It’s a fact: the recruiting practices you use when building your team will determine the quality and compatibility of the talent you attract – and therefore how much money you make. Because if real estate is all about population and growth, running a brokerage is about just one thing – having quality people to sell more houses.

Emily Kettenburg has been in real estate for 30 years, and today she’s helping thousands of teams recruit thousands of agents. Chris Giannos is the CEO of Humanize.io, and he’s created a system for helping teams recruit for the level of success he’s achieved.

On this episode of the podcast, I’m talking to these two champions of the industry about the best recruiting practices for real estate agents, how to identify talent, and the onboarding strategies that create a winning team.
