If you feel like you are doing solid work but nobody knows it, the problem is not your hustle, it is your visibility and your credibility. Mark Jones sits down with Jason Smith, publisher of San Antonio Real Producers, to talk about what actually moves the needle in real estate and small business growth when social media gets loud and trust gets scarce.
We get into why print marketing is still effective when ...
Your pipeline can look “busy” and still be broken. The real problem usually shows up in two places: the first phone conversation and the moment you sit down face to face and ask someone to trust you with a sale. I sit down with Christopher Waters, CEO of Waters International Realty and the builder behind Tables OS and RealSync, to talk about what actually moves the needle for real estate agents and team ...
Mark Jones of Real Estate AF sits down with industry veterans Patrick Conway and Adam Hughes to reveal the secrets to building a profitable, sustainable career in any market. They cover the power of coaching, focusing on high-value "green time" activities, and implementing simple systems like the "15 & 1" daily goal to create a referral-based business that lasts. Learn to stop being busy and start being profitab...
Your business can’t outgrow your habits, and this conversation proves it the hard way. I sit down with Yetzak Pearson, a Texas real estate broker whose path to success starts in a place most people can’t imagine: an off-grid childhood inside a religious cult, years of family labor, and then a rough “normal life” that included partying, arrests, and a rock-bottom wake-up call. What changes eve...

A $300 fish dies on the drive home, a store owner throws out a challenge, and a new San Antonio small business is born. That’s just one of the stories Ronil Harwood brings as we reconnect on Real Estate AF. Ronil is a Keller Williams real estate professional with a background in aviation and the co-owner of CHARE Aquatics, and his journey is a masterclass in what happens when you refuse to stay comfortable.
Who’s still standing in the mortgage and real estate industry? Why… This video emphasizes the power of daily "self improvement" and taking "one small step" towards your goals. It highlights the importance of consistent "motivation" and developing a strong "mindset" for "personal growth", especially for an "entrepreneur" aiming for "success habits" in a dynamic market.

In this episode of RealEstateAF, Mark Jones sits down with Blake Butry of Churchill USA for a conversation that goes way deeper than roofing, sales, or business tactics.
This episode is about what really drives great leadership: authenticity, trust, culture, service, failing forward, and having the courage to build people instead of just building revenue.
Blake shares his path from retail, ministry, an...
What if your next breakthrough isn’t a giant leap, but a mile before sunrise and one honest conversation about money and fear? We sit down with Vanessa, a San Antonio agent who turned a decade in multifamily into a resilient, people-first real estate business—and a healthier life along the way. From a childhood marked by financial hardship to a career reset after a team non-compete, her story shows how s...
Swapping first-time homebuyer journeys with San Antonio Realtors Matt Reyna and Zach Enriquez—what we believed going in, what surprised us, what almost derailed the process, and what we’d do differently today.
Most people think buying your first home is a math decision. In real life it’s emotional, messy, and full of bad advice from friends, family, and social media. In this episode we break...

The content appears to be a podcast episode, as indicated by the microphones and studio setting. Several individuals are shown, with one prominently speaking into a microphone throughout the clips. This conversation provides valuable insig...
Most agents don’t fail because they lack talent.
They fail because talent without structure, accountability, and coaching eventually collapses.
In this episode of Real Estate AF, host Mark Jones sits down with Art Fernandez, a 29-year real estate veteran and founder of Bear Coaching, to break down why coaching is the real separator between agents who survive market shifts and those who burn out when ...
A half point can change behavior, but real affordability is still a math problem. We dig into the noise and the numbers around two big headlines: a $200B directive for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to buy mortgage‑backed securities, and a move to limit large institutional buyers from competing for single‑family homes. With mortgage pro John Hudson and investor‑broker Colin Corrington, we unpack what might actually move...

Ever feel like the housing market is a maze with moving walls? We brought together a 20-year realtor who treats every purchase like an investment and a lender who rebuilt his playbook around non-QM lending to show exactly how buyers, sellers, and investors can win right now. No fluff—just the strategies that still close in a high-rate, low-fit inventory environment.
We break down the real dynamics behin...
Real estate success isn’t built on trends or predictions—it’s built on judgment, discipline, and relationships that compound over time. In this episode of Real EstateAF (And Finance), we sit down with Kimberly Howell, San Antonio native, veteran real estate broker, relocation expert, and long-time industry leader, to break down what 40+ years in real estate reveals about the next market cycle.

You can’t fake perspective. It’s earned in the lows that most people won’t talk about: childhood chaos, addiction, grief that knocks the air from your lungs, and careers capped by glass ceilings. We sat down as owners and team leads to tell the truth about how those lows forged our leadership, sharpened our empathy, and set the tone for how we build brokerages that actually serve people.
We ...
What if the real estate edge isn’t more screens—but fewer? We sit down with a split panel—two cautious advocates and two skeptics—to unpack how AI is already transforming real estate and mortgage lending, where it speeds up the boring parts and where it threatens the human moments that matter most. The conversation is candid and specific: lead gen bots that qualify after hours, instant conten...
What if your best business partner is also your spouse—and your toughest boss? We share how two teachers packed a U-Haul, chased a bigger life in Texas, and transformed a side hustle into a top-producing real estate brokerage without losing the plot at home. The path wasn’t linear: a 2008 licensing sprint, early Zillow experiments, a move to San Antonio with a small sphere, and mentors who cared as much ...
