Why Most Agents Stall (And How Habits, Systems, and Positioning Fix It) with Bart Gurley - EP 57
Thu Feb 05 2026
In this episode of Real Estate Success, DFW, host Shaune Corbett sits down with Bart Gurley for an honest, high-level conversation about what actually drives long-term success in real estate.
Bart explains why most stalled transactions and burned-out agents aren’t caused by market conditions, but by missing foundations — habits, systems, structured consultations, and clear advisory leadership. They discuss why positioning beats pricing, how financial conversations should happen earlier, and how agents can build referral-based businesses without chasing leads or overspending on marketing.
This episode is a must-listen for agents who want clarity, consistency, and sustainable growth in any market.
