Houston agent Katie Day won a coaching call with me in 2018. At the time, she was in just her second full year in real estate... and on track to sell 87 homes! My advice was simple – hire another agent and start building your team immediately.

So I asked her to join me on today’s podcast to shed some light on ...

Can you tell me who your first sales are in 2022? If the answer is no, it’s time to wake your ass up and get to work. It’s been a frothy 21 months in the real estate industry.

Teams are the future – there’s no getting around it. But you’ve got to start thinking strategically about the long game BEFORE you build – and hire. Ask yourself: what am I really looking to achieve? It’s great to have that big team picture on the fridge but if you’re not making any money, what are you doing?
