    Episode 124 I The Nontraditional Path: How Hospitality Turned Into $20 Million Home Sales
    Jul 17 2026
    What does serving wine at a nightclub have to do with selling $20 million homes?
    More than you might think.

    On this episode of RWorld Talk, Chris Krzemien sits down with Jason Sims, one of the founders of Serhant Miami, to discuss how an unconventional career path in hospitality helped shape a successful career in luxury real estate.

    Jason shares how 15 years in wine, spirits, and hospitality taught him the skills that matter most when working with high-level clients, from understanding emotions and expectations to creating an experience that goes far beyond the transaction.

    We discussed:
    ➡️ Why the emotional difference between a $1 million buyer and a $20 million buyer
    ➡️ How Jason went from reading Sell It Like Serhant on his honeymoon to joining the team
    ➡️ How to win relocation buyers by selling a lifestyle and not just a house
    ➡️ Why every client gets the same level of service regardless of price point
    ➡️ The $200,000 check mistake he wishes he could take back
    ➡️ What the Serhant culture actually looks like from the inside
    ➡️ Why you cannot do real estate part-time and what happens when you try

    If you have ever thought about moving into luxury real estate or building a referral-based business from a nontraditional background, this is the episode for you.

  • Episode 122 I Hope in Action: The Work Transforming South Florida Communities

    Episode 122 I Hope in Action: The Work Transforming South Florida Communities
    Jun 26 2026
    Housing changes everything, and nobody knows that better than Christine Frederick.

    The CEO of The Lord's Place in Palm Beach County joins RWorld Talk host Chris Krzemien for a conversation about impact, outcomes, and the very real role that Realtors® play in building stronger communities.

    The Lord's Place has spent decades developing a model that works. With a 96 percent success rate for clients who do not return to homelessness, the organization proves that when the right services surround the right people, lives shift in lasting ways. Christine walks through what that looks like in practice, from outreach and dignified meals at Cafe Joshua to employment support, behavioral health services, and transitional housing that creates a true pathway forward.
    The stories in this episode are the kind that stay with you. A woman managing a late-stage cancer diagnosis who now lives peacefully and independently in her own apartment. A young man who spent time on a Lord's Place family campus and is now a college student at FAU. These are the outcomes the community is creating together.
    Realtors® listening to this episode will find plenty of practical takeaways, including how they can bridge the gap between landlords and nonprofits, what master leasing actually looks like, and why being an ambassador in this space starts with a single conversation.

    We Covered:
    ➡️ Why affordable housing impacts far more people than most realize
    ➡️ The connection between rising housing costs and homelessness
    ➡️ The challenges facing working families in South Florida
    ➡️ How organizations like The Lord's Place help people regain stability
    ➡️ What Realtors® and community members can do to make a difference
    ➡️ Why housing is the foundation for long-term success
    ➡️ and more…
