The Psychology of Real Estate
About This Episode
In this candid conversation with industry veteran Marguerite Crespillo, I explore what 28+ years in real estate has taught me about the emotional side of buying and selling homes. Real estate isn't just transactions — it's people at some of the most significant moments of their lives.
We talk about the grief clients often experience when leaving a longtime family home, how I became a Certified Grief Recovery Specialist, and why the agents who build lasting careers are the ones who lead with compassion. We also get into my background in the REO/foreclosure market, reading market data like a professional, and how I came to teach real estate as a Licensed Real Estate Instructor in Georgia.
Key Quotes
"I look at every person I work with as a person first — not just a transaction. If you keep it about the people, the business and the money will follow."

— Cindi Blackwood"I cut my teeth in the foreclosure world, running market statistics almost every day. That taught me how to read the numbers before the average agent even knew what was happening."
— Cindi Blackwood"If you get bored in real estate, it's your own fault. Things are changing every day — there's always something new to learn."
