Every Monday, a price conversation should happen, not "when it feels right." James Shaw turns Mondays into Price Reduction Monday, and agents show up with the exact playbook they use to get stuck sellers to say "let's lower it" before the agent even asks. Savannah sends a full weekly performance report pulled from Zillow, Homes.com, the MLS, and social, and half her sellers raise the reduction themselves after seeing it. Bree uses a simple three-bucket question (steady flow of showings, a few, or

Had an AHA or Insight? Share it: Most people look at money as just that. Money for no other purpose than having money. But what if money is energy you can create, move and attract? That is conscious investing as Nery Gomez, founder, president and COO of Black Sun Private Equity, practices it, and it is the opposite of how most private equity has operated for the last twenty years. I wanted this conversation because private equity is in the news for the wrong reasons. Funds are sitting on tens...
