Level Up - From Agent to Entrepreneur

The Leadership Level-Up: How to Go From 3 Agents to 25 w/ Anthwon Thomas


Listen Later

Five years ago, Anthwon Thomas had a small, scrappy real estate team of just 2 or 3 people. No leverage, just hustle, heart, and a belief that more was possible. 

Fast forward to today, and that same small operation has grown into a thriving team of 20 to 25 agents. They’re not just holding steady in a tough market. They’re outpacing it. 

While many agents and teams have seen production shrink by 10 to 15%, Anthwon’s team has increased its production by 47%. 

So, how does that kind of transformation happen? What does it take to go from solo hustler to true team leader? 

In Anthwon’s journey, there are lessons every agent and aspiring team leader can learn about what it means to level up. Because it’s not just about adding agents, it’s about building a culture where people can thrive. 

It’s about systems, standards, and structure. It’s about showing up not just as a top producer, but as a coach, a guide, and an example. 

In this episode, Anthwon opens up about the mindset shifts, leadership challenges, and personal growth it took to go from agent to owner. 

 

In our market, sales have been dropping 10-15% year-over-year. Since 2022, we have increased our production by 47%. -Anthwon Thomas
