Thursday’s Virtual Coffee Mastermind:

Grab your mug and settle in because this Thursday, we’re cutting through the noise with Jason Bible, a seasoned investor who’s raised and deployed tens of millions across residential, commercial, and storage projects throughout Texas and the Gulf Coast.

Jason’s bringing a straight-talk session on what’s really happening in today’s market; how lending is shifting, how smart investors are adapting to higher rates, and why right now might just be the best time in years to scoop up assets at a discount. Expect zero fluff, real numbers, and practical strategies you can use to find, fund, and close profitable deals in any market cycle.

Win With 🌎GLOBAL🌎 Referrals

What if becoming known worldwide as a Realtor was easier than you think?

Most agents assume “going global” means flying overseas, learning multiple languages, or chasing luxury listings abroad. The truth is, your path to global recognition starts right where you are - with the right visibility, credibility, and connections.

You don’t need a passport to become a global Realtor. You just need the right strategy - and we’ll show it to you in this one powerful session on October 9th.

Most agents are paying way too much trying to get their deals and listings seen. The truth? You don’t have to spend a fortune to get leads. This is the exact playbook being used right now to fill deals faster, move listings quicker, and beat the competition… while everyone else is still wasting money on ads. Join us October 20th

The Realtor’s Local Fame Fast Track

The fastest way to become the most known agent in your market and create an income stream beyond closings. If you feel like you're doing everything right; posting, prospecting, even paying for ads, but people in your own community still don't know your name… this free training is for you.

Why This Is So Powerful: Events make people feel something.
And when you’re the one who brings people together, you become unforgettable. You’re no longer “one of many” agents.

TODAY’S FEATURE:

The Hidden Deals in a High-Rate Market

Every fall, the same thing happens: agents swap open houses for pumpkin patches, and buyers decide to “wait until spring.” But those who stay active through the cooler months have a serious edge.

🍁 The Great Slowdown Myth

When headlines scream “market cooling,” what they really mean is “less competition.” While others are slowing down, opportunity is heating up for those willing to keep working. Sellers with stale listings are suddenly open to creative solutions, and motivated buyers get to breathe without bidding wars.

🕵️‍♀️ The Realtor’s New Edge

This market rewards skill, not luck. Agents who know how to uncover opportunities, expired listings, tired landlords, builders with standing inventory, or homeowners holding adjustable-rate mortgages, can make serious moves before everyone else wakes up in March.

💡 How to Spot the Hidden Deals

• Check MLS for listings that have been sitting for 60+ days.

• Connect with landlords ready to cash out after rent fatigue.

• Partner with lenders who can structure assumable or buydown options.

• Keep tabs on new-construction communities offering end-of-year incentives.

🤝 Be the Connector

Your job isn’t just to sell houses, it’s to solve problems. Pair hesitant buyers with motivated sellers. Use creative financing conversations to open doors others walk past. This is when your expertise is worth more than your marketing budget.

Bottom line: don’t hibernate when the market cools. This is the season when relationships deepen, pipelines grow, and the groundwork for next spring’s success is laid.

💬 Scripts for the Week

Talking to Buyers:

“I totally get that interest rates feel high right now, but guess what’s even higher? Buyer competition during spring season. Let’s use this quieter market to find a great deal and then refinance later when rates settle.”

Talking to Sellers:

“Yes, it’s fall, but serious buyers are still out there, and fewer listings mean your home stands out more. Let’s position you to capture the motivated buyers who want to close before year-end.”

🎨 Canva Post Ideas

1. “🍂 Fall may be cooling down, but deals are heating up!”

2. “Smart buyers shop when others stop.”

3. “High rates? Lower competition. Let’s talk strategy.”

4. “The best time to buy might just be when everyone else waits.”

5. “Real estate hibernation? Not in my business.”

💡 Pro tip: Use warm, cozy fall colors with your brand palette: think coffee cups, leaves, and sold signs in sweaters.

🏁 Final Takeaway

As the market cools and the holidays creep in, remember: the pros don’t panic, they pivot.
This is your chance to show clients that opportunity never disappears; it just hides behind fear, hesitation, and headlines.

Find the gaps. Nurture the leads. Keep your coffee hot and your mindset sharper than ever. The hidden deals are out there… waiting for the agent who doesn’t hit snooze this season.

One request - if you’ve learned something from our newsletter or joining us at our Virtual Coffees and other events, please forward this to another agent that you think would also enjoy becoming a part of our circle to create IMPACT in their business!

We’re looking forward to seeing you tomorrow morning!

Happy Networking,

Debbie Mauro
