Success doesn’t happen by chance. It takes more than talent—it requires a team that consistently shows up, day in and day out, aligned with a shared vision of collective success. Yet, creating this level of synergy and commitment can feel impossible without the right framework.

Building a billion-dollar real estate team isn’t just about effort—it’s about strategy, leadership, and culture. It’s about fostering a mindset of ownership across every member of your team and implementing systems that drive results consistently. 

When you create an environment where everyone is aligned, engaged, and showing up with purpose, growth becomes inevitable.

What systems should we have in place to ensure everyone is moving toward the same goal? What stops us from unlocking the potential for exponential growth?

Top 1.5% Broker Nationwide and co-founder of Vesta Preferred Realty Grigory Pekarsky joins me to talk about what it takes to make a billion dollar team and why success for one in the team means success for all. We also talk about why Chicago is one of the best cities to invest in.

 

If you buy correctly and know where and what to look for, there will always be opportunity. -Grigory Pekarsky
