Next Level Agents: The Kevin & Fred Show - Interviews with the best and brightest minds in the real estate industry

Why Real Estate Agents Never Retire (And the 5 Financial Mistakes Keeping You Broke)


Listen Later

Real estate agents don't retire—they expire. It's a harsh reality that most of us know but rarely discuss. When was the last time you attended a real estate agent's retirement party? Exactly.


In this episode, Kevin Kauffman sits down with financial coach and transformation expert Matt Plumer to expose the brutal truth about why most agents never escape the transaction treadmill—and more importantly, how to build a real exit strategy.


Matt shares his incredible personal transformation story, going from 300 pounds, alcoholic, gambling addict, and $500k in debt to complete financial freedom in just five years. But here's the kicker: it all started with one simple decision about weight loss that created a domino effect transforming every area of his life.


Key Topics Covered:

  • Why focusing on gross commission income keeps you broke

  • The domino effect: how one decision can transform everything

  • The five financial mistakes that trap even high-earning agents

  • How to implement the "profit first" system in your real estate business

  • The uncomfortable exercise that reveals your true financial position

  • Real client success stories: from $10k monthly losses to $75k financial turnarounds

  • Why "saying it out loud" prevents bad financial decisions

  • The difference between compressing time vs. expanding time


    This isn't about making more money—it's about finally keeping the money you're already making. If you've ever felt like you're running on a financial treadmill that never stops, this episode will show you how to build the exit ramp.


    Ready to take control of your financial future? Your next level is waiting, but only if you're brave enough to face where you actually are today.
