If you've ever scheduled a contractor for a client repair, managed a make-ready before a listing, or spent an afternoon coordinating vendors so a seller could get to market faster, you've already done the work of a renovation business. You just haven't been getting paid for it.

Holly Torri figured that out and built a business around it. She's a fifth-generation DFW resident and the founder of Torri Realty, a boutique independent br...

After nearly 25 in real estate sales, Jaclyn Barker found her next right fit, joining Tiffany Williamson at Navigate Realty as a full-time recruiter.

Over the past few years, Navigate has grown from roughly 80 agents across two North Carolina markets to approximately 400 agents in seven active locations, with Tennessee getting ready to launch. In Raleigh alone, the team is bringing in 15 to 20 new agents a month. 

None of this g...

Most conversations about AI in real estate start and end with the same question: what can the agent stop doing? Tiffany Gelzinis thinks that's the wrong question.

As a real estate team leader and Realtor in Residence at Follow Up Boss who has been operating at the intersection of real estate and technology for years, she makes a different argument: that AI's real value isn't in what it removes from the agent's plate, but in what it ...

Lisa Archer has more than doubled production at Live Love Homes in under two years. A meaningful part of that growth runs through open houses. Not weekend opens hosted reluctantly, but a deliberate seven-day strategy that last year produced 32 sales where the buyer only came through an open house. She's on pace to at least double that number this year.

You'll learn how that strategy works - the seven-day cadence, why Monday through ...

Many real estate teams try to build an appointment-fed model with ISAs serving agents ready-to-go opportunities. This can work - it can create efficient production.

But when Ryan Crighton and Danny Rinaldi tried it, they discovered it wasn’t building agents who were as strong and well-rounded as they wanted.

Learn how the shift from appointment-fed to well-rounded happened, including what prompted it, what it took, and what it ...

Most real estate teams are built around their leader. And at some level, most team leaders know it. Nathan Clark identified that problem early, named it clearly, and spent 20 years solving it. 

The result is a 600-plus transaction, 24-agent, 5-ISA, and 7-staff real estate team in Rhode Island that generates 30 to 35% net profit annually and genuinely runs without him: 15 to 20 hours of work per week, five race cars, and a full ...

Most real estate team leaders assume more is better. More agents, more channels, more tech, more systems, more growth, more quickly.

Brittany Gibbs built her brokerage on the opposite premise. 

When she opened Move Real Estate the day she got her principal broker's license, she made a deliberate choice to do less and focus more: fewer agents added at a time, simpler systems, one channel done well instead of ten done poorly. That...

Most real estate teams hit a wall they can't see clearly.

As production grows, sales leadership becomes the bottleneck. Not because your leaders aren't talented, but because accountability and inspection work alone requires roughly 80 hours a month before recruiting, onboarding, or training even starts.

AI is now changing that math.

Learn how that bottleneck forms, what it costs teams at every stage of growth, and how Christopher Watt...

Some of your best agents will eventually start wondering what it takes to build a team. Instead of letting that curiosity play out on its own, which might mean losing them, Keegan Siegfried gets ahead of it.

He brings high-potential agents behind the curtain: P&Ls, budgets, accountability meetings, the real cost of hiring and firing, all of it. Many realize they don't actually want to build a team. Some have become expansion mar...

What would a commercial division add to your residential real estate team? And what does it look like when one generates roughly $100M in active listings — and a $25M portfolio sale — in its first year?

You're about to find out. But this episode is about a lot more than a shower-thought-turned-11-agent commercial division.

Grant Johnson's Twin Cities team went from selling 100-150 homes per year for nearly a decade to 270...

A full-time chef.
A margarita machine.
Live bands.
Charcuterie boxes.
Golf trips.
A consignment shop.
An animal welfare nonprofit.

Are any of these on your list of real estate team lead generation tactics? Probably not.

Who are they a fit for? Someone who’s delivering “what’s needed in our area.” Someone who’s in production because “leadership without proximity loses power.”...

Why make 300 cold calls per day if you don’t have to?

Instead of chasing and selling to people, Ryan learned to attract them instead. How? With a strong, local website that brought him inbound leads and agent recruits alike.
