In this episode, Mike Baltazar confronts one of the biggest gaps in the real estate and mortgage industry: the disconnect between what clients need and what most professionals are equipped to deliver. Despite all the technology, tools, and data available today, many consumers still feel overwhelmed, under-informed, or underserved—and that’s a professional problem, not a market one.

Mike breaks down how the RESA model is redefining client service by integrating real estate and mortgage strategy into one seamless, empowered approach. This episode is a rallying cry for real estate agents, mortgage loan officers, and homebuyers alike to demand and deliver something better—something more complete.

Whether you're a seasoned pro or a first-time buyer, you'll walk away from this episode with clarity on what modern consumers deserve—and how to be the kind of professional who delivers it.

In today’s powerful episode, Mike Baltazar reveals why real estate and mortgage professionals can no longer rely on outdated tactics, legacy referrals, or broken systems to survive in today’s market. Despite historically low transaction volume, some professionals are thriving—not because they’re lucky, but because they’ve embraced strategy, systems, and solutions designed for the modern buyer and seller.

Mike discusses how the Real Estate Strategy Agent (RESA) model is helping agents, loan officers, and industry professionals reclaim control, offer real value, and serve clients with deeper alignment and expertise. You’ll discover why this isn’t a housing crisis—it’s a professional crisis—and how RESAs are stepping in to lead the way.

This episode is a must-listen for agents, brokers, loan officers, and consumers who are ready to break away from the status quo and build something smarter, stronger, and more sustainable.

In this powerful episode, Mike Baltazar uncovers the truth behind why the traditional real estate and mortgage process no longer serves today's homebuyers—or the professionals representing them. With over 27 years in the industry, Mike speaks candidly about the inefficiencies baked into the current system and why the Real Estate Strategy Agent (RESA) model is the future of real estate.

You’ll discover how dual-licensed professionals—those who hold both a real estate and mortgage license—are breaking free from outdated industry practices to create a smarter, more seamless experience for buyers. Mike shares how RESA empowers agents and loan officers to take back control of the client relationship, deliver higher-level service, and unlock opportunities most professionals don’t even realize exist.

Whether you're a frustrated agent, an overworked lender, or a consumer craving transparency and trust, this episode will challenge your thinking and encourage you to step into a new way of doing real estate—one rooted in strategy, not status quo.
