Well, this is awkward. On this episode of Upmarket, Reed and Mark dissect the bombshell news that their loyal and beloved O.G. Presenting Sponsor Aryeo had been bought out by none other than Upmarket's arch-nemesis, Zillow. (See Ep. 32 for the guy's unfiltered thoughts on Zillow.)

After an unusually long delay between episodes, Reed, Mark and Chelsea are back! They get into the business landscape that we're all feeling in the Real Estate Media world... fewer listings means fewer jobs (and less money)! They break down the effect current market conditions have had on Upmarket Media and how they are coping with the new normal. Other things are on their minds too... staffing, marketing, meeting payroll and their overall mental health as they navigate the realities of Real Estate Media in 2023. It's gets a little dark, but it's all good. Also, the age old question of whether Reed should try mushrooms is broached!And, of course, they end the show with two Action Items that listeners can use to help grow their Real Estate Media Businesses.Follow the pod on Instagram at @upmarketpod.

On this episode, CEO Reed sits down for a wonderful and informative chat with his amazing Executive Coach, Deepa Pulipati. Deepa shares what an executive coach actually does as they break down a bunch of the stuff that Reed has been doing in his sessions with her. They touch on task lists, strategic thinking, adult coloring, self-compassion, building architecture instead of doing archeology and accountability partners. Reed has gotten so much from working with Deepa and hopes that all the listeners can learn from her too!They, of course, end the show with two Action Items that listeners can use to help grow their Real Estate Media Businesses.Follow the pod on Instagram at @upmarketpod.

After a heated back-and-forth in the Real Estate Media Facebook Group between a Zillow exec and some REP business owners (Reed included,) Upmarket thought it's just about time to do an episode focused on Zillow and their new ShowtingTime+ Listing Media Services. A representative from Zillow was invited to be on the show, and after enthusiastically agreeing to do it, eventually ended up pulling the plug on the appearance. The Pod waits for no Zillow rep, so Reed and Mark talk all things Zillow amongst themselves in this episode. Topics covered: Why REP's do not, ahem, like Zillow. How Zillow values REP's. The true motives behind Zillow launching ShowingTime+. Why RE agents do not, ahem, like Zillow. Under what circumstances Upmarket Media would offer Zillow 3D to their clients. Mark's accent. What Zillow can do solve their big problem of having MLS's downscale photos before syndication. AND MORE.

Get out from behind your camera and actually talk to your (potential) clients! This week is all about the power of in-person marketing. With Mark back in the studio, he and Reed go through all the successes they've had with their face-to-face marketing in 2023. From brokerage presentations, to client lunches, to networking events (including Reed's controversial appearance in a heated on-stage game of Realtor Feud) and much more. The guys go deep on all of it (including shoe strategy) so that the audience can apply the same strategies to their own businesses and start to reap the incredible benefits of prolific and repeated in-person marketing!

This week Mark is on vacation, so Producer Chelsea pinch-hits and sits down with Reed to chat. They don't just talk about Chelsea's recent culinary adventures in Paris, they actually cover Real Estate Media as well! First, they delve into a recent Inman article titled "7 Power-Moves Top Agents are Making Right Now." (Shout-out to Tacey Youngmann of Snowberry Lane Photography in WA for summarizing the article and posting it in the FB groups!) Even though the article geared for RE Agents, there is a ton of good and relevant stuff to go over for Real Estate Media folk. Basically, be smart, but Double-Down on what you're doing. That's the "Power-Move" that can position you strongly for the boom times. In the second half of the show, they talk about all the ways Upmarket Media is doubling-down on their marketing. The episode ends with a couple Action Items that listeners can use to help grow their own Real Estate Media Businesses!Follow the pod on Instagram at @upmarketpod.
