It's Season 6, Closers! Welcome back and happy new year to everyone still tuning into another year of the We Need Closure Podcast. In true new year fashion, hosts Heather and Kalyn have asked their favorite broker and business owner, Matt Lewis, to join them for an unofficial 'state of the union' on all things real estate. Matt joins us fresh off the Inman Connect Real Estate Conference in New York, giving us all the hot topics on how AI is playing a major role in how consumers will continue to search for homes, how agents need to adapt to partner with the incoming technology and even a local report of the Fort Worth market for 2025. Tune in to hear Matt's latest advice to those REALTORS and agents in the industry - new and old - in addition to his favorite type of real estate investments. As always, to our listeners near and abroad, thank you for listening!

Welcome to a very special episode of We Need Closure. Hosts Kalyn and Heather welcome the most VIP guests to date: their children. Partly because it's time, but partly because they had no child care this week. If you found last week's episode to be slightly chaotic, buckle up listener, because you're in for a real treat. Asking the tough, hard-hitting questions, Heather and Kalyn dig deep to identify how our children feel about our jobs, what they think we actually do for a living and what NAR actually stands for. If you are a true fan, and are able to make it to the end of the episode, enjoy some bloopers from a very charming 4 year old, Madeline, who, like her mother, is very comfortable in front of the microphone. Cheers!

For those of us in the real estate industry, we are all guilty of a few cliche marketing tricks now and then. Emailing our clients to set back their clocks for daylight savings time? Been there. Proudly posting a "SOLD" post minutes after the check hits your account? Done that. But how far have we come and where has the evolution of marketing, client retention and new business trends brought us to? Hosts Kalyn and Heather discuss the trends in an industry that is not only evolving but upping the game in the world of social media, event strategy, gift giving and providing an overall experience for our best clients. Of course, the personal stories will keep laughing as Heather recaps a failed client appreciation party, Kalyn admits to having a full blown identify crisis in the world of real estate and more.
