What separates top-producing real estate agents from those who struggle? It's not talent, market conditions, or even how hard you work. It's momentum. And most agents are accidentally killing their own without even realizing it.

If you've ever felt like you're running from something instead of building toward something, this episode will challenge everything you think you know about success in real estate.

If you've ever felt overwhelmed by the pressure to be everywhere online, this conversation will give you permission to subtract and the framework to focus on what moves the needle.

Think growing a brokerage means chasing agents with better commission splits? Think again.

The agents who win in this market aren't the ones doing the most things. They're the ones doing the right things with relentless focus.

If you've ever felt like you're not extroverted enough, not "salesy" enough, or not flashy enough to make it big in real estate, this episode will completely reframe how you think about building sustainable, high-volume production.

This episode isn't about fitness tips or motivational fluff. It's about the uncomfortable truth most agents refuse to confront: your business is only as strong as the foundation it's built on. And that foundation is you.

In this episode, guest host Katie DeWitt sits down with Tristan to break down how he's built a 70-agent team under the Coast brand at eXp, expanded into five separate "legs" of leadership, and used strategic video marketing to turn California movie producers and out-of-state buyers into multi-million dollar clients—all while maintaining that physical office space matters, even in a virtual brokerage world.

In this episode, Kevin sits down with Matt Smith, a team leader who sold 74 homes his first full year in real estate and now leads 40 agents closing 700 deals annually across three Missouri locations. But the journey from top producer to successful team leader nearly destroyed him multiple times.

In our industry, the word mastermind gets thrown around a lot, but what most people call masterminds are actually just classes. To be clear, there’s obviously a time and a place for lessons and being talked at, but that’s not what masterminds are designed for. 

We believe that it would have been irresponsible not to join Place, especially with where real estate is headed. We believe in Place’s system and what Ben Kinney and Chris Suarez are doing - it’s the right way to operate a real estate team today, and it would be hard for any team to top or even match what they are bringing to the table.

Maybe, just maybe, we’re more valuable than our caps. Maybe we have intrinsic value through our relationships and reputations, and that’s something we can leverage. How do we really leverage our influence? How do we actually treat this as a business? Chris Bowers joins me to talk about the thing most agents are starting to realize that brokerages have known it for ages. 

The clarity you seek is on the blank page you're avoiding. Before you call another meeting, spend another dollar, or burn another hour—grab a notebook and define the problem. Watch how quickly the solution reveals itself.

Feeling stuck isn't a sign you're failing. It's a signal that you're ready for the next level.

This episode reveals the counterintuitive psychology of when to ask for reviews, the systematic approach that scales from solo agents to large teams, and how to turn "free" social proof into trackable lead generation that makes your phone ring with listing appointments.

In this episode, you'll discover why real estate education doesn't work, why the first 30 days are make-or-break for new agents, and the simple system that consistently gets agents into production faster than anything else in the industry.

Most real estate agents are working twice as hard as they need to. While the industry obsesses over lead generation volume, the top 1% have cracked the code on strategic prospecting that cuts their effort in half while doubling their results.
