🎙️Andrew Jevin: Building Community, Getting Vulnerable, and What to Expect at the Social Summit 2026
Andrew Jevin doesn’t just teach real estate agents how to show up online - he leads by example. In this candid episode of In The Hype Seat, host Holly Meyer Lucas welcomes the Los Angeles-based real estate coach, speaker, and event producer behind the Social Summit 2026 for a conversation that’s as funny as it is real.
Recorded at PodPlus Studios in Jupiter, Florida, the episode dives deep into Andrew’s story - from acting in Los Angeles to selling more than $150 million in real estate with Compass, and now coaching agents across the country with a refreshingly honest take on what it really takes to grow a personal brand.
An Acting Career, A Pivot, and A Panic Attack That Changed Everything
Before real estate, Andrew spent a decade in LA chasing acting roles, booking commercials, and balancing restaurant jobs. After the sudden loss of his father, everything changed. He found himself overwhelmed by panic attacks and burnout. A friend encouraged him to try real estate, and he got his license in 2014.
The first year? Crickets. Then he picked up Snapchat, dubbed himself the “Snapping Realtor,” and leaned into vulnerability as a brand strategy. That move changed everything.
The Social Summit: More Than a Real Estate Conference
What started as a hometown experiment in a Pennsylvania theater is now one of the most anticipated events in the industry.
The Social Summit 2026, hosted in Miami, features a stacked lineup including Case Kenny, Brock Johnson, Glennda Baker, Tracy Tutor, Quiana Shonte Echols, Krista Watterworth Alterman, James Harris, Julia Wang, and more.
It’s a room filled with creators, leaders, and professionals from all over the country who are craving real connection in a low-ego, high-energy setting.
Andrew’s goal isn’t just another speaking event. It’s a vibe shift for the industry - one where community, storytelling, and authenticity take center stage.
Vulnerability as a Business Strategy
In the episode, Andrew opens up about growing up gay in a small town and how that shaped his sensitivity to vulnerability. He speaks about the online “content controversy” that rocked his world two years ago and how he weathered it by leaning on his community, taking a social media break, and staying grounded in his values.
He also shares how he keeps perspective: stepping away from Instagram 2x a year, surrounding himself with people who bring out the best in him, and remembering that real impact doesn’t always happen on camera.
A Glimpse Into What’s Next
When Holly asks what the next 10 years might hold, Andrew doesn’t skip a beat. He wants more events, more coaching, more community. His new app is in development. His membership program continues to grow.
And the Social Summit is only just getting started.
His brand isn’t about being perfect. It’s about showing up, telling the truth, and helping other people feel seen in the process.
