  • One last aria as we march towards the grand finale for Key Exchanges. Is this the end? I have no idea, but in this episode I reflect on how far we’ve come as a show and I’m also joined by my friend John Arroyo with Ruby Red Media and we share some of our favorite moments from Season 2.

    I cannot thank you enough for taking time out of your busy lives to slow down to listen to this show over the 85 episodes that we’ve been in existence.

    · 4,963 minutes of Key Exchanges has been distributed since our first episode on October 5th, 2020

    · We’ve been listened to in 44 different states (I’ve got my eye on you DE, ID, NH, SD, WV, and WY)

    · Listened to in 41 different countries (shoutout Tajikistan as a country I’d never heard of and Germany for being our second most popular country)

    · Listened to on all 6 continents that people actually live on

    · Our listenership for new episodes grew 47% from Season 1 so far (it takes 90 days to get a true sample)

    · when you factor in downloads of our first 55 episodes we more than doubled our listenership in the last 6 months.

    All of this is completely mind blowing to me and truly speaks to the amazing cast of characters that make up our local real estate community. Thank you so much for being willing to tune in at some point along the way. I’m not sure what the next iteration of this will look like, but I’ve appreciated you joining me for this part of our journey. Thank you so much for listening to Key Exchanges in the 901.

  • We’re wrapping up season two and our second to last episode is a really special one that you’ll be glad you listened to immediately.

    Our featured partners this week are Mid South Title and Sophie Sandlin Raines with Community Mortgage.

    Michael Bryan is the broker/owner of Bryan Realty Group that has vaulted into a top 10% brokerage in the city and they’re wrapping up year 6 in business. He’s never going to be the flashiest one in the room but he’s built and incredibly impressive business by just steadily putting in the work and delivering for his clients over the course of his nearly 2 decades in the industry and the results speak for themselves.

    In our second segment we have something never before seen on KE901. I have had several interviews where before or after the microphones are recording, I’m told an amazing story by a guest that just couldn’t be shared attached to their name on the show. In this episode I bring in several mystery guests who have been granted anonymity and I’ve been sworn to secrecy so that they can share some of the untold stories of Memphis real estate.

  • Episode 83 is one that is a little sentimental to me because as we’re wrapping up this season, it gave me a chance to have some of my earliest guests from the start of the show back on and it reminded me why they were some of my first calls in the early days.

    Our featured partners this week are Memphis Title Company and Black Tie Moving.

    Rachel Guthrie with McWaters & Associates has actually been on the show once before. In one of our first few months of recorded we attempted to do a quick 5-minute feature on up and coming agents and she was one that I profiled before she really had things going. In the two years since then, she worked her ass off and built and incredibly impressive practice and because of that, I had no choice but to bring her back on and see how her first two years in the business have gone.

    In our second segment we dove into a much needed conversation surrounding our current market conditions. It’s likely no surprise to anyone listening to this show that things have slowed down and I’ve had several guests on to talk about that. In this segment though, I spoke with Cassandra Bell-Warren with 4 Success Realty and Jessica Brown with Re/Max Experts and we talked about how to position your business gain market share in a slowing market and you won’t want to miss that convo.

  • Whether you’re on your way up and trying to change the game or someone with years in the business looking to take your business to the next level, this episode has a little bit of something for everyone.

    Our featured partners this week are Ruby Red Media and The Jason Woods Home Loan Team with Community Mortgage .

    Jonathan Nunez with Fast Track Realty is one of the more impressive young agents that I’ve had the pleasure of interviewing. There were never any handouts or easy roads for him to take and yet still he has managed to grind out an extraordinary start to his real estate career and his story is not like many that I’ve had the pleasure of hearing on this show.

    Staying in front of your sphere of influence in incredibly important at all times of the year, but it’s common for many agents to utilize some sort of holiday marketing strategy to do that and with that in mind I brought two of my dear friends onto the show in Rachel Jacques with Reid Realtors and Abby Cook with Keller Williams.

  • It’s Thanksgiving week and this episode is all about families.

    Our featured partners this week are Sophie Sandlin Raines with Community Mortgage and Memphis Title Company.

    Ashlyn Clark is a buyer’s agent on The Clark Team with Keller Williams. She’s just hitting two years in the business and she’s also already qualified for the prestigious Multi-Million Dollar Club for her second straight year as well. She’s been killing it in residential real estate while also attending college full time and she’s done all of this before she’s legally allowed to have a beer. She’s freakishly impressive and someone I’m proud to call a new friend.

    Real estate, more than a lot of other industries, has a ton of familial business models that have allowed some of the top producing teams in our city to work side by side with family members. In our second segment I rejoined by two of the people leading family teams the best in my friends Terri Porter with The Porter Group and Stacia Rosatti with Team Rosatti out of the Forest Hill office of Crye-Leike.

  • Episode 80 is one that captures some of the great strengths of the Memphis real estate community on this show because we are able to take a deep dive into the real estate journey of a legend in Memphis Real Estate and then bring two of the brightest minds in the city on to talk through a pressing issue that’s impacting many agents right now.

    Our features partners this week are Mid South Title and Black Tie Moving.

    Frances Anderson with Crye-Leike Southeast has been the top performing agent in her office for two decades now. She has a whole host of real estate accomplishments that you can stack against anyone in the industry, but she’s earned all of those accolades by running her business in a professional manner and striving to serve her clients well.

    In our second segment we dive into some of the challenges that several agents have seen with deals that have fallen apart and some of the things to make sure are cleaned up before putting that deal to bed. My friends Taylor Hewgley with Mid South Title and Bill Malone with Crye-Leike Quail Hollow are in the studio sharing their knowledge from decades of serving our city well.

  • Great conversations across the board on today’s episode as we chat with a rising star in the business and two men with families that have been shaping our city for decades.

    Our featured this week are The Jason Woods Home Loan Team with Community Mortgage and Mid South Title .

    Elizabeth Gant has been a realtor with Re/Max Experts for 5 years now and is really hitting her stride in the business. Initially starting out as an unlicensed assistant, she climbed the ranks after steadily putting in the work and this year she has already locked in her third consecutive year as a qualifier for the prestigious Multi-Million Dollar Club and shows no signs of stopping her ascent.

    The Vesta Home Show is open to the public starting Saturday November 12th through Sunday December 4th. As we are heading down the home stretch for the five builders participating in this year’s show, it made sense to have my friends David Clark with David Clark Construction and Jarod Wilder with The Longtown Company as they are two of the featured builders in this show and they gave us an awesome peek behind the curtain of all that goes into the special event.

  • Timing in life is everything. Things that could have seemed awful in the moment, are seen as massive blessings when viewed through the life further down your timeline. Other times timing that you thought felt perfect in the moment turns out to be just a month too late to allow you to feel the benefits of your decisions. In Episode 78 of KE901, we’ll dive into several conversations surrounding timing and how to make the most of circumstances when the timing is a little off.

    Our featured partners this week are Black Tie Moving and Ruby Red Media.

    Melissa Reed with BHHS McLemore & Company is a new friend in my life but someone who has steadily been building an impressive reputation for herself in the in the business over the course of her eight years in the career. She has leaned into her small town roots to build a sphere in the Memphis-area that has set her apart as one of the top agents within her impressive brokerage.

    Our second segment is one that was put together because of the number of conversations I’ve had over the last few weeks/months surrounding deals falling apart and homes having to go back on the market after previously being under contract. With that in mind, there aren’t two better seasoned agents that I could’ve brought on than my friends Maureen Fraser with John Green & Company and Rachel Baggett Gilliam with Crye-Leike Bartlett to discuss this topic.

  • The three women featured in Episode 77 reach the very highest rung of respect that I could have for anyone I’ve had the pleasure of meeting in this industry and I was incredibly grateful for the conversations we were able to have this week.

    Our featured partners this week are Sophie Sandlin Raines with Community Mortgage and Memphis Title Company.

    Meatha Tapley is a realtor associate at the Crye-Leike Quail Hollow office and a rockstar member of the Tyler Tapley Team. She moved to the Memphis area from Knoxville and got licensed 16 years ago without really having much of a network established in the region. Prior to marrying Tyler and forming one of the top performing teams in our area, she was a standout agent in N. Mississippi and one of everyone’s most beloved co-op agents. She’s one of my favorites in the industry and I’m glad we were able to have her on the show.

    Starting out as a new agent is one of the more challenging leaps to take under any market conditions, but even more so as we’re seeing a slight pull back from the thriving pace we’ve been operating at the last several years. With that in mind it was great to bring back some of my best friends in the industry in Sarah Layson with Keller Williams and Paige Holmes with Coldwell Banker Collins-Maury to discuss what they would do if they were starting their super star careers all over today.

  • Often times it is the experiences that we have in life that help shape us into the professionals that we will become and that could not have been modeled more perfectly that with my guests this week in Episode 76.

    Our featured partners this week are Mid South Title and Black Tie Moving .

    Melanie Blakeney with Marx-Bensdorf Realtors spent decades of her life working in real estate prior to becoming an agent, most notably serving at the CEO of the Memphis Area Association of Realtors. The results she’s been achieving in her four years as a realtor are nothing short of extraordinary, but so is her experience and it’s easy to see why clients are flocking to her professionalism and calming nature.

    Following in the footsteps of an incredibly accomplished parent is no easy feat for anyone, but Jon Dickens with The Firm and Sophie Sandlin Raines with Community Mortgage have made it look far easier than it actually has been. These two rock stars are performing at some of the very highest levels in our city on their own merits while managing the expectations that come from the family accomplishments. It was a truly enlightening conversation to hear about their journey, struggles, and triumphs along the way.

  • This one is one of my very favorite episodes that I’ve had the pleasure of bringing to you on KE901. All three of the women on this week’s episode are some of the most uniquely driven and freakishly impressive individuals that I’ve ever met in my life.

    Our featured partners this week are Ruby Red Media and The Jason Woods Home Loan Team with Community Mortgage.

    Itzel Sanchez with Keller Williams is one of my favorite people in the industry. There’s no façade or BS surrounding how she’s ranked as a top 20 Latino Realtor in the nation for each of the last three years. She just steadily puts in the work at a level greater than most and it’s all driven by the love she has for her clients and her desire to see their family’s wealth increased through real estate.

    My second segment is a topic that I was fired up to get into with my friends Amanda Lott with Crye-Leike Midtown and Kelly Jones with Community Mortgage. Work-life balance is something we could likely all do a little better job with and these two high performers shared some of the tips and thought processes they use to improve in that area.

    As always our show is powered by The Jason Woods Home Loan Team and Sophie Sandlin Raines who are two awesome loan officers with Community Mortgage.

    To connect with Itzel, she always asks that you just call her because that’s how she prefers to talk about real estate. Her direct number is 901-378-4334.

    To connect with Amanda….you should probably just text her at 901-461-9246 or email her at [email protected]

  • I really enjoy all three of our guests this week as individuals and having the pleasure of talking about their businesses in one episode is a treat for all of us as well. They are knowledgeable and well respected and I just always leave every interaction with them grateful for the time together.

    Our featured partners this week are Memphis Title Company and Black Tie Moving .

    Kaylee Oaks with Hometown Realty is someone who has run in similar circles as me for years, but we really never had the opportunity to connect much and I realize now that was certainly a missed opportunity on my part. She is just as charming and engaging in person as her reputation led me to believe and she’s built a business inside of her boutique family owned brokerage that’s incredibly respectable.

    I always enjoy segments on the show when we get to dive into a topic that I don’t get to hit on very often. I was thrilled to be able to bring Dustin Jones with Jones Aur Commercial Real Estate and Eric Fuhrman with Crye-Leike Commercial back on the show to give us a Commercial Update and these two pros did not disappoint.

  • On Episode 73 I was able to have two incredibly enjoyable conversations with three agents that are phenomenal at what they do.

    Our featured partners this week are Memphis Title Company and Black Tie Moving .

    Peterson Wellford is an affiliate broker with The Firm and a near lifelong Memphian aside from a few stretches in Tuscaloosa and Lexington for college. Previously he had worked full-time in the fitness industry but a year ago he took the leap into real estate and he’s been making waves ever since. His charm and charisma are contagious and it’s easy to see why he’s had such great success in an incredibly short time.

    Luxury real estate is one of the sexier topics to cover on our show because when you raise the price points higher, you typically get to see some pretty special properties as well. I was lucky enough to be rejoined by two of my friends that live in that space regularly in Josh Spotts with The Best Spotts and James Harvey Jr. with Keller Williams and it is a conversation you won’t want to miss.

  • We had a ton of fun on today’s episode with a range of different topics and it is just chocked full of things you can learn through both of our segments in this one.

    Our featured partners this week are Mid South Title and Sophie Sandlin Raines with Community Mortgage.

    Preston Williams has been an associate broker with Crye-Leike Bartlett almost 5 years now consistently ranking as one of the top performers within their office. Prior to real estate, he ran a marketing business and was eventually able to leverage those skills in content creation to be a priceless asset for his practice and a massive revenue generator at the same time.

    In our second segment we dove into some of the nuances that can come with being an agent that works in areas with older homes. I am joined by Lauren Harkins Wiuff with Ware Jones Realtors and Kathryn Garland with Garland Company Real Estate to discuss Advanced Homeownership that comes with owning a 100 year old house.

  • This week’s episode was just fun, plain and simple. I laughed a ton while we were recording them, I laughed again when editing the show together, it’s just a good time with three incredibly impressive realtors that I have the utmost respect for.

    Our featured partners this week are Black Tie Moving and Ruby Red Media

    Bubba Sandefer was employee #1 at Emmett Baird Realty and he feels a deep connection to that brokerage but also the path he took to land there. He is one of those people leaves an impression long after he’s left a conversation and 9 out of 10 times it’s overwhelmingly positive. Our conversation about his path in the business was great and something I’m sure you’ll enjoy hearing as well.

    There are many times in our careers when we can let comparison slip in and judge ourselves against some of our peers in the industry that may be killing it. The snapshot that we have of their lives is often not near as rosy when you’ve walked their walk though and with that in mind it was an honor to be rejoined by my friends Shannan McWaters from The Firm and Michael Jacques with Reid Realtors for a segment I titled “Failing Forward”.

    As always our show is powered by The Jason Woods Home Loan Team and Sophie Sandlin Raines who are two awesome loan officers with Community Mortgage.

    To connect with Bubba, you can call or text his cell at 901-319-0747.

    To connect with Shannan, social media is definitely the way to go by searching for @shannanmcwatersrealtor on your social media platform of choice.

    To connect with Michael, you can text or call him (but you better leave a voicemail) at 901-246-8916 or find him on social media @ReidRealtors

  • Old friends and a new friend on this week’s episode that is full of great stories and helpful information from three incredibly impressive gentlemen.

    Our featured partners this week are The Jason Woods Home Loan Team with Community Mortgage and Memphis Title Company.

    David Da Ponte-Cooper has been a realtor associate with Sowell Realtors for 21 years now and is one of the very top producing agents in the entire city. Until I started doing my research for this interview, I had no idea how successful he really is because he’s not very flashy with his marketing or incredibly visible for the world to see, but he puts in the work and is steadily referred by clients at an alarming rate.

    Jason Woods with Community Mortgage and Mark Miesse with Memphis Title rejoined the show in our second segment to discuss what to do when a deal falls apart. It’s never a fun situation to find yourself in but every agent with any significant tenure in the business has had it happen and Jason and Mark broke down some reasons why it happens, how to spot it coming in advance, and how to handle the situation when it the deal falls apart.

  • This week’s episode just felt incredibly easy on me as the host. All three of our guests this week are charming and engaging and full of tons of great information, and it allowed me to just do my best to get out of the way of immensely talented agents.

    Our featured partners this week are Mid South Title and Sophie Sandlin Raines with Community Mortgage.

    Marq Cobb is a partner and the managing broker of Myers Cobb Realtors. He’s almost 2 years into launching his own brokerage and they are certainly making waves and establishing an impressive brand in the industry. We talked about his path to real estate, his time spent in wholesaling real estate, and where he sees MCR growing in the years to come.

    To start of Season 2 we had Mike Parker with The Firm and Carol Lott with Crye-Leike Midtown on to discuss the state of the real estate market in Memphis. The response we received from that interview was awesome and now that we’re three months removed from it and still feeling some of the changes happening in our space, I figured it was an awesome time to bring them back in our second segment.

    Our featured partners this week are Ruby Red Media and Memphis Title Company

    Margaret Mikkelsen with Crye-Leike Germantown has fully leaned into being an expert on Mid-Century Modern architecture and tying her business to match sellers of quality homes with buyers who intend to maintain the architectural integrity of the home. She believes in good design regardless of the period, but is uniquely tied to MCM, ranch, and contemporary houses and she can make a pretty convincing case for the pink tile in your bathroom as well.

    Katie Shotts is the CEO of the Memphis Area Association of Realtors. She’s been a friend for several years but it was great to get to sit down and chat at length about her journey in the industry as well as some of the behind the scenes workings of a realtor association that not many members may know about.
