Episode 15-Listing Agent Red Flags: What Sellers Need to Watch For
Not every listing agent is the right agent for your property. In this episode of Keeping It Real…Estate!, Kevin and Rebecca discuss the biggest red flags sellers should watch for when choosing a Realtor—from unrealistic pricing promises and poor communication to weak marketing and disappearing once the home is under contract.
We also explain why the agent who suggests the highest listing price isn’t necessarily the agent who will put the most money in your pocket.
Why are people waiting longer than ever to buy homes?
In this episode of Keeping It Real…Estate!, Kevin & Rebecca discuss rising homebuyer ages, historical mortgage interest rates, the disappearance of the starter home, and how social media & HGTV have changed buyer expectations.
They also talk about:
• Why today’s mortgage rates aren’t historically unusual
• Why many younger buyers feel homeownership is unattainable
• The pressure to skip the starter home phase
• Arkansas cost of living and housing affordability
• Why Arkansas is still one of the most affordable places to live in America
This is a real conversation about today’s housing market, affordability, and the realities buyers are facing in 2026.

Episode #11 Recording from the Duck Blind
In Episode #11 of Keeping It Real…Estate!, we recorded this episode from an undisclosed location in Arkansas County — aka my duck blind.
Recorded during duck season in Stuttgart, Arkansas, the Duck Capital of the World, this episode blends real estate, life, business, and real conversations straight from the blind. No office, no suits, just real talk in a very Arkansas setting.
In a business where disclosure is everything, some things are better left undisclosed — especially during duck season.
