Finishing Strong: Mindset, Niches, and the Next Era of The Talk of Music City Real Estate :: Ep 245

About this episode

Monte and Carey Ann celebrate the podcast's history while discussing mindset, market adaptability, and the future of their show.

On the 245th episode of TOMCRE, Monte and CareyAnn celebrate nearly seven years of shows, reflect on how the podcast began as a radio program, and share hard‑won lessons from decades in real estate and mortgage.
