Today I'm talking to John Richardson, a top real estate agent with ONE Sotheby's International Realty in Ponte Vedra and Northeast Florida and a coaching client with BreakthroughLuxury. John got his real estate license less than 3 years ago. Today his sales are in the tens of millions annually. His average sales price is close to $1,500,000, 6 times the average sales price in his market. In the first quarter of this year, he was at the same volume in sales he closed in all of last year.
John shares his mindset, tangible steps that have created his success. He tells us his stories and brings us in to relive them. John brings us back to the days before real estate when he says he didn't and couldn't have imagined his success now. He shares the moments and struggles from the start, questioning if he could or couldn't really make it in this business. He shares the triumphs and challenges he continues to overcome in his success today as he and I talk about 'How to Break-in, Exceed Your Goals, and Grow in Luxury Real Estate'.

Today I'm talking to Dean Jones, Founder, Owner, and CEO of Realogics Sotheby's International Realty.
Dean’s former development firm, T. Jones, Inc., was nationally recognized as the "Development Firm of the Year" by the Pillars of Industry in 2001. In 2003, the National Association of Home Builders named Dean "Marketing Director of the Year."
Upon founding Realogics Inc., Dean served as an advisor to third-party developments, with his firm being the catalyst for more than $2 billion in project sales, earning his portfolio of clients over 130 sales and marketing awards.
In 2010, Dean founded and continues to lead Realogics Sotheby's International Realty, overseeing more than 325 real estate brokers and staff across six offices. These offices consistently rank among the top-producing brokerage offices in their markets.
In the seven consecutive years following the founding of Realogics Sotheby's International Realty, the firm was awarded among the "Fastest Growing Private Companies" in Washington state by the Puget Sound Business Journal. Though boutique, the full-service brokerage ranks in the top 10 largest in the Puget Sound region.
In today’s conversation, Dean and I discuss the ups and downs of the real estate markets, and the key to thinking outside the box and staying ahead of the curve to achieve success both now and for the long term.

Today I’m talking to Amanda Howard, The Amanda Howard of Amanda Howard Sotheby’s International Realty of Huntsville Alabama.

Today I’m talking to Robbie Briggs, Founder and former CEO of the top luxury brokerage in Dallas Texas, Briggs Sotheby’s International Realty.
Robbie walks us, with full transparency, through his journey to the top where he remained steadily for a few decades until a sudden near crash. The near crash that was reality for Robbie is one that remains only in the worst nightmares for most entrepreneurs. It was through sheer faith, focus and action that positioned Brigg’s Sotheby’s, in the end, in its most profitable position since its founding.
Robbie gets real, shares on the ground examples and goes deep as he and I talk about Building a Real Estate Empire and Transforming Adversity to Advantage Along the Way.
