to click. He scaled to 70+ deals a year, built a lean, supportive team and eventually realized he was leaving massive wealth-building opportunities on the table by not investing in the very deals he was helping clients find. 👉 Connect With Scott:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/real.scottdurham/Website: https://www.sellfastnv.com/
