In this power-packed episode of Rethink Real Estate, host Ben Brady sits down with Tina Caul, Founder & Chief Visionary of Caul Group Residential powered by eXp Realty. From closing 130 personal deals a year to stepping completely out of production, Tina shares how she built one of eXp's top three teams nationwide—without being a slave to her phone or her calendar. With over 70 agents and a leadership structure that rivals most brokerages, she unpacks what it really means to scale a business with leverage.Tina gets candid about her breaking point, the mistakes she made building her first team, and the moment she realized that leadership isn't about doing everything yourself—it's about creating systems that outlast people. She explains the frameworks that saved her sanity, including EOS and Working Genius, and gives a behind-the-scenes look at the math, mindset, and staffing it takes to build a profitable, high-volume machine in a market where agents are dropping like flies.Plus, hear why she intentionally shrunk her team, how she determines agent profitability, and why she believes most real estate “freedom” is a myth. This one's for the solo agent considering their first hire and the seasoned leader wondering why their team feels like chaos.Timestamps & Key Topics:[00:01:27] – From 130 Deals to None: Tina's Leverage-First Mindset[00:04:41] – What Makes or Breaks a Real Estate Team Leader[00:06:06] – How the Working Genius Model Changed Her Business[00:10:41] – The Mistake Most Team Leaders Make with Their First Hire[00:12:27] – Scaling Without Burnout: Tina's Daily Life Now[00:17:01] – Building Roles vs. Building Around People[00:21:00] – Market Insights from the Raleigh Triangle & Beyond

Okay, y'all… Episode 300 is HERE. Cue the confetti cannons and the alpacas! (Yes, there's an alpaca and a camel story in this episode and no, we're not kidding.) For this milestone episode, we knew we wanted to bring you something special—and what better way than to finally get the one and only Laura Buck Smith behind the mic! Laura has been on our dream guest list for a very long time because she's the one person we trust to honestly and openly talk about something we've never been able to teach on from experience: building and running a real estate team.

And the truth is… there are so many misconceptions out there. This episode is packed with real talk, systems, and yes—Laura's incredible mix of structure and heart. Here's what we chat about in this episode: How Laura got into real estate and never worked solo What it was like building her team from the ground up The three-tier structure she uses for agents What really goes into leading 25 team members (without losing your mind) How they handle leads, admin, training, open houses, and more The five interviews (yes, FIVE) and 90-day probation period for new team members How they expanded into Alabama (spoiler: Stephen made it happen in a week!) Why team culture and consistency are non-negotiable The honest truth about when you're ready—or not ready—to lead a team Whether you've thought about building a team or you just want to learn how a well-oiled machine operates, this episode is packed with value, encouragement, and behind-the-scenes gems. We're so thankful to Laura for showing up and sharing it all—systems, stories, boundaries, and all the heart behind what they've built at Team Smith.

Episode Overview: In this powerhouse episode, John Kitchens sits down with long-time EXP leader and real estate operator Jon Harp to unpack the 7 foundational components every real estate team must master to scale sustainably in today's shifting market—and into the future. From defining your business sandbox to forming high-trust affiliate partnerships, Jon breaks down the exact steps his team used to become the #1 EXP team in Ohio by units and volume. Whether you're trying to grow beyond 10 agents or escape production completely, this episode delivers a clear and proven path. Key Takeaways: Define Your Sandbox Choose how you want to win—leads, sphere, open houses, or prospecting Build a model that aligns with your strengths and scales predictably “You're best equipped to serve the person you once were.” Admin & Support Structure Prioritize the right kind of help based on your business model Use time and energy audits to figure out what to delegate Your first hire isn't always a TC—know what drains you most Coaching Align your coach with your sandbox and long-term goals Coaching should reveal blind spots and collapse time “Don't fight your coach. You're paying them to help you win faster.” Affiliate Partnerships Choose partners who align with your growth model—not just any lender or title rep Look for mutual belief systems and shared investment in success “Your affiliate should not be creating calls I have to take from my agents.” CRM Systems Consistency > complexity Pick a system your team can grow with and train into “The best CRM is the one your agents will actually use.” Buyer & Seller Presentations Great presentations aren't for your best agents—they're for your worst Templates create consistent results and build agent confidence “A proven process is one of the top things people actually buy.” Recruiting If you want scale, you must recruit consistently—unicorns leave Think in terms of lifetime agent value, not just this year's production “If you're not recruiting, you're just waiting to get hit.” Bonus Concepts: Why team “quicksand” happens between 7–12 agents The secret to making your support hires in the right order Presentations as a tool to help your least confident agents win What top teams understand about lifetime client AND agent value Resources Mentioned: Good to Great by Jim Collins Buy Back Your Time by Dan Martell Time & Energy Audit Framework (Dan Martell) Rory Vaden's Interview on The Ed Mylett Show JohnKitchens.coach “Problems never go away—they just change.
