Key Takeaways
- Real estate agents and investors operate with drastically different strategies, styles, and mindsets—but both play essential roles in the housing ecosystem.
- The mutual disrespect between agents and investors is often rooted in misunderstanding, ego, and lack of collaboration.
- When they drop the rivalry and work together, agents and investors become an unstoppable force for profit, power, and long-term wealth.

Welcome to the War Room!
This isn't just about houses! It's about who REALLY runs the game!
100 Real Estate Agents. 100 Real Estate Investors. One Unavoidable Clash.
The battlefield isn’t a subdivision or a high-rise—it’s your Instagram feed, your Facebook group, your overpriced networking brunch.
The weapons?
Scripts, skip tracing, commission breath, and cold-calling calluses.
On one side: The agents.
Polished.
Posing.
Parroting scripts handed down from the "Book of Broker."
They worship the MLS like it’s the Ark of the Covenant and treat business cards like golden tickets to Narnia.
Their war cry?
“We don’t find deals—we list them.”
On the other side: The investors.
Dirty shoes.
Discounted houses.
Disdain for headshots.
They show up in gym shorts with a clipboard, buy your neighbor’s house off-market, and vanish before the ink dries.
Their motto?
“Why list it when I can leverage it?”
This isn’t just a job difference.
This is a full-blown cultural cold war!
What's this really all about?
Commission vs. Cash Flow.
Open Houses vs. Open Escrows.
Zillow Addiction vs. Door-Knocking Dependence.
Agents think investors are reckless rule-breakers with no ethics.
Investors think agents are overpaid middlemen who get in the way.
And the truth?
They’re both kinda right.
But here’s what neither side wants to admit: While they’re busy sniping each other in the comments section, a bigger truth is rising:
Real estate is evolving.
The lines are blurring.
And this rivalry?
It’s headed straight toward a bloody, hilarious, meme-worthy showdown.
So if you came for peace and professionalism, back out now.
But if you came to witness a no-holds-barred satire of the two titans who run your housing market...
Welcome to the War Room!
This is where the truth finally gets its time on the mic—and no one escapes without at least one ego bruise.

Tailored Suits vs. Tactical Hoodies
One Group Sells Dreams in Skinny Pants. The Other Buys Nightmares in Bulk.
Welcome to the frontline fashion war of real estate. This isn’t just about style—it’s about strategy disguised as a wardrobe choice.
The Agent Uniform: Tailored, Tight, and Terrified of Sweat
Real estate agents look like they’re walking out of a Zara photo shoot.
The men?
Skin-fade haircuts and shiny loafers.
The women?
Power blazers, 4-inch heels, and tote bags stuffed with iPads, lip gloss, and broken dreams.
Why? Because in their world, appearance is leverage. Image is everything. “Fake it ‘til you’re featured on a billboard.”
They’re coached to walk the walk, talk the talk, and triple-check their teeth before a listing appointment.
Their secret weapon?
The MLS.
Their spirit animal?
Zillow.
And their worst fear? Getting their hands dirty—literally or metaphorically.
They follow scripts like soldiers.
They host open houses like it’s the Oscars.
They smile even when the deal dies—because they have to. The brokerage is watching.
But deep down, beneath that Patagonia vest or Louis Vuitton scarf... is a person scared of missing their sales quota and losing their broker's approval.
They’re dressed to impress, but inside?
They’re dressed in commission anxiety.
The Investor Uniform: Hoodies, Hustle, and No One to Impress
Now let’s wade into the gritty chaos of the investor’s lair.
Forget glam.
This is about grind.
We’re talking Carhartt hoodies with drywall dust. Steel-toed boots with eviction scuffs. Caps that say “We Buy Houses” in marker.
These aren’t outfits.
They’re armor.
Investors don’t care if they look like they rolled out of a foreclosure dumpster. Because they did, and found a deal in it.
Their version of “business casual”?
Basketball shorts, a cracked phone screen, and a spreadsheet full of pain.
They don’t post closing selfies. They post before-and-afters of homes that looked like murder scenes.
They don’t carry business cards. They carry bolt cutters, skip trace leads, and a signed purchase agreement from someone who hasn’t paid their mortgage in 12 months.
They don’t show up to be liked. They show up to leverage.
And while the agent is working their fifth listing of the year...
The investor is working on a five-door package deal in pre-foreclosure, with the seller’s cousin in jail, the tenant threatening a lawsuit, and a wholesaler who disappeared mid-contract.
In other words: It’s not clean. But it’s real.
And the Winner Is…?
Depends on what game you’re playing.
If it’s aesthetic approval at a networking brunch, give it to the agents. If it’s making six figures from a hoarder house, hand it to the hoodies.
But here’s the punchline:
Both uniforms are just costumes in the real estate circus. One’s trying to look rich. The other’s trying to get rich.
And until they learn to trade tactics—not just insults— They’ll keep swinging blindly while the real money walks right past them.
Buckle up! The next section gets personal.
Time to air out every insult, fear, and fragile ego in the industry.

Agents Think Investors Are Crooks. Investors Think Agents Are Clowns.
Let’s Air It All Out—Because Passive Aggression Doesn’t Build Equity.
Welcome to the roasting pit!
This is the part where the gloves come off, the claws come out, and everyone says what they really think—but usually only in Facebook threads, group chats, or therapy.
What Agents Say Behind Investors’ Backs (And Sometimes to Their Face)
“Investors? You mean the shady folks who offer your grandma $30K for her $150K house?” “They lowball grieving sellers, skip inspections, and act like title insurance is for cowards.” “They learned real estate from TikTok and now they’re out here wholesaling their dignity.”
Agents see investors as loophole-loving pirates.
They hate the word "assignment."
They think “creative finance” means “creative lawsuit.”
They believe if it’s not licensed, it’s probably illegal.
To them, investors are:
- Emotionless
- Unethical
- Unqualified
- Unshaven
- Undereducated
- And somehow always under contract anyway
The phrase “off-market deal” sends chills down their spine, mostly because they weren't invited.
But here’s the kicker: Agents don’t just think investors are crooks.
They think investors are bad for the brand.
The brand of professionalism.
Of credibility.
Of headshots so filtered they belong on dating apps.
Investors remind agents of the wild west. And agents didn’t get licensed to be in a shootout—they came for the wine and cheese broker opens.
What Investors Whisper About Agents (Usually Loudly)
“Agents? You mean tour guides with inflated egos?” “They walk through properties like they’ve got ownership in the drywall.” “They need 14 pre-approvals, 6 showings, and a lender on speed dial just to write one decent offer.”
To investors, agents are MLS-dependent middlemen.
They believe:
- Agents overprice everything
- Undervalue anything not staged
- Waste time with “coming soon” signs like it's the movie industry
And the kicker?
“They don’t even own property.”
Investors see agents as the sales staff in a game of ownership. Always talking about the deal, but never in the deal. They can quote comps but can’t underwrite to save their soul.
“Ask an agent what ARV means. Watch them flinch.”
When Perception Becomes Projection
Here’s the plot twist: They’re both exaggerating. But they’re also both right, just not about everyone.
Because in the shadows of those loudmouths and gatekeepers…
- There are ethical investors helping families escape foreclosure.
- There are brilliant agents guiding first-time buyers without exploiting them.
But the beef continues because the myths are easier than the mirrors.
This isn’t just a rivalry.
It’s a projection war.
Agents accuse investors of greed. Investors accuse agents of ignorance.
But at the core?
Both fear irrelevance. And both know deep down…
They need each other more than they admit.
Next one is pure meme-fuel!
Lock in your ego because everyone’s gettin' roasted.

The Brutal A–Z Guide to Real Estate Ego Disorders
If You’re Not Offended by at Least 10 of These, You’re Not in the Business.
Let’s be honest.
The real estate industry isn’t just built on listings, leads, and leverage.
It’s built on delusion, drama, and dopamine hits from Facebook likes.
Welcome to the glossary no one asked for—but everyone deserves.
This is an A–Z alphabet of the most savage, painfully accurate, and unfiltered phrases that define life as a real estate agent or investor.
This isn’t a vocabulary list.
It’s a mirror.
A – Agentsplaining
When an agent explains something obvious with the smugness of a Harvard professor. Usually ends with: “That’s just how it works in this market.”
B – Brokerage Kool-Aid Drinkers
Agents so deep in their office's cult vibes they’d host open houses during a hurricane… because Brenda from the team said, “It builds character.”
C – Commission Breath
That desperate scent of someone who hasn’t closed a deal in 90 days and it shows. You can smell it through the phone.
D – Desk Duty Trauma Survivors
The agents who did their time waiting for calls that never came, just to hand out pamphlets to people asking for the bathroom.
E – Ego Equity
A made-up metric used to justify Instagram flexes with zero cash flow behind them.
F – Flip-Flop Millionaires
Investors who wear $3 Old Navy sandals but make $80K per wholesale deal. Usually drive a beater… on purpose.
G – Google University Graduates
Wholesalers who watched 7 YouTube videos and now think they’re smarter than the broker who’s been in the game for 20 years.
H – Homeowners Think Investors Are Crooks
Because Aunt Carol’s neighbor once sold her house to a “cash buyer,” and it ended up on a ghost-hunting show.
I – Investor Math
The type of math where 70% of ARV minus repairs somehow equals generational wealth… until it doesn’t.
J – Joint Venture Gym Bros
Every deal starts with “Let’s JV, bro.” Ends with no HUD and a restraining order.
K – Killer Instinct
What agents claim they have. What investors actually need to survive probate deals and six-family evictions.
L – Listings Are for Losers (Said No One With Consistent Income)
Every investor’s favorite lie—until they realize good listings build real leads.
M – MLS = Might Lose Sales
The platform agents worship. The platform investors avoid. And both can’t stop complaining about.
N – Networking Events Are the New Nightclubs
Agents flexing listing stats like bottle service receipts. Investors handing out QR codes like mixtapes.
O – Off-Market or Die
The tattoo every serious investor would get… if they weren’t busy knocking on pre-foreclosure doors.
P – Pre-Foreclosure Stalking Is a Sport
Wake up. Pull leads. Knock at 8 AM. Pretend you’re just “checking on the neighborhood.”
Q – Quiet Quitting Agents
You know them. They list one home a year and spend the rest of their time editing Canva posts with “Top 5 Tips for Homebuyers.”
R – Referrals Are the Agent’s Retirement Plan
The ultimate dream: do no lead gen, close deals from 2008 clients forever, and die with a beach house.
S – Scripts vs. Survival Skills
Agents rehearse their lines. Investors rehearse how to talk a seller off the ledge in a meth house with no HVAC.
T – Tailored Suits vs. Tactical Hoodies
It’s not just clothing. It’s a declaration of war.
U – Upside Delusion Syndrome
The investor’s disease where every teardown is “a goldmine with 7 exits.”
V – Vision Boards With No Valuation
Instagram gurus teaching “mindset” with zero understanding of a T12.
W – We Buy Houses Sign Warriors
Staplers in hand, Honda Civic full of corrugated plastic, ready to dominate every telephone pole in the tri-county area.
X – Xanax Agents
The ones who secretly medicate before open houses because Sharon from the brokerage might “pop by.”
Y – YouTube University Survivors
Self-made “experts” whose portfolio consists of reaction videos and affiliate links.
Z – Zillow Is the Agent’s Spirit Animal
If it’s not on Zillow, it doesn’t exist. And if Zillow says it’s worth more, it must be true.
Reminder: If you’re offended… that means it hit a little too close.
Welcome to real estate!
Now, it's time to break down the hustle science of each side, because how they close says everything about who they are.

Scripts, Skip Tracing, and the Science of Closing
How One Side Uses Charm and Calendly—The Other, Cold Sweat and Hustle.
There are two kinds of closers in this game.
One uses phrases like “Are mornings or afternoons better for you?”
The other is parked outside a distressed duplex, texting a seller’s cousin, waiting for someone to come unlock the damn door.
Let’s break down the wild difference between how agents and investors get to the finish line.
Agents: The Scripted Seduction
Agents don’t close deals. They guide people to closings.
They’re trained like actors in a sales bootcamp theater. Every phone call has a framework. Every objection has a “feel–felt–found.”
They don’t ask. They nurture.
It’s:
“Wouldn’t you agree that waiting could cost you more in the long run?”
Not:
“Look, sell now or lose equity while your water heater floods the crawl space.”
They follow the playbook:
- Lead magnet → CRM
- CRM → auto follow-up
- Auto follow-up → calendar invite
- Calendar invite → tour
- Tour → staged pics
- Staged pics → overpriced listing
- Overpriced listing → prayer
It’s a process.
And while it works (sometimes), it’s also… slow. corporate. predictable.
Like going on five dates just to maybe get a second base offer.
Investors: The Chaos Closer’s Creed
Now picture this:
The seller hasn’t paid their mortgage in 13 months. The house smells like feral cats. The yard is a jungle.
The investor?
Already has a notary on standby.
Investors don’t ask for permission.
They manufacture urgency.
Forget scripts.
They improvise based on the type of hoarder house they just walked into.
Their tools of trade:
- Skip tracing
- Cold texting
- Driving for dollars
- Talking to the seller’s brother’s ex-girlfriend for access
They make offers on the spot. They bring earnest money in cash. They close in 7 days if the title’s clean, and sometimes even if it’s not.
Their process?
“Problem. Pain. Offer. Pressure. Close.”
It’s not cute. But it’s fast.
And when it works?
It prints money like a broken ATM.
Same Destination. Opposite Roads.
In the end, both paths lead to the same place: a signed contract.
But agents get there with:
- Email templates
- “Just checking in” texts
- And five voicemail follow-ups
While investors get there with:
- One in-person visit
- A deal napkin
- And maybe a lock change before escrow
Both believe their way is “the right way.”
But honestly?
The market doesn’t care how you close.
Just that you do.
Get ready to strip away the glam and expose the grind, because in real estate, the best-dressed doesn’t always have the biggest bank account.

Fashion Models vs. Flip-Flop Millionaires
Who Knew Looking Broke Could Make You Richer Than Your Broker?
This is where image meets irony.
Where the sharpest suits don’t own equity, and the guy in gym shorts just paid cash for your listing.
Let’s talk about what the industry looks like… versus what it’s actually worth.
Agents: The High Heels of Illusion
The camera angle is always 45 degrees.
The quote is always “just closed!”
The car is always leased.
Agents curate themselves like lifestyle influencers. They know the brand is the bag.
And if you don’t look rich?
You might not get rich.
So they dress like success:
- Hair appointments = write-off
- Luxury handbags = “client impression tools”
- Designer belts = manifestation
But behind the glam:
- They’re splitting commissions four ways
- Paying brokerage desk fees
- Still renting because “this year is all about branding”
Their marketing?
Meticulously filtered.
Their IG feed?
A highlight reel of closings, cappuccinos, and client “celebrations” paid for with maxed-out credit cards.
Real estate looks like this, they say.
Until you zoom in on the tax returns.
Investors: The Flip-Flop Fortune Club
Now, enter the anti-image empire.
These people look like they wandered out of a Craigslist gig… but just closed six figures on a burned-out duplex.
No suits.
No glam.
No LinkedIn quotes.
Just:
- Dirt under their nails
- Bluetooth in their ear
- Hoodie they’ve worn since 2018
- And a $40K check in their glovebox
Their flex?
Not a Rolex. A tenant who pays early.
They don’t care if you think they look broke, because their net worth would eat your G-Wagon for breakfast.
Their feed?
Mostly “before” photos and Google Drive spreadsheets. Sometimes a pic of a wire transfer.
But usually… nothing.
They’re too busy owning the buildings agents just staged.
Image Is a Costume. Wealth Is a Weapon.
This section ain’t about who looks better. It’s about who’s winning the long game.
One group sells the lifestyle. The other one bankrolls it.
And while agents worry about optics... Investors worry about options.
If you ever wondered who really runs the show?
It’s not the person in the power suit. It’s the one whose name is on the title.
If you thought this feud was bad, it's time we turn the spotlight inward, because before agents and investors attack each other...
They eat their own.
United States Real Estate Investor

Internal Beef is Fattier Than the External One
Before They Hate Each Other, They Cannibalize Their Own.
You thought agents hated investors? You thought investors trashed agents?
That’s cute.
Wait until you see what happens inside their own camps.
Agents vs. Agents: Passive-Aggression in Pumps
The brokerage down the street?
Trash.
The agent on your team?
Incompetent.
The top producer?
Probably cheating the system.
No one beefs like real estate agents do with other agents.
They smile in group photos—then secretly:
- Report each other’s signs to the board
- Talk trash in broker-only Facebook groups
- Spy on each other’s open houses “just to support”
Within a brokerage?
It’s Mean Girls with lockboxes.
- One’s stealing leads.
- One’s skipping meetings.
- One’s secretly interviewing at eXp… again.
And don’t even get started on the team leader drama.
They preach “abundance mindset” while hoarding all the good leads like it’s the last can of Spam during the apocalypse.
Forget investors.
Agents will destroy each other before closing day ever arrives.
Investors vs. Investors: Every JV Is a Time Bomb
Now, swing the camera over to the investor crowd.
Same bloodshed.
Just dirtier.
Every so-called “partnership” is one blown budget away from betrayal.
It starts with:
“We’re in this 50/50, bro.”
It ends with:
“Where’s the HUD, bro?”
Investors fall out over:
- Ghosted buyers
- Shady contractors
- Inflated ARVs
- Instagram egos
- One too many “Let’s JV” DMs
The silent truth?
Most investor-on-investor hate comes from a scarcity mindset and a serious case of guru envy.
They think:
“If he’s getting deals, I’m not.”
Or worse:
“He’s not even doing deals—just selling a course.”
The guru grift?
It’s created thousands of keyboard warriors who haven’t touched drywall but will fight to the death over exit strategy philosophy in the comments section.
Why the Self-Hate Runs So Deep
Both sides want the same thing:
Control. Validation. Survival.
But they can’t get it from outsiders. So they claw for it from the people closest to them.
And that’s the irony:
Agents don’t trust other agents. Investors don’t trust other investors. Yet both want loyalty, trust, and JV partners who “add value.”
Good luck with that!
Until the mirror becomes the marketplace, they’ll keep punching sideways instead of forward.
If you've read this far, it's obvious you're a glutton for drama.
In this next section, I bring you childish pettiness and unfiltered spice.
This is what makes group chats explode and inboxes go silent.

Savage Sound Bites from the Front Lines
Direct Quotes. No Censorship. Just Heat.
You want raw?
We brought napalm.
None of this is theory.
This is what agents and investors are really saying when the cameras are off and the contracts fall through.
These sound bites?
They sting because they’re either your truth or your trauma.
Investor Disses on Agents
- “Agents list problems. Investors solve them.”
- “They dress like fashion models but cry over a $10K price drop.”
- “If it’s not on the MLS, they’re lost.”
- “They need three pre-approvals just to feel alive.”
- “Agents sell homes. We build empires.”
- “You think commission is cash flow? That’s adorable.”
- “They spend more time posing for headshots than analyzing deals.”
- “Ask them what a cap rate is. Watch the silence.”
Agent Disses on Investors
- “Investors? You mean lowballers with delusions of grandeur?”
- “They learned real estate from TikTok and think they’re moguls.”
- “They call it ‘wholesaling’—we call it ‘scamming.’”
- “One YouTube video and now they’re Grant Cardone?”
- “They think rules are optional. Good luck in court.”
- “If it’s not legal or licensed, they’re doing it.”
- “Investors wear the same hoodie for five years and call it branding.”
- “Most of them can’t even spell ‘disclosure.’”
Mutual Insults: Truce-Busting Truth Bombs
- “Both think they’re better than the other—and both can’t close without each other.”
- “One gets listings. The other gets lawsuits.”
- “They both think they’re the smartest in the room—until a buyer ghosts them.”
- “Both worship at the altar of leverage… just with different pastors.”
- “Neither can agree on valuation, but both agree Zillow is trash.”
What should you do with the trash talk you just read?
I can think of a few things...
- Use it for memes.
- Use it for ad copy.
- Use it as a verbal flamethrower in your next networking event.
Behind every deal that didn’t close is a quote like this muttered in a parking lot.

This is where the gloves are off...
And the masks come off, too.
Because this battle?
It was never just about deals.
The Real Fight: Power, Control, and Who Gets to Call the Shots
It’s Not About the Deal. It’s About the Throne.
Let’s stop pretending.
Agents don’t hate investors because of ethics.
Investors don’t hate agents because of rules.
They hate each other because they both want to be the alpha.
This is a turf war.
A control issue.
A full-on Game of Thrones episode, just with lockboxes and loan docs.
Agents: Gatekeepers of the Kingdom
Agents were taught that they’re the authority.
They control the MLS.
They know the contracts.
They wear the name tags.
The entire system was built to make them feel like the industry’s gatekeepers.
- Want to list a property? Go through an agent.
- Want comps? Ask an agent.
- Want access? Schedule with an agent.
It’s power built on access, on permission.
But here’s what keeps them up at night:
Investors don’t need their permission.
Investors: Rebels with the Deed
Investors don’t knock.
They kick doors open.
While agents are waiting for signatures, investors are getting signatures.
They operate outside the box.
Sometimes outside the law (oops).
Definitely outside the MLS.
Their power comes from:
- Direct-to-seller deals
- Controlling contracts
- Structuring terms
- Creative finance sorcery
They don’t need a listing. They create inventory.
And that scares the hell out of agents, because suddenly, they’re not the only ones with leverage.
The True Battleground: Narrative
Who owns the story?
- The agent wants to say: “I sold that house.”
- The investor wants to say: “I controlled that deal.”
One wants credit. The other wants cash flow. Both want influence.
This whole thing isn’t about sales vs. flips. It’s about who gets to define success in real estate.
And until that gets settled?
Every interaction is a silent power play:
- Who gets to speak first?
- Who “brings the buyer?”
- Who sets the price?
- Who walks away with the real win?
United States Real Estate Investor

This is when the script flips and the magic (and money) starts to happen.
When the Shark Meets the Salesperson
Strange Bedfellows or the Greatest Team in Real Estate History?
Let’s pause the bloodshed for a second.
Because when agents and investors stop throwing shade and start throwing deals, something wild happens:
The dream team forms.
From Friction to Firepower
Most real estate partnerships start with suspicion:
“What’s this agent trying to charge me for?” “What’s this investor trying to get away with?”
But then… the stars align:
- The investor has a cash offer and no buyer’s agent.
- The agent has a listing that’s about to expire.
- They both want the same thing: a closing that actually closes.
And suddenly, instead of stepping on each other…
They start stacking each other’s strengths.
Real Examples of When It Works
The Flip Boost: An investor rehabs a disaster. An agent stages it like HGTV had a baby with Restoration Hardware. Result? $42K over asking. Double the offers. Done in a weekend.
The “Double Dip” Deal: Agent brings the seller, investor brings the buyer, and they both walk away with cash and content for their marketing reels.
The Covert Wholesale Assist: Investor finds a killer off-market deal but needs credibility. Agent steps in, legitimizes it, gets paid, and now they’ve got a steady source of leads from “the dark side.”
The Creative Close: The Investor can't get the seller to budge. Agent steps in with rapport and market data. Boom! Terms accepted, deal closed, and everyone wins.
When You Blend Hustle and Polish
Investors bring:
- Hustle
- Speed
- Off-market magic
- Creative finance
Agents bring:
- Structure
- Legitimacy
- Marketing firepower
- Endless client pipelines
Together?
They can:
- Move deals in days
- Get top-dollar exits
- Outmaneuver anyone stuck in one mindset
But only if the egos step aside long enough to shake hands.
Because here’s the truth bomb:
“The best investor has a rockstar agent in their pocket.” “And the smartest agent? Has an investor feeding them deals before they hit the market.”

The Agent/Investor Partnership Survival Guide (How to Profit Without Killing Each Other)
United States Real Estate Investor
Time to drop the mic!
From Petty to Partnership
Turns Out, the Real Estate Power Couple Was Right in Front of Us the Whole Time.
All that drama, shade, sound bites, and Instagram subtweets?
Turns out… it was just foreplay.
Agents and investors...
They were never meant to destroy each other.
They were meant to dominate together!
The Agent Alone
Polished.
Connected.
Trained to serve, but stuck in a cycle of lead gen, late nights, and constant “value-based follow-ups.”
They have:
- Market knowledge
- CRM systems
- Endless access to retail buyers
But they crave:
- Bigger paydays
- Ownership
- A seat at the investor table
The Investor Alone
Ruthless.
Fast.
Vision-driven, but always on the hunt, always one deal away from burnout.
They have:
- Off-market mastery
- Hustle for days
- Killer instincts
But they need:
- Credibility
- Exposure
- Help navigating the polished side of real estate
The Partnership That Prints Wealth
What if instead of flexing on each other…
- They co-invested?
- What if agents stopped looking down on wholesaling and learned how to leverage it?
- What if investors stopped mocking headshots and let agents help them exit smarter?
Because when you combine:
- An agent’s polish
- With an investor’s grit
- And a shared obsession with winning
You don’t just close deals.
You build an empire.
The Final Truth of It All
This was never about who’s better.
It’s about how powerful they could be if they stopped battling and started building.
So here’s the truce:
- Agents: Learn to invest. Control your future.
- Investors: Partner with pros. Scale faster.
- Both: Get over yourselves. There’s too much money on the table.
From petty to partnership?
It’s not just possible. It’s the next evolution of the entire industry.
And the ones who get there first?
They won’t just win deals.
They’ll own the game.
The Roast Was Real, But the Respect Runs Deeper
Writing this article was a total blast!
It gave me the chance to poke fun at both real estate agents and investors in a way that was light-hearted, brutally honest, and hopefully just the right amount of uncomfortable, with which many of you could identify.
There’s something incredibly fun about spotlighting the quirks, egos, and daily grind of these two very different, but equally passionate groups.
But beyond the jokes and satire, there’s a deeper truth here: agents and investors aren’t enemies.
They’re not polar opposites.
In fact, they’re often missing exactly what the other brings to the table.
Agents bring structure, style, and systems. Investors bring grit, guts, and the willingness to make wild deals happen fast.
When the two stop judging and start collaborating, they unlock something powerful.
So yes, we laughed, we jabbed, and we called out the nonsense, but this was also a real love letter to both sides of the industry.
When agents and investors team up, they don’t just close more deals, they change the game entirely.

"Though investors and agents certainly have their differences—and those can be hard to see past—ultimately, both are made stronger when they realize that those differences can in fact be complementary. This article takes a strong, and funny, look at the differences between investors and agents and then ultimately reminds us of how strong we can be when we work together."
Paul Anderson, Vertical Funding Capital
"This article perfectly explains the misperceptions and differences between real estate agents and real estate investors. It’s very funny, yet also spot-on accurate. Whether you are a veteran or new to the real estate world, this is a must-read!"
Victoria Holman, Victoria's Impressions of Love
“After reading this article, it made me realize that everyone involved with real estate, whether it's investors, agents, etc., should all tighten up on their game and realize their position with each other.”
Randall Yates, Vet Home Search
“Entertaining and honest as hell! This article says what most folks are too careful to admit. If more agents and investors read this, they’d stop flexing and start actually working together.”
Levi Rodgers, VA Loan Network
“A brutally funny, dead-on look at the real estate ego wars. As a broker who works with investors daily, I’ve seen both sides win and lose. This piece doesn’t just entertain, it calls the whole industry to level up.”
Jen Du Plessis, Kinetic Spark Consulting, LLC
“Antonio hit the nail on the head, literally! People think them feel comfortable that they are dealing with a professional, not some fly-by-night scammer."
