The Real Classroom: Recent Episodes
Kristin Walter
The Real Classroom Podcast is the place where we talk about all things profitable in the real estate professional world for agents, brokers and everyone in between.
It's a place where real estate agents and broker/ owners come to learn about how to increase profits while saving time and stress.
We are a community of people committed to serving and empowering others with our unique gifts and we all strive to have a work life balance if there is such a thing.
Best of all, we help each other find the courage to take it to the next level, whatever that looks like for you!
In this episode, we are tackling the topic of being a one-person real estate brokerage!
How will you get the big dollar listings, or any listings or buyers, if you are a solo broker/agent?
How will you survive when you don’t have an office to go to?
Do you know how many real estate brokerages in the U.S. are NOT affiliated with larger franchises or brands?
I will hit you with some empowering statistics and real life examples to help you decide if you can take it to the next level. Get ready to change your mindset around the topic of independence.

In today’s episode, I’m going to hit you where it hurts the most, just below the belt...How much do you lie to yourself about money? It’s easy to stay in your comfort zone, not take it to the next level, when you have the crutch of money to fall back on!
I know that I lied to myself a lot and had a lot of negative beliefs around things like cars, income, and budgeting. I also spent a lot of wasted years worrying about money, and it was a big hurdle to me starting my own brokerage and taking it to the next level.
Even if right now you are an agent who is working real estate as a side hustle, or if you are an agent thinking of opening your own shop, you will get something out of this episode.
Do any of these sound familiar…”I need a nice car to be successful.” “The money in real estate is easy!”, or “I need a lot of money to get started.”...if so, you may be surprised at what I tell you!
Take it from me, or facts that I dish out, or stories about other people, but either way you’re in for a treat with this episode about your mindset around money!

In the first episode of The Real Classroom, I tell you a little bit about me, my story, and how I came to be an independent real estate broker.
Despite all the ups, downs, and in-betweens, I have come out on top to maintain a successful real estate brokerage and I want to share my journey with you.
I’m speaking my truth about the obstacles I have faced, from within, and from other people. It took me many years to figure out the main obstacle that was holding me back from taking it to the next level--so take a listen to hear what that was! And maybe my story can inspire you to overcome the same obstacle!
I also tackle how I handled the burnout stage, and came back from it to be the most successful I’ve ever been!
If you enjoy people who are inspirational, real, raw, funny, and in real estate, then you may enjoy my show!

By now you know that all the episodes so far have been a lot about self talk, or attitudes. This episode is labeled ‘self talk’ because it really is about how we see ourselves, and thus talk to ourselves.
How much of what is holding you back has to do with the way you see yourself? How much is it that honestly other people don’t care because they’re so wrapped up in themselves?
Like do you think you are too old, young, pretty, ugly, introverted, extroverted, or whatever it is about you that’s holding you back??!!!
Are you one of my people who thinks that the world doesn’t need more leaders? Do you think that you have nothing unique to contribute?
Think again, because I really want to prove you WRONG on all these things. I’ll tell you stories about my journey, but also hit you with some real life statistics. Take a listen, give me a chance, and see if you come out the other side with a different mindset.

Time is a funny thing, isn’t it? We all have the same amount of it each day, and we are always at choice at how we spend it. In this episode, I break down the lies about time that real estate agents tell themselves that prevent them from taking it to the next level.
If you think that you can’t have a business AND a 9 to 5 job, or that you have to work every weekend, then think again!
How about worrying about retiring from the real estate profession? Don’t want to die at your desk?
And for my slackers...do you think that having a real estate business is a 9 to 5 job and maybe even less?
I’m going to prove you wrong, and inspire you to be the master of your own schedule.
