One Big Fire

By Michael Reese

So the big question is… How are agents like us… who didn’t get an opportunity to invest in a franchise early … who are spending time and money to sale homes building someone else a saleable asset… how do we grow our business, but still build wealth and get a piece of the pie that’s not dependent on us working more hours… that is the question and this podcast will give you the answers…

The best life to live is a life by strategy. Not by your next transaction.

OneBigFire: Dan Hilsman built his team to 90+ agent in 12 months, now it's taken on a life of it's own.

OneBigFire: Dan Hilsman built his team to 90+ agent in 12 months, now it's taken on a life of it's own.

Dan Hilsman is simply put a great man. He went on line and watched a YouTube video with Jay Kinder who explained EXP Realty. He did not know Jay from Adam. He had one goal to leave his current brokerage to find a place to build his business. Dan did not put much value on attracting or recruiting agents. That was not his goal, you could say agents reached out to him.

As a solo practitioner, Dan's vision for his business has now expanded way beyond what he could imagine. I tell Dan story all the time to people who are don't understand the power of the EXP Realty business model. 

Dan had one goal, his big "why" is to retire his wife. Well you know what they say, when the "WHY" is clear, the "How" is easy. Dan business now grows from the efforts of others. The efforts of true collaboration of a few agents who believed there had to be a better way.

OneBigFire: Social Media Rock Star GoGo has attracted more than 40 agents to her team in 6 short months.

Gogo after 6 short years in the Real Estate business. Got motivated to add more streams of income to her business after attending a Toney Robbin conference.

Like most people she heard about the EXP opportunity but did not think it was for her. Now she is inspired and ready to help EXP Realty expand their innovated cloud based brokerage model. She is waiting locked and loaded for the international expansion of EXP Realty. 

She is the fastest person that I know who has sponsored more than 40 agents directly. 

Like everyone I've interviewed. GoGo said the one pieces of advice she would give herself if she could go back in time. Would be to join EXP Realty sooner. 

To find out how she is attracting agents and not recruiting leveraging social media listen to this entire episode.

On this episode I interview Shelia Fejeran with EXP realty. Her story is amazing, what she has built is beyond incredible. We talk about why she joined EXP realty. She tells the story about how she called Brent Gove a KW team leader, and got him to take a look at EXP. Brent was also selling more than 100 million in personal production. That one phone call was a million dollar call.

Sheila share that this is not about her, this is about a real opportunity that simple does not exist for other people. Regardless if you simply need more leads, or you just want to build more personal wealth. Shelia share's her perspective why the EXP realty platform is the best option for any agent.
