In this special solo episode of Rethink Real Estate, Ben Brady unpacks the seismic shifts he’s seen across North America’s real estate landscape in July. After reviewing over 120,000 listings last quarter, Ben reflects on a key turning point: a major sentiment shift among agents and sellers, signaling a broader acceptance of the market for what it is—not what people wish it was.From Florida to Boulder to Menlo Park, Ben shares hard-hitting case studies that highlight both the wins and the honest reality of today’s seller expectations. He breaks down how agents are getting clarity (not just contracts), why “help” is Harcourts Auctions’ new rally cry, and the surprising trend of listings coming off the market entirely—because the process delivered the truth sellers needed.Whether you’re seeing stalled listings, frustrated clients, or just trying to understand how to build trust and results in this market, Ben’s breakdown will leave you with insight, inspiration, and a no-BS roadmap for what’s working—and what isn’t—right now.⏱️ Timestamps & Key Topics:[00:00:00] – Why July Felt Like a Major Sentiment Shift[00:01:16] – Analyzing 120,000 Listings & Response Rates[00:03:05] – The New Agent-Seller Relationship Dynamic[00:05:06] – Our New Company Theme: Help Over Hype[00:06:08] – Florida, Menlo Park, Boulder: Case Study Results[00:09:04] – What We Learn from the Auctions That Didn’t Sell[00:11:53] – The 4th Phase of Auction: Clarity for Sellers🔗 Related Resources:For more info on Harcourts Auctions, our non-distressed auction platform, visit: https://www.harcourtsauctions.comConnect with Ben Brady and the Harcourts Auctions team:Facebook: www.facebook.com/BenbradyharcourtsLinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/ben-brady-0b223517Instagram: www.instagram.com/harcourtsauctionsFacebook: www.facebook.com/HarcourtsAuctions🎧 Like, follow, and subscribe to help us keep the podcast growing.
