What does it take to build a real estate business that creates more than your next commission?

In this episode of the BGRE Podcast, Brandon sits down with Rick Saba and Tristan O’Grady, longtime Hilton Head Island residents and owners of a real estate team generating more than $300 million in annual sales. They share the story behind COAST brokered by eXp, why they chose eXp, and what drove them to rethink the traditional real estate model.

Rick and Tristan share how that decision led them to build a business with local roots and global reach—and why culture, collaboration, and access to the right people have been central to that journey.

They also dive into building wealth beyond transactions through revenue share and stock ownership, and thinking about what your business will provide when you’re ready to stop selling.

If you’re an agent looking to grow your business, find the right community, or build a future beyond commissions, this episode offers a closer look at what that can look like in practice.

Brandon and Evan also get into the importance of finding a niche, setting clear expectations around buyer agency and commissions, and using the opportunities you see as an agent to begin building wealth through real estate ownership.

They also share more about their own investments and development projects, how they identify opportunities in the Hilton Head market, and the thinking behind turning those opportunities into long-term assets and new sources of value.

From making more calls and getting more reps to becoming more intentional with your time, your market, and your money, this episode is packed with practical lessons for agents looking to build a stronger business and create wealth beyond the transaction.
