"Without leads, there is no business, period. You can be doing everything else, but there is no real estate business without leads." — Michael Oliveira
When markets shift, one truth remains: the smartest move is often to double down on the basics.
In this new episode of The Real Estate Mailbag, we sit down with three top professionals—Michael Oliveira and Jenilee Anthony of Compass Real Estate, and Martin Kozicki, co-founder of MyRealtyHelper. Each brings a unique approach, yet all are defined by one thing: flawless execution of the fundamentals.
Together, they unpack what "the basics" really mean in today's market—from building authentic client relationships to staying top of mind in a crowded industry. You'll hear stories of how they got started, common mistakes new agents make, and the strategies that have fueled their success.
They also weigh in on recent industry headlines, share tips on staying informed, and tackle a listener's mailbag question: should new agents work from home or in the office?
Whether you're just starting out, running a thriving practice, or simply looking to reclaim some quality of life as a real estate professional (pro tip: if you haven't hired a transaction coordinator yet, it's time!), this episode is packed with practical wisdom you won't want to miss.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
