The membership platform for real estate agents who want content, strategy, and a community that actually gets it. If your real estate content is starting to feel like everyone else’s, this episode is your wake up call. Because the truth is, most agents are not struggling because they “aren’t posting enough.” They’re struggling because their content has no personality, no perspective, and no reason for someone to remember them. In this episode, I’m sitting down with Haley Ingram, CEO and Founder of Coffee & Contracts [https://coffeecontracts.com/], Eric Simon, Co-Founder of Broke Agent Media [https://nowbam.com/], and Jason Cassity, Chief Growth Officer at Real Broker [https://onereal.com/], for a real conversation about what’s actually working on social media right now and why so many agents are blending into the noise. We’re talking AI overwhelm, content that feels forced, the pressure to “keep up,” and the subtle shifts that make people actually stop scrolling and pay attention to you. This episode feels less like a strategy session and more like sitting in on the conversation every agent wishes they could have behind closed doors. If you want your content to feel more natural, more you, and way more memorable without overthinking every post, hit play now because there’s a good chance you’re making this harder than it needs to be. 01:25 – Why Most Agents Feel Behind on AI Even When They Use It Every Day 03:20 – How Using AI for Local Guides and Roleplay Actually Saves You Time 09:22 – Why Raw, Off-the-Cuff Videos Outperform Polished Templates on Social 13:06 – The Real Reason Content with Fast Hooks and Personal Stories Connects 16:54 – How Documenting Your Real Life Makes Content Instantly Stand Out 20:12 – Why Blending Personality with Business Posts Builds Real Trust Online 30:20 – Membership for Real Estate Agents: [https://above-asking.captivate.fm/coffeeandcontractsep14] Coffee & Contracts Content Templates, Marketing Tools, and Community EPISODE LINKS: Connect with Jason: Website [https://onereal.com/] | Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/jason_cassity/] Connect with Eric: Website [https://nowbam.com/author/infothebrokeagent-com/] | Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/nowbam] Connect with Haley: Website [https://coffeecontracts.com/] | Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/coffeecontracts/] 🎥 Watch the podcast on YouTube: https://youtu.be/G2ylCQBynQo [https://youtu.be/G2ylCQBynQo] 💌 Subscribe to the official newsletter for Above Asking Podcast, The Hot Sheet: https://above-asking.captivate.fm/hot-sheet [https://above-asking.captivate.fm/hot-sheet] COME HANG OUT WITH ME: ❤️ Follow Above Asking: @aboveaskingpodcast [https://www.instagram.com/aboveaskingpodcast/] ❤️ Let's be Instagram friends: @thealyssastalker [https://www.instagram.com/thealyssastalker/] 💭 Got any questions?
