What if the real problem in this industry is how many brokerages there are? In this episode of Real Estate Insiders Unfiltered, Jesse Garcia, founder of Maverick Real Estate, entrepreneur, team leader, and technology founder, reveals the statement that most people in the industry are afraid to say. “There shouldn’t be many intermediaries.”
After building the financial operating system used by brokerages, Garcia took a behind-the-scenes look at how many financial institutions actually operate and why some shouldn’t. What he saw completely changed his perspective.
Garcia details what agents really need, why collaboration is more important than division, and why most hiring models are completely missing the point.
If you’ve ever had doubts about your brokerage or wondered what a better model looks like, this episode will change your way of thinking.
