A MESSAGE FROM LIBERTAS

By Tim & Julie Harris · January 8, 2026

⛅ Good morning, {{first_name|real estate agents}}! Alright, stop complaining about the market.

The economy doesn’t care about your feelings.

The real question isn’t “Is the market good?”
The question is: Are you good enough for the market?

As we head into 2026, the rules of engagement have fundamentally changed. High-ish interest rates are here to stay, inventory will remain tight in most markets, and buyer demand will be concentrated entirely on the best-priced, best-presented listings.

Listen as Tim and Julie deliver a no-nonsense 2026 real estate reality check—and explain exactly what smart agents must do right now to win. 👇

This is not a market for the faint of heart.
But for disciplined agents using the right systems, this may be the most profitable market of the past decade.

Below are the three non-negotiable real estate predictions—and the mandatory actions you must take now to guarantee success.

The Reality:
There will be no “average” home sale. Homes will either sell in 7 days over asking, or sit 90 days with multiple price drops.

The Fix: Demand perfection.

Sloppy listings are done. The sellers who win are the ones who present a move-in-ready product. Your role is no longer just advisor—you are the Chief Standards Officer.

The Harris Mandate:
Stop taking every listing offered to you. Become the agent of choice who requires professional staging, photography, and pre-inspection. If a seller won’t meet the standard required to win the price, don’t take the listing.

Protect your Listing Presentation Win Rate.

The Reality:
Any agent whose primary value is opening doors or filling out forms will be replaced. AI can produce CMAs faster, manage scheduling better, and write stronger property descriptions.

The Fix: Master the human edge.

Your value is no longer transactional—it’s emotional risk management and non-linear negotiation. AI can’t calm a panicked seller or rescue a deal after a major inspection issue.

The Harris Mandate:
As taught in Harris Rules, your value must be anchored in indispensable skills. Drill objection handlers. Practice saving deals on the brink. Your commission is paid for the problems you solve, not the paperwork you process.

The Reality:
Paid lead generation will continue to get more expensive, more competitive, and less reliable. Chasing cold leads is an expense. Nurturing relationships is an investment.

The Fix: Implement the 36-Touch System.

Predictable real estate income comes from making your Sphere of Influence (SOI) your primary lead source—through consistent, value-driven communication.

The Harris Mandate:
Stop hoping for referrals and start earning them. Your daily schedule must include executing the 36-touch follow-up system using value-based communication (not sales pitches), such as the Annual Equity Check-Up Script.

This is the only path to hitting the mandatory 50% SOI benchmark.

The 2026 market isn’t broken—it’s demanding that agents finally become professional business owners.

Stop waiting for the market to change.
Change your approach.

Adopt disciplined systems that work in any interest-rate environment.

Share this issue.

You are implementing the systems and tracking the metrics (like we teach in the book, Harris Rules). Now you need a brokerage partner that is built for maximum leverage and accountability.

Stop letting outdated brokers skim your commission and slow your growth.

If you’re ready to make 2026 your breakthrough year—by finally getting the systems, coaching, and commission split you deserve—it’s time to partner directly with Tim and Julie Harris at EXP Realty.

This is your mandatory next step to becoming a Millionaire Real Estate Agent.
