What makes a real estate team successful?
Aside from the ability to generate leads and convert them into successful and profitable deals, high-performing teams must also be able to track their metrics consistently, be flexible with the changing market conditions, and remain focused on the goals of the organization.
However, when it comes to determining how well a team performs, there is one key element that always comes into play – its people.
Real estate is a people business. And for it to be truly successful, team leaders and owners must also concentrate on improving the lives of those within the team.

About the guest:
Growing up, Jake Rockwell had always been kind of an entrepreneur. In 2004, he started an e-commerce company selling pet products and billiards products to different websites online. He built that company up and it ended up becoming one of the top billiards online retailers in the country.
Three years later, right before the market crashed in ‘07, he sold that company for a couple of million dollars. However, due to some bad decisions he made and the unhealthy lifestyle he had, he ran out and financially crashed after about five or six years.
Then he saw a friend who was successful in real estate and decided to try it for himself. He got his real estate license and was determined to give it his best. He went to the office to make calls and lead generate every day and ended up selling 36 homes in his first year.
Although he has achieved considerable success in the industry, Jake realized that it was taking up too much of his time. To get some of that time back for his family, he started hiring an assistant/buyer’s agent. His team continued to grow until he had 10 agents. Three years later he ended up leaving their brokerage and opening up their own.
Today, Jake Rockwell is a Principal Broker and Owner of Rockwell Real Estate Group | eXp Realty, which is an innovative and technology-driven real estate company with a powerful team approach.

Real estate is a fast-paced, constantly-changing industry and it can be challenging for some to stay on top.
And in order to keep up or even outpace the competition, one would think that they might need to spend all their time working in the business.
Using automation can be the answer to streamlining some of the tedious tasks that comes with running a real estate business. By using technology, agents can free up more time for themselves and spend it on building relationships with clients to move their business forward.
Brian Charlesworth joins Justin Benson, CEO & Principal at the Bara Agency, as they talk about Justin’s journey from being a computer nerd to building real estate teams from the ground up. They also discuss how his company is helping entrepreneurs implement automation strategies to put more time back in their hands so they can spend it on what matters most.

About the guest:
Justin Benson was always interested in technology and seeing what he can accomplish or solve with it. Back in high school, instead of going to vacations like his friends did, he would spend money on taking computer classes and building his own stuff.
In college, Justin tried to deviate from the path by getting a biochemistry degree. But eventually he got cold feet, pulled the plug, and started his own IT company that built cloud storage. He and his partner ended up selling the business to a smaller IT Company, who is now known as Dropbox.
Justin then decided to get into real estate when a friend casually asked him about building a real estate team. So instead of taking a month off for his honeymoon, he spent it getting a real estate license and proceeded to build his team.
Today, Justin Bara is the founder and leader of the Bara Agency. He has helped build hundreds of teams from the ground up, sold hundreds of houses, and created custom technology, systems, and strategies that their clients needed to scale along the way.

About the guest:
At 22, Brett Tanner was flipping homes and was having a blast. He especially loved the investment side of it. But reading the book Rich Dad, Poor Dad changed the way he thought about everything, and he realized he wanted to be in real estate.
Brett always looked at investments and retail as two separate businesses. Yet soon, he discovered that these played together well, and he didn’t understand why agents weren’t doing both.
Because of Brett's early success in real estate sales and investments, he was able to pursue more significant opportunities, which helped build the foundation for what is now Tanner Cap. In addition, his drive for perfection and desire to improve the client experience catalyzed him to establish and manage business operations in the real estate sector.
As Tanner Capital Holdings' operational partner, Brett has updated the family office approach to management and company expansion. As a result, Brett has accumulated his three greatest strengths—operational excellence, linear execution, and wealth management—under the Tanner Cap brand.
Today, Brett is in high demand as a national speaker and mentor in various industries focusing on entrepreneurship, business growth, and leadership.

Episode 119: What it Means to be a Team-Centric Brokerage with Ron Rocz
Tuesday Oct 25, 2022
Tuesday Oct 25, 2022
Some say that the traditional brokerage is no longer sufficient, as teams are becoming the new standard for success. That’s why more and more people are adopting the team model to offer more opportunities for agents both professionally and financially.
While others say that brokerages are fighting back by shifting to a “teamerage” model where they are able to operate as a team while its compensation and support structure is still similar to that of a brokerage.
And to have a better understanding of where things currently stand and how to best prepare for what lies ahead, it’s best to get valuable insights from someone who owns a brokerage and runs a team as well.
Brian Charlesworth joins Ron Rocz, Broker and Owner at RE/MAX Nexus, as Ron provides an interesting take on the real estate market both from a brokerage and a team perspective, and what people should be doing today to thrive in this market.

It is crucial always to know your place and your vocation. For example, a great agent does not need to be part of a 200-agent team. Just because a team has 200 agents does not automatically mean the company is better than yours. Therefore, it is essential to know your strengths and engage in self-evaluation.
Brian Charlesworth joins Ryan O'Neill, The founder of the Minnesota Real Estate Team of RE/MAX Advantage Plus. In 2021, the team closed over 2200 transactions and 750 million in sales. With almost 200 agents, the team continues to be the Number 1 Selling Real Estate Team in Minnesota every year from 2006 through today.
Among the most crucial pieces of advice, Ryan emphasizes how he always encourages his agents, partners, and people to focus on what they can control daily. In addition, according to him, one of the most common problems that can affect performance is overthinking, which leads to a lack of confidence in being bold and taking action.
So, the more we focus on the efforts we put forth daily, rather than worrying about the noise, meaning the media, market conditions, and predictions, the better. This is what will make a difference in the long run.
Tune in to learn about the current real estate space and how you can maintain a strong position using Ryan’s insights.
Top Takeaways:
(2:32) What actions can help you become different in the market?
(4:54) The changes in the current market
(5:44) How does fear affects production?
(7:47) The traditional team model and the 50-50 split.
(9:30) How are radio shows attracting more agents?
(12:51) Working in the business vs. working on the business.

(19:59) How to hold your agents accountable
(22:27) Advice for team leaders on how to grow in the current market

The journey to success in building a real estate team is never a straight line. Some start off in a conventional manner, while others take on a more interesting path.
And whatever path you choose for yourself, you’re bound to encounter failures along the way.

About the guest:
Trey Willard graduated from LSU in 2007 and went to School for Business Communications and Technical Sales. He thought he’d be selling medical devices at that time, but then he realized that knocking on doors and getting in front of people wasn’t his thing.
Then a friend of his who was growing his real estate business decided to hire him as an executive administrative assistant. Two and a half months later, he got his own real estate license. In his first year with Keller Wiliams, he became Rookie of the Year and sold 33 houses.
In 2017, Trey decided to build his own team. However, this proved to be a painful experience as he watched his business account dwindle away. This became his wake-up call to start changing how he does things.
Fast forward to 2020, Trey hired a listing coordinator who eventually became his Operations Director. This is when his business started to take off.
Last year, Trey’s team sold 334 units amounting to $91 million in production. This year, they’ve already closed 367 units, with 61 pending, which equates to $126 million year-to-date.

About the guest:
When Mike Novak graduated high school, he got into the construction industry with his father who was a builder. That quickly turned into real estate development where they built condominium projects and a lot of single-family homes.
However, when the recession hit in 2008, their company suffered major losses and setbacks like most builders did. He lost almost $7 million of his own personal cash and holdings in that crash. What was left was a single-location bar and grill restaurant to keep him afloat.
From 2008 to 2017, Mike was able to grow the restaurant into seven locations, with over 400 employees, raking in $17 million a year in volume.
Unfortunately, in 2016, a law was passed to change the minimum wage in Washington space and he believed that was the nail in the coffin for their real estate business. They needed to have a backup plan real quick. That’s when he decided to get his real estate license.
Today, Mike Novak is the Team Leader and Top Agent of the Novak Team. He also ranks the #1 Real Estate Agent in all of Snohomish County for 2020 and 2021. Mike is considered a leading-edge thought leader in the Real Estate space and has been nationally recognized for his work with marketing, processes, and business track record throughout the industry.

It can be tough to move on from being a top-producing real estate agent to becoming a team owner or business leader. After all, you've likely found a formula for success that works for you, and stepping out of production can feel like a risk.
Yet, when you’re in production, it’s easy to get bogged down with the day-to-day transactions that you get sidetracked in achieving your goals for the team.
As a leader, you need to step back, look at the big picture, and stay laser-focused on your long-term vision and objectives. And to scale your real estate business and take it to the next level, you need to surround yourself with the right people and have the right systems in place.
