Owner of The Rich McCarron Team at eXp Realty
If you are thinking about making the move to eXp Realty, or maybe even joining our Team or another team, it's important to know who you are aligning with and taking "advice" from!
I started as an independent agent and built a team to leverage in order to create more time for myself and my family. It wasn't easy and it wasn't without mistakes. What I learned from great mentors, like Lars Hedenborg and his Team at REBS, was that it takes focus and energy to not only grow, but to sustain in these crazy times in our real estate world. I learned the value of leaning on others, and I am passionate about helping other agents grow and become truly successful in this industry.

Here's why...
On the following Monday, I went back to the office with a renewed energy. I met with my manager again and I asked him how many homes the top agent in the office sells, and he told me that she (as a solo agent) sells about 75 homes a year. I also remember him telling me, "don't set your goals too high" and "you're setting yourself up for failure trying to do that volume" (insert management fail meme). Well... I was determined and I made myself a business plan to sell 75 homes in my first year.
The formation of my team allowed me to use the talents of similarly minded people I was already in business with, and leverage my time back. I was no longer doing all the showings, answering all of the calls, or chasing down crappy internet leads all by myself. I was happy to get more of my time back while still making more money than I ever made as a police officer.

Have You Ever Asked Yourself Questions Like These?
I ask, because there’s quite a bit of misleading information out there in terms of growing your real estate sales business. Most traditional real estate coaching programs teach you how to sell more homes no matter what the consequences are in your personal life. And you end up working more hours to serve the increased demands of your business.
It’s a formula that doesn’t work if you want to have a life outside of real estate.
