CONGRATULATIONS! We’re millennials. That means EVERYTHING about being alive is expensive. And the boomers have so generously gifted us with least affordable housing in the history of the world along with: - Inflation. - Student loan debt. - Expensive medical insurance that doesn’t cover our therapy bills. - Randall Cunningham (to which we are very grateful. Go birds.) And likely very vague wills leaving us to pay for them well after they’re gone. Don’t worry. Seth and Jenn can help. We’re Philly-based millennials and top-producing realtors. Ok—admittedly Seth's a borderline GenX'er—but he was in the trenches of dial-up internet with us. And he’s really good at getting down payment assistance money from parents who we didn’t think would be giving down payment assistance, so we'll let it slide. We’re here to call BS on all the myths and bad real estate advice floating around like what you just heard from the 22-year-old TikTok investment guru who stops your scroll for way longer than

Is Now a Bad Time to Buy a House? Mortgage Rates & Inflation Explained
Mortgage Rates Are Back at 7% — Here’s What It Means for Buyers, Homeowners & RentersMortgage rates are back around 7%, and they may not come down as soon as you think. In this episode of Moving Sucks, Seth explains how we got here, why the Fed alone can’t fix it, and what smart buyers should be doing right now.You’ll learn the real relationship between the Federal Reserve, the 10-year Treasury, and the mortgage rate you’ll actually be quoted. Seth also explains how global oil and diesel supply problems are pushing inflation higher, why new Fed Chair Kevin Warsh may not deliver the rate cuts many expected, and what the upcoming midterms could mean for rates.Most importantly, he covers what to do about it:🏠 Should you still buy a house with rates around 7%?📈 Why inflation will keep pushing rents higher🔒 How owning locks in your housing costs while renting stays unpredictable💰 Why you should focus on your monthly payment, not just the rate⚠️ Why anyone with a HELOC or variable-rate debt should be paying attention📅 When rates might realistically start coming downHigh rates don’t mean you should give up on homeownership. It just has to be the right move. Skip the headlines and online calculators.

eXp vs Real Brokerage: The Math Anthony Keane Ran | Make Your Own Key Ep.9
Anthony Keane got into real estate because a Rita's Water Ice franchise fell through. Twenty-plus years, a full-time bank job, a 70-agent boutique brokerage he helped build, and three brokerage moves later, he's still selling — and he thinks the industry should triple its licensing fees. In this conversation with Seth, Anthony (Real Brokerage, Harleysville PA) breaks down the eXp-to-Real math nobody talks about, what actually killed brick-and-mortar brokerage relevance, why Zillow Flex earns its 40% cut, and what advice he'd give a brand-new agent trying to figure out where to hang their license in 2026.What You'll LearnThe specific eXp-vs-Real math that drove Anthony's June 2024 move — caps, rev share, and the 2.3x agent-attraction difference nobody's calculated for you. Why 95% of home sales now start online and what that means for how you actually build a business. Anthony's contrarian take on licensing fees — and why raising them would help the consumer, not hurt them. The Pomodoro workday framework that lets him out-produce agents who work twice as long.Episode Breakdown1:21 — Intro2:04 — Meet Anthony Keane (and the 18-offer deal he and Seth did back in 2019)4:23 — 2004: how a shut-down Rita's Water Ice franchise became a real estate career4:43 — Buying his first flip three months into marriage, doing 85% of the work himself5:08 — The full-time Bank of NY Mellon job that ran alongside all of it5:38 — Coldwell Banker to Entourage: building a 70-agent, 3-office boutique brokerage6:28 — When COVID cost him his VP role at Entourage7:16 — The math that drove the eXp-to-Real move: caps, rev share, and 2.3x agents8:42 — The Pomodoro Technique that runs Anthony's whole workday11:39 — Why Philly Real still has 9 offices even though we're "cloud-based"15:48 — Why eXp's tech felt scattered vs. Real's all-in-one platform18:50 — What actually changed after the NAR lawsuit (spoiler: nothing)19:30 — "20% of agents do 80% of the work" — the part-time agent problem20:37 — Anthony's hot take: triple or quadruple the licensing fees23:45 — Why Zillow Flex's 40% cut is actually justified26:32 — "The consumer is buying you, not the sign on the door"31:37 — Anthony's advice for brand-new agents trying to pick a brokerage in 202633:19 — Do boutique real estate brokerages still have a role?36:08 — Wrap-upWhy This Episode MattersVery few agents have owned both sides of the brokerage table. Anthony was VP of Operations at Entourage — a 70-agent boutique brokerage — before he became a top producer inside a cloud-based model. That range shows up in every part of this conversation. Whether you're weighing eXp vs. Real, wondering if a boutique brokerage still makes sense, or trying to figure out how a small-town flipper turns into a 20-year career operator, this one has the receipts.Resources MentionedReal Brokerage — Anthony's home since June 2024eXp Realty — Anthony's brokerage from 2020 until June 2024Entourage Elite Real Estate — the 70-agent, 3-office boutique where Anthony was VP of OperationsColdwell Banker — Anthony's first brokerage after getting licensed in 2012Bank of New York Mellon — where Anthony was Senior Manager running a 120-agent financial services call centerThe Pomodoro Technique — Anthony's workday operating system (four 25-minute hyperfocus blocks per day)Regus / Office Evolution — flex office spaces Anthony and Seth use for client meetingsZillow Flex — discussed as a fair-cost lead sourceRE/MAX "Bouge" CRM — cited as a case study in brokerage tech failure👇 Are you an agent who wants to actually talk shop?Seth takes a few open conversations a month with agents thinking about their next move — whether that's joining a team, switching brokerages, exploring Real Broker, or stress-testing the math on their current setup.

Ep. 113 | Why I Walked Away From a $60K Real Estate Commission
Are you hiring the wrong real estate agent simply because they said "yes" to everything?What if the best agent for your home is the one willing to walk away?In this episode of Moving Sucks, Seth and Jenn dive into one of the biggest decisions a seller can make—and why honesty can be worth far more than a commission check. Seth shares the story behind turning down nearly $60,000 in potential commissions on a $3 million luxury listing, explaining why saying "no" was the right move for both him and the client.Instead of chasing a payday, Seth reveals the importance of knowing your niche, understanding your strengths, and putting the client's success ahead of your own. You'll also learn how to spot agents who overpromise, why luxury homes require a different strategy, and what questions every seller should ask before hiring a Realtor.Episode Breakdown:00:00 – Why I Turned Down $60,00000:55 – Welcome Back to Moving Sucks01:59 – The $3 Million Listing Opportunity03:43 – Why I Walked Away04:45 – The Conversation With the Seller07:15 – Honest Advice That Changed Everything07:49 – Helping Find the Right Luxury Broker09:19 – Why Knowing Your Niche Matters10:33 – How to Hire the Right Real Estate Agent13:10 – Setting Boundaries With Clients14:25 – Final Thoughts & SubscribeIf you've ever wondered how to choose the right real estate agent—or why the best professionals sometimes turn down business—then this episode is for you.Connect with us 👇Check out the Seth Lejeune Group - https://the-seth-lejeune-group-schwenksville-pa.remax.com/Check out our website:👉 https://asksethanything.com/Follow us on Instagram:👉 https://www.instagram.com/asksethanything/👉 https://www.instagram.com/januskygetsitdone/

Ep. 112 | Social Media Is NOT Getting You Clients? The Truth Agents Avoid
Are you feeling like you have to choose between building your real estate business and keeping up with social media… and wondering if either one is actually working?Seth and Jenn are back together on the Moving Sucks Podcast—and this episode hits hard on what’s real versus what’s just noise in today’s real estate world.After stepping away from the mic and dialing back her online presence, Jenn opens up about what really drove that decision: juggling full-time real estate, parenting, and the realization that content creation and closing deals can feel like two completely different careers. This isn’t about balance—it’s about priorities.The conversation dives into a bold take on today’s market headlines. Is the market actually slowing… or is that just the narrative being pushed? Jenn shares her perspective from the front lines, where transactions are still happening despite higher interest rates and constant uncertainty talk.Seth and Jenn also challenge one of the biggest assumptions in the industry:Does social media really bring in business—or is it just a credibility tool?They break down why many top-producing agents barely post online, why referrals still dominate, and how too many agents may be focusing on the wrong things. There’s also a sharp critique of “social media coaching culture” and a strong reminder that mastering contracts and fundamentals is what actually builds a sustainable career.And then there’s AI—where they both agree the future is heading. Unlike social media, AI might not just market your business… it might actually improve how you serve your clients.They also unpack the rollercoaster of interest rates (including that brief dip into the 5s) and why perception and fear may be driving decisions more than the numbers themselves.Episode Breakdown:00:00 Jenn Returns03:10 Why She Went Quiet05:09 Addition By Subtraction07:29 Does Social Media Work13:38 Serious Work Vs Gimmicks20:30 AI Over Social Media24:32 Rates And Market Fear27:40 Watch These Movies30:59 Listener Questions WrapIf you’re trying to figure out where to actually spend your time, energy, and focus in real estate right now… then this episode is for you.👇 Connect with us:👉 https://www.instagram.com/movingsuckspodcast/👉 https://www.tiktok.com/@millenniup👉 https://www.instagram.com/asksethanything/👉 https://www.instagram.com/januskygetsitdone/Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@MovingSucksPodcast

Ep. 111 | This Deadline Practice Is Destroying Your Offers
Are you rushing into real estate decisions just because of a deadline… and wondering if it’s actually costing you money?In this episode, Seth and Jenn break down one of the most common—but rarely questioned—practices in real estate: Sunday night offer deadlines. While they’re meant to create structure in competitive situations, are they actually doing more harm than good?Seth dives deep into the mechanics behind offer deadlines and reveals how poor timing can pressure buyers into emotional decisions, limit access to key advisors like lenders, and ultimately lead to weaker offers—or worse, deals that fall apart after “one sleep.”But it’s not just buyers who lose. Sellers may unknowingly leave better terms on the table, and agents? They’re stuck working chaotic Sunday nights only to revisit everything again on Monday.You’ll also hear a bold take on open houses—why they may be outdated, how they’re often used to attract unrepresented buyers, and when (if ever) they actually make sense in today’s market.This episode challenges the “this is how it’s always been done” mindset—and offers a smarter, more strategic approach that benefits everyone involved.⏱️ Episode Breakdown00:00 Real Estate Mechanics Intro01:40 Why Offer Deadlines Exist03:01 The Sunday Night Problem06:09 Buyer Stress And Psychology11:19 Seller Risks And Better Terms15:01 Make Monday The Deadline15:59 Agent Workflow And Sanity18:15 Open Houses Critique23:03 Wrap Up And Takeaways👉 If you’ve ever felt pressured by a deadline, questioned the process, or want to make better real estate decisions… this episode is for you.👇 Connect with us:👉 https://www.instagram.com/movingsuckspodcast/👉 https://www.tiktok.com/@millenniup👉 https://www.instagram.com/asksethanything/👉 https://www.instagram.com/januskygetsitdone/Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@MovingSucksPodcast

Ep. 10 | Why Sellers Can't Escape Commission (Even After NAR)
Are you wondering if the massive National Association of Realtors settlement actually changed anything in real estate… or was it all just hype?A year and a half later, Seth is pulling back the curtain—and what he’s seeing might completely change how you think about buying or selling a home.In this episode of Moving Sucks, Seth dives into the aftermath of the widely publicized NAR settlement that was supposed to disrupt how commissions work in real estate. From lawsuits to “industry shakeups,” the headlines made it seem like everything was about to change.But on the ground? It’s a very different story.Seth breaks down what the ruling actually required, why sellers are still covering buyer agent commissions in most cases, and how real-world consumer behavior has largely ignored the expected shift. He also explores why buyer representation still plays a critical role, the hidden dangers of dual agency, and what happens when sellers try to go against the grain.You’ll also hear how the U.S. system compares to countries like Australia—and why our approach may actually create a more level playing field for buyers.This episode cuts through the noise with a clear, honest look at what’s really happening in real estate right now—and what it means for you.⏱️ Episode Breakdown0:00 — What is the NAR settlement?1:30 — Welcome & episode intro3:00 — The update: nothing has changed4:30 — Sellers are still paying buyer commissions6:00 — How other countries handle real estate (Australia)8:00 — Background on the federal lawsuit9:30 — Buyer agency agreements explained11:00 — Why this is actually good for consumers13:00 — The economics of commission and affordability15:00 — What happens when sellers refuse to pay16:30 — The importance of buyer representation👉 If you’re buying, selling, or just trying to understand how commissions really work today… this is an episode you don’t want to miss.If yes, then this episode is for you.👇 Connect with us:👉 https://www.instagram.com/movingsuckspodcast/👉 https://www.tiktok.com/@millenniup👉 https://www.instagram.com/asksethanything/👉 https://www.instagram.com/januskygetsitdone/Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@MovingSucksPodcast

Ep. 109 | How the Iran Conflict Is Quietly Raising Your Interest Rates
Are you confused about why mortgage rates suddenly jumped—and what a conflict across the world has to do with your buying or refinancing plans? Are you wondering if you should pause or push forward right now?In this episode, Seth breaks down how rising tensions in the Middle East—specifically disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz—are shaking global oil supply and driving inflation higher. As oil prices moved up, mortgage rates quickly followed, jumping about half a point in just days and putting many refinances on hold.Seth also shares practical advice for navigating the uncertainty, encouraging buyers and refinance clients to stay proactive instead of waiting on perfect timing. He explains what could happen next and how shifting global conditions may impact rates moving forward.Episode Breakdown:00:00 Getting Political Today00:45 Show Intro and Context01:15 What Sparked the Conflict02:18 Why the Strait Matters04:39 Oil Shock Hits Rates06:18 Stalemate and Endgame07:05 Refis Put on Hold12:49 Advice for Buyers14:14 Where Rates Go Next15:18 Wrap Up and CalloutsIf you’re trying to decide whether to refinance, buy now, or wait things out in this volatile market—this episode will help you think through your next move.If yes, then this episode is for you.👇 Connect with us:👉 https://www.instagram.com/movingsuckspodcast/👉 https://www.tiktok.com/@millenniup👉 https://www.instagram.com/asksethanything/👉 https://www.instagram.com/januskygetsitdone/Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@MovingSucksPodcast
