Success in real estate doesn't need to mean sacrificing your peace, your family, or your faith.Listen as I share my story on the Life at Ten Tenths podcast. We unpack how I built a 650-home, referral-driven real estate business without cold calling, open houses, or buying leads—while protecting my marriage, family time, and faith.Huge thank you to my friends at Life at Ten Tenths for having me on! Check them out here: https://www.lifeattentenths.com/Key TakeawaysIdentity isn't a backpack: Your faith and values aren't something you take on and off—lead with the real you.Redefine success: Don't wear the industry's scorecard; include profit, marriage, family rhythms, and rest in how you “keep score.”Hierarchy of attention: God → spouse → kids → work. Give the best of your attention to what matters most.Build for probability, not possibility: Create simple systems you can execute 90–100% of the time—even when life happens.Taste and tweak: Run “recipes” for 30 days, then iterate. Did you do all the ingredients? Did the result match the goal?Community is a business moat: People have fewer close relationships than ever—be a real friend and referrals follow.Authenticity attracts: You won't be for everyone, and that's the point.

Are you being sold a lie about the brokerage business model? Before you think about starting a brokerage or building a real estate team, you must see the financial trap that most agents fall into. The traditional brokerage model is broken, and the recent Keller Williams private equity deal is the final proof.In this episode, Me (Aaron Novello) and Jose Luiz Morales give you the "tough love" truth about the real estate industry's massive consolidation. Most agents, driven by ego, follow a path that leads to negligible 5-10% profit margins, massive overhead, and high liability. We break down the real reason why legacy brands are being sold off and why the cloud brokerage model (eXp Realty) was created to solve this exact problem.This is the urgent warning every real estate team leader and ambitious agent needs to hear.Stop following a broken path. Here's what we cover:✅ The massive difference between a 50/50 split and a modern brokerage business model. ✅ Why your real estate team is just a smaller, less profitable version of a brokerage. ✅ The real playbook: What the Keller Williams private equity firm will do to extract value from agents (hint: your fees). ✅ How the cloud brokerage model eliminates the two biggest expenses that kill your profit: staff and space. ✅ A challenge to the "pride and ego" that stops agents from seeing the financial truth.Don't be the one doing 800 units just to make a million bucks. It's time to rethink everything you've been taught about "success" in real estate.

Most Realtors disappear after the closing. But the truth? That's when the real opportunity begins.In this episode, Jeremy Kane breaks down the Annual Review Strategy — a repeatable system that transforms homeowners into investors. By sitting down with your clients once a year to review equity, financing, insurance, improvements, and wealth goals, you don't just earn repeat business… you build lifelong investor relationships.

Episode Overview In this powerhouse episode that is originally streamed 7 months ago, John Kitchens, Jay Kinder, and Al Stasek dive deep into the future of real estate leadership, the evolution of brokerage models, and what the next 18 months will look like for the industry. From Keller Williams' latest strategic moves to the unstoppable rise of EXP Realty, the crew unpacks the business lessons, market realities, and leadership frameworks that define success in a rapidly changing market.

What You'll Learn in This Episode The Future of Real Estate Leadership Why your moat—the defensibility of your business model—will determine survival in the next 18 months.

“Secret agents don't get found, and closed mouths don't get fed.” It's more than a catchphrase; it's a survival strategy for today's market.  In an environment where inventory is scarce, clients are cautious, and other agents are everywhere, invisibility will keep you from earning more.  If you aren't proactively creating opportunities, asking for business, and showing up where consumers are, you'll get overlooked every time. That's why differentiation isn't a luxury; it's the core of winning in real estate right now.  And the sharpest ways to position yourself apart from the competition aren't the ones most agents think about.  Social media isn't just a branding tool; it's a live feed of consumer behavior. AI isn't a toy; it can turn one bad listing photo into a winning expired pitch.  Consistency isn't boring; it's the edge that compounds when your competitors give up. So how do you stop being invisible in this market? How can you create a blue ocean strategy for yourself?  I was featured on Knolly Williams' Success With Listings Podcast, and we discussed what it really takes to succeed in real estate today.    Things You'll Learn In This Episode  Social media as real-time consumer intelligence Clients reveal their needs online every day. How can you use their digital footprints to update your CRM, build trust, and stay two steps ahead of competitors? The 2006 wake-up call that changed everything When consumer internet use jumped from 2% to 80%, agents who ignored it disappeared. How do you make sure you're showing up where buyers and sellers are actually looking today? AI as your expired-listing superpower You can use a custom GPT to take one photo, generate staging recommendations, and create “after” images in minutes. How can you turn AI into a unique selling proposition that wins listings your competitors overlook? The adoption gap = your blue ocean Only 15% of adults use ChatGPT, and even fewer pay for Plus. How does this low adoption create a massive competitive edge for the agents who lean in now?   Guest Bio Knolly Williams, known as "The Business Healer," is a bestselling author, international speaker, and real estate broker who specializes in helping homeowners sell smarter and coaching real estate agents to build thriving businesses with less stress.
