🎙️ The Lab: Robert Colello – Fearless Honesty, Listing Strategy & Market Adjustments That Win Sellers 🏡🔥
In this episode of The Lab, we sit down with Robert Colello, one of San Diego’s top agents and leaders who built a 95% referral-based listing business from the ground up after moving cross-country with zero contacts.

From asking permission to be honest, to scripting price adjustments and setting expectations at the listing table, Robert shares exactly how to lead sellers through any market — without fear, without fluff, and without losing control of the relationship.
