In this episode, Templeton Walker sits down with Joel Kirsch, SVP of Growth at Real Brokerage, to unpack what's driving the fastest-growing brokerage in the nation. Joel shares how Real's platform, culture, and commitment to agent success are reshaping the industry-from indies and large teams to solo agents looking for more value and flexibility. They dive into growth, community, technology, and why so many leaders are making the move. If you're curious about the real reasons agents stay-and thrive-this episode brings the clarity.
