The real life of agents, lenders, and moms who do it all. If you’ve ever cried in your car between appointments or negotiated a contract while microwaving chicken nuggets, welcome home. This is Realty Check - the show where sanity is optional, caffeine is mandatory, and we say the quiet parts out loud. We’re Amanda and Leni. Two moms building our businesses in the middle of snack requests, appraisal deadlines, and never-ending group texts. We’re not here to give you the polished version. We’re here to talk about the deals that almost broke us, the clients who became family, and the moments that made us wonder if quitting to raise alpacas would be easier. Whether you’re a real estate agent, a lender, a mom, or just someone trying to keep it together while building a career…you’re seen, you’re understood, and you’re in the right place. Every episode, we’re pulling back the cu

14. EXPECTATION VS. REALITY: SURVIVING SUMMER WITH 90s NOSTALGIA AND GRACE
Aug 20, 202658 min
Send us Fan Mail Remember when we said this summer was going to be our most structured, productive season yet? Yeah, about that. This week on Realty Check , we’re unpacking the chaos of our busy lives as moms and professionals, and learning to give ourselves the same grace we give everyone else. Tune in for some nostalgic laughs about 90s cartoons, listener shoutouts, and practical parenting updates—including how we are surviving the summer without camps, embracing the power of childhood boredom, and cleverly incentivizing reading lessons with classic PBS Kids shows!

Send us Fan Mail Planning to buy a home in the Sacramento region and want an elite agent and lender team in your corner? Reach out below to work with us today, and make sure to hit subscribe so you never miss a dose of real estate reality! Get ready for a fully educational breakdown of what actually happens after you find the house you love. If you've ever wondered what your real estate agent and lender actually do behind the scenes, this is the episode for you. We explain how your dream team (your favorite Sacramento agent, Amanda, and resident lender, Leni) works together to protect you, negotiate on your behalf, and clean up the messes before you even see them. In this episode, we break down: The Big Three of Offer Writing: How we strategically use price, contingencies (loan, appraisal, inspections), and fee negotiations to make your offer stand out. The Timeline Strategy: Why closing on the 1st of the month versus the 28th can make a massive difference in your out-of-pocket costs and daily interest. Seller Credits Explained: How paying a slightly higher purchase price in exchange for closing cost credits can keep your hard-earned cash in your pocket. A Real-Life Success Story: We look back at one of our very first deals together where diving deep into the neighborhood data and writing an aggressive, strategic offer beat out the competition—even when the listing agent doubted us. Grab your coffee (or your Real-tea!) and join us as we translate the heavy real estate jargon into plain English.

Every question we get asked before someone starts their trial.
If you have a concern about deliverability, AI quality, data privacy, or whether this will actually work for your specific situation, it's probably answered below.
What is the difference between Founder Solo and Founder Pro?
Founder Solo gives you 50 AI pitches per month using the credit model (Standard pitches cost 1 credit, Enriched pitches cost 2). Founder Pro raises that to 200 credits per month and adds full Booking Probability access, unlimited Magic Match, Apollo enrichment credits, and data export capabilities. Both plans use the same credit system, so you can stretch your monthly budget further by using Standard-mode drafting.
How do agency tiers work?
Agency tiers have no base fee. You pay per managed client and per talent profile. Agency Standard is $199 per client per month; Agency Pro is $399 per client per month. Both add $39 per talent profile per month. Your own team's user seats are always free.
What is a talent profile?
A talent profile represents one person (founder, executive, or spokesperson) you are booking onto podcasts. It includes their bio, topics, headshots, and outreach history. Team plans include 5 profiles; agency plans are pay-as-you-go.
Can I switch plans later?
Yes, at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades apply at the end of the current billing period. Contact support if you need help migrating between plan families.
Do you offer a free trial?
Every paid plan includes a 15-day free trial. Your card is saved at signup but you will not be charged until day 16. Cancel any time from your dashboard.
What happens if I cancel?
You keep access until the end of your current billing period. No charges after that. Your data is retained for 30 days in case you reactivate.
Is the 20% annual discount automatic?
Yes. Select Annual on the pricing toggle and the discounted price is applied automatically at checkout. The annual price shown is the full year cost.
What if I have more than 50 profiles or 20 clients?
That is our Enterprise tier. Contact our sales team and we will build a custom plan with volume pricing, a dedicated account manager, and SLA guarantees.
