Local Tourist: Down-Home Content That Creates Closings | Brandie Love Baudin
What if growing your real estate business on social media didn’t require fancy equipment, complicated editing, or even showing your face? In this episode of REAL SOUTH AGENTS, Jamie Knight sits down with Louisiana Realtor Brandie Love Baudin to break down the simple social media strategy that has helped her build a following of roughly 15,000 people while serving small-town Louisiana. Brandie’s strategy? Become a Local Tourist.

Instead of filling her feed with nothing but listings and sales posts, Brandie started highlighting local restaurants, boutiques, businesses, homes, and the communities she serves. Many of her videos don’t include her face or even her voice—just simple vertical clips shot on her phone. And those videos are turning into real estate business. Brandie shares how people relocating from New Jersey, military families PCSing to Louisiana, buyers, and sellers have discovered her through Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok. In this episode, we break down: • How to become the ā€œlocal touristā€ in your real estate market • Why local business videos can attract future buyers and sellers • Brandie’s simple two-second clip filming strategy • How she creates home tours using only her phone • Why you DON’T have to show your face to get started • How she uses Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and Stories differently • Why shareable local content can outperform traditional real estate posts • How to turn social media attention into actual real estate conversations • Why consistency matters more than complicated content Just start. The time is passing anyway. Post the video. REAL SOUTH AGENTS brings you conversations with Realtors throughout the South who are building businesses differently, serving their communities, and sharing strategies you can actually put to work.

REAL+REMAX: Now What? | Malcolm Lawson
What does the REAL REMAX merger actually mean for real estate agents? In this episode of the REAL SOUTH AGENTS Podcast, Jamie Knight sits down with Malcolm Lawson to break down what could happen next for REAL Broker agents, REMAX agents, and REMAX broker/owners following the REAL REMAX deal. We get into the conversations agents are already having — including some of the controversy surrounding the merger, concerns from longtime REMAX agents, what could change behind the scenes, and why this deal could create new opportunities for agents on both sides. Malcolm shares his perspective on how REAL's technology could potentially help REMAX brokerages streamline transaction management, reduce administrative costs, improve the agent experience, and increase profitability. We also discuss what may stay exactly the same for REMAX agents who don't want major changes to their businesses. For REAL Broker agents, we look at what adding the REMAX organization could mean for REAL's credibility, scale, industry influence, collaboration opportunities, and long-term growth. We also dive into the money side of the deal — including REAL stock, REAL Wallet, One Real Mortgage, REAL Title, revenue share, and the potential for agents to create additional streams of income.
