Want to start or scale a real estate team and actually make it profitable? In this masterclass, I sit down with Scott Kumlerโ192 closings last year and on pace for 220+ this yearโwhile 74% of agents havenโt closed a deal. Scott unpacks the exact systems, recruiting funnels, onboarding, training cadence, lead sources, performance management, and retention playbook that took him from 3 to 55 agents in two years.
We cover how to attract talent, retain top producers, increase sales volume & transaction count, build culture (even virtually), keep P&L margins healthy, and the big mistakes to avoidโplus the โdarker sideโ of being a team leader and how to navigate it.
What youโll learn
The step-by-step blueprint to go from solo โ team โ scalable organization
โ
A recruiting system using Indeed + social proof that consistently brings in quality agents
โ
A 30-day structured onboarding that agents actually complete (and how to track it)
โ
The retention stack: support availability, mentorship layers, culture events, expectations
โ
How to keep profitability while increasing value (leverage, affiliates, and spend discipline)
โ
Why doubling down on lead gen + AI tools in a down market wins market share
โ
When/why he moved to eXp and how the model solves the classic team-leader bottlenecks
The darker side of team building (burnout, churn, stolen leads) and how to prevent it

Great interview as always Mike! Many nuggets!
I think back on my reinstating my license when I met you and Connor 5 years agoโฆ
I was the exact definition of your favorite Rumi quote: โA man who chases two rabbits catches none.โ
I was a networker who wanted to build a team but I got distracted by how much money agents were making doing transactionsโฆ
A big part of me was missing and I didnโt realize it until a few weeks agoโฆ
Been through a lot of changes in the past 2 years but my Spirit knows where Home is! ๐บ๐บ๐บ
Always grateful to you my Little Brother/Mentor. ๐ช๐พ
P.S. I heard โLose Yourselfโ on the radio a few days ago and I literally lost my mind! ๐๐๐
See you back in about a monthโฆ ๐ฏ
