Want to start or scale a real estate team and actually make it profitable? In this masterclass, I sit down with Scott Kumlerโ€”192 closings last year and on pace for 220+ this yearโ€”while 74% of agents havenโ€™t 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 avoidโ€”plus the โ€œdarker sideโ€ of being a team leader and how to navigate it.

What youโ€™ll learn

The step-by-step blueprint to go from solo โ†’ team โ†’ scalable organization
โœ… A recruiting system using Indeed + social proof that consistently brings in quality agents
โœ… A 30-day structured onboarding that agents actually complete (and how to track it)
โœ… The retention stack: support availability, mentorship layers, culture events, expectations
โœ… How to keep profitability while increasing value (leverage, affiliates, and spend discipline)
โœ… Why doubling down on lead gen + AI tools in a down market wins market share
โœ… 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 agoโ€ฆ

    I was the exact definition of your favorite Rumi quote: โ€œA 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 transactionsโ€ฆ

    A big part of me was missing and I didnโ€™t realize it until a few weeks agoโ€ฆ

    Been through a lot of changes in the past 2 years but my Spirit knows where Home is! ๐Ÿบ๐Ÿบ๐Ÿบ

    Always grateful to you my Little Brother/Mentor. ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿพ

    P.S. I heard โ€œLose Yourselfโ€ on the radio a few days ago and I literally lost my mind! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

    See you back in about a monthโ€ฆ ๐Ÿ’ฏ
