E8: "Be Kind, Follow the Rules, and Don't Pull the Sign Early"

In this episode of Waking Up to Win, hosts Annie Callaway and Chad Elledge bring their signature mix of humor, honesty, and real estate wisdom to another week of chaos, closings, and lessons learned the hard way.

From weather woes and wedding weekends to unpacked boxes and hilarious sayings passed down from Grandma Gladys, this conversation proves that life, and business, are all about learning to let go and laugh through it.

The hosts dive into an outrageous real estate story involving a buyer’s agent gone rogue, a premature walkthrough, and a “contractor cameo” before the deal was even funded. Along the way, they share key takeaways every Realtor needs to remember: don’t be an ass, be kind, follow the rules, and for heaven’s sake, never pull the yard sign before funding clears.

As always, the duo blends humor and hard-earned lessons, weaving in the week’s biggest real estate headlines, from falling mortgage rates and rising inventory to the latest NAR reform discussions and the importance of pricing homes correctly in a changing market.

You’ll also hear their unfiltered thoughts on professionalism, lazy agents, and why soft skills like kindness and patience can make or break your business in 2025.

Tune in for the laughs, stay for the lessons, and walk away ready to sell smarter, lead better, and keep waking up to win.
