If you’re posting consistently and still getting crickets, this episode is for you. Instagram isn’t broken—but the way most people are using it is. In this Coffee with Carrie episode, I break down why visibility has changed, why video is no longer optional, and what you need to do differently if you want leads instead of likes heading into 2026. This is a real-talk episode for anyone tired of guessing and ready to show up where it actually counts.

Thinking about quitting real estate? Before you hang your license, hit play. I’m walking you through the exact “reality check” I give agents—how to review your year, get honest about your time and finances, and decide whether you need to quit… or pivot smarter. You’ll also get simple lead gen moves you can start today (yes, even if you’re dual career) so you can stay in the business and get back in control.

In this episode of Coffee with Carrie, I’m breaking down a hard truth: your “tiny” network is not the problem—your effort is. I share how I built my business before Instagram, TikTok, and Reels ever existed: one phone call at a time, one relationship at a time, closing a deal a month in my first 90 days with two kids and pregnant. Your sphere of influence is a goldmine if you’re willing to actually work it.
We’ll walk through exactly how to leverage the people you already know: building and updating your network list daily, creating a real connection system (notes, emails, market updates, and yes, social), and a simple rule—touch 5 people in your network every single day. I’ll show you why relationships close more deals than reels, why you can’t sit around waiting for business, and how to plant like a farmer so you can actually harvest in your business.

In this episode of Coffee with Carrie, I’m breaking down exactly how to enjoy the holidays and still treat December like a revenue month. We talk about blocking time for shopping and family, then flipping the switch into business mode with expired listings, pre-foreclosure mailers, renter-to-buyer campaigns, and holiday content that positions you as the local expert.
If you’ve ever used the holidays as an excuse to stop working, this is your gentle-but-firm wake-up call. Grab your coffee, your calendar, and let’s map out the last 30 days so your future self — and your bank account — will thank you.

In this episode of Coffee with Carrie, I’m diving into the wild world of AI twins, animation, and digital avatars—and asking the real question: should you actually build an AI version of you? I walk through the tools I’m using (Sora, Midjourney, Canva, Descript, HeyGen, Hedra, D-ID, and more), the opportunities for lead generation and 24/7 content, and the hard truth about not becoming the smartest, brokest agent in your market.
We’ll also talk copyright, trademarks, compliance, and why you need to slow down before you turn yourself into Barbie, Wonder Woman, or a Chicago Sky starter. If you’ve been curious about AI avatars but don’t know where to start—or what’s smart vs. risky—this episode is for you.

In this episode, "The “Already Paid For” Playbook for Real Estate Agents" we motivate agents, stop collecting shiny objects and start collecting results. In this roundtable, Carrie J. Little and Justin Letheby show you how to squeeze more listings and buyers out of the tools you already pay for—MLS data, RPR, your CRM, Google Forms, ManyChat, even old-school postcards (yes, paper still works). You’ll hear the renter-to-buyer play that turned a postcard into a closing, the “warehouse of gold” strategy for renters, investors, expires, and cancels, and a simple tagging + nurturing system that turns random contacts into deals. We cover data scripts, landing pages, repurposing LinkedIn blogs into emails, social media that actually builds a list, and the mindset shift from “new software” to “use what works.” Pick one daily action, stay consistent, ask for the business—then watch the pipeline move.

In this episode, I break down a simple three-list strategy to turn renters into buyers—starting with your sphere, pulling a 9-month “rented” list from the MLS, and finding hidden sellers among downsizers and move-up owners. We’ll talk fall-market realities, why “light, bright, and clean” still wins, and how consistency in social + direct mail = conversions. You’ll leave with postcard ideas, a month of content prompts, and a step-by-step pattern you can repeat every month to keep your pipeline full.
