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. 

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.

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.
