About this episode

This episode discusses the complexities of vacant houses, practical tips for real estate agents, and personal reflections on legacy and change.

Ever walked into a “vacant” house and wondered if someone was still living there? In this episode of The Session with Londa and David, we share a wild showing that ended with three police cars, plus practical tips for protecting vacant listings. We also get real about menopause, changing bodies, color theory, and why legacy starts with the people right in front of you. 3 Business Takeaways: Vacant doesn’t mean safe: Why 98% of vacant homes experience some form of vandalism and how to reduce that risk with proactive, boots-on-the-ground agent practices. Service standards set you apart: Simple, repeatable systems—like checking vacant listings multiple times a week, flushing toilets, and securing doors—build trust and long-term referrals. Storytelling builds your brand: Sharing real behind-the-scenes stories (like police at a showing or clients crawling through tiny crawl spaces) makes your business memorable and relatable. #RealEstateStories #RealtorLife #VacantListing #HomeSellingTips #TheSessionWithLondaAndDavid
