71% of Agents Aren’t Closing Deals—How to Be in the Top 29%

With market uncertainty, commission shakeups, and lead-gen costs rising, many agents are frozen—but not the best ones. In this episode, NextHome Co-CEOs James Dwiggins and Keith Robinson get real about what agents MUST do to survive and thrive in today’s chaotic market.

🚨 Key Takeaways:

• Why “stay ready” is the mantra for 2025—and how to know when it’s go time
• The real reason agents don’t call their sphere (hint: emotional IQ + rejection)
• Why the lead-gen model is broken and most online leads are worthless
• How to fix your brokerage model by choosing high-touch service or high-volume scale
