The Double Duty Agent® Podcast with Carla Higgins
The Double Duty Agent® Podcast with Coach Carla is for real estate agents who are building their business alongside another career, family responsibilities, caregiving, school, or a full life.
If you have ever felt behind, overwhelmed, inconsistent, or unsure how to make real estate work with the time you actually have, this podcast was created for you.
Coach Carla Higgins, founder of Double Duty by Design™, helps busy agents turn limited time into focused, income-producing action so they can build a real estate business that fits their life and helps their license become a path to income, freedom, and confidence.
Each week, you’ll get practical coaching, mindset support, real agent stories, and simple systems to help you focus on what matters most: conversations, appointments, clients, closings, and income.
This is not about hustle, comparison, or building your business like everyone else. It is about building by design.
You are not behind. You are building.

Every Conversation Is an Opportunity: The 4 Conversations That Move Your Business Forward
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Not every conversation leads to a closing—but every intentional conversation can move your business forward. Learn how to recognize the opportunities hiding inside the conversations you're already having.
EPISODE OVERVIEW
This podcast is for the real estate agents building their dream life and business on their terms—especially if you're working another job, raising a family, or building it all at once.
In this episode of the Double Duty Agent Podcast, Carla breaks down why simply "having conversations" isn't enough. The key isn't the number of conversations you have—it's recognizing the opportunity inside each one.
Using the Double Duty Formula—Conversations → Appointments → Clients → Closings → Income—Carla shares four ways every conversation can strengthen your business, whether it leads to an appointment today or plants a seed for the future.
You'll learn:
- How to recognize appointment opportunities instead of letting them pass by unnoticed.
- The Magic Question that helps uncover referrals and keeps people thinking about you when real estate comes up.
- Why updating your database is really relationship-building—and how those small details help you stay top of mind when someone is ready to buy, sell, or refer.
This isn't just content. This is coaching. Let's go.
"Every conversation is an opportunity. Your job isn't to force the outcome. Your job is to recognize the opportunity."
COACHING REFLECTION QUESTION
As you head into your conversations this week, ask yourself:
What opportunity might be inside this conversation?
Could it lead to:
- An appointment?
- A referral?
- Stronger relationships in your database?
- A seed you'll harvest months from now?
Remember: consistency in conversations creates consistency in income.
