In this episode of the Driven to Succeed Real Estate Podcast, host Brandon Olson sits down with Dan Kallas and Erik Holm, co-owners of the Right Thing Team, to break down what they’re seeing on the front lines of the 2026 real estate market.

Dan and Erik share why they are extremely optimistic about 2026, how buyer demand is already accelerating, and why psychologically important interest rate levels are flipping the market switch faster than many expected.

The conversation then dives deep into how the Right Thing Team has grown rapidly during one of the toughest real estate markets in decades, why they focus on handing agents real appointments—not cold leads, and how they’ve built a culture that prioritizes agent income, sustainability, and long-term growth.

If you’re a real estate agent thinking about joining a team, a team leader scaling operations, or a lender watching agent productivity trends, this episode delivers real insight into what actually works right now.
