Episode 25: How Successful Agents Build Long-Term Freedom
In this episode of Realty Resilience, host Dave Nations reconnects with longtime coach, mentor, and real estate leader Cari Briner for a conversation that goes deeper than the day to day of selling homes. Cari brings twenty five years of industry experience and a nationwide perspective on why so many agents feel stuck in the cycle of selling the next house just to pay the next bill.
She and Dave talk through the mindset shift agents need if they want to build something long lasting. Cari breaks down what it really means to operate like a business owner rather than a salesperson, why confidence starts with understanding your MLS every single day, and how to show up as the expert even when the conversations get uncomfortable. She shares practical ways agents can set expectations, lead their clients, and navigate a shifting market with more clarity and less stress.
They also explore team building, leverage, and what the industry often gets wrong about growth. Cari opens up about the personal event that completely reshaped how she and her husband structured their business, the unexpected benefit of selling their team before crisis hit, and why every agent needs a real plan for what happens if they can’t work for a while. From shared resources to co working spaces to building income that doesn’t rely on the next transaction, she lays out what sustainable entrepreneurship really looks like.
Tips from Today:
• Study your MLS daily to build confidence and spot market patterns
• Honest expectations create better client partnerships and stronger deals
• Build relationships with experienced agents who can step in when needed
• Explore additional income streams so your stability isn’t tied to each transaction
• Think like a business owner to create long term financial freedom
