What exactly do real estate agents and brokers sell? It sounds like a simple question. But the truth is actually a lot more complicated. Just ask Leighton Dees. He’s the CEO of Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Generations in Alabama. For Leighton, real estate isn’t about selling homes: it’s about selling yourself. Your process, your personality, the special sauce that makes your clients’ experiences amazing.
Leighton knows a thing or two about success in this business. He’s been in the top 15 percent of Better Homes agents for three years running, and his company was named Most Innovative Real Estate Brokerage by Inman News in 2014.
In this interview, Leighton tells us why the best real estate companies spend so much time thinking about culture, and explains how strong systems built on experience can protect your business when things don’t go according to plan.
