What does it take to build a real estate business that wins at a high level without losing its heart? In this episode, we sit down with brothers Michael and James Hern, who sell more than 250 units a year and over $85 million in volume in the Kansas City metro. They share the four-part framework behind their success: serve first, do the basics better, build people, and stay consistent.

We dig into how their upbringing on a cattle farm shaped their work ethic, their father influenced the way they lead, and early-learned lessons still show up in their business today. Michael breaks down the simple habits that keep his pipeline moving, while James explains how they recruit for culture and turn income goals into a real plan.

This conversation is full of practical ideas for any agent who wants to grow production, lead people well, and build a business that lasts. If we want to create more opportunity for our clients, our teams, and our families, this episode gives us a strong model to follow.

What would it take to build a real estate team agents never want to leave?

In this conversation, we sit down with Chase Delperdang and Jenny Adams, two leaders who have built a high-performing team with remarkable retention across multiple markets. Their business closes at a high level, but what stands out most is how deeply they care for the people inside it.

Together, they break down the models they use to hire with intention, protect culture, coach to the person, and lead with steady, consistent care. We talk about why the right hiring process matters, how weekly service shapes team culture, and why accountability works best when it’s tied to a person’s own goals.

This is not a conversation about building a revolving-door team. It’s a conversation about building a place where people feel seen, supported, challenged, and inspired to stay.

If we want stronger teams, better leadership, and a business people are proud to be part of, this episode gives us a clear path forward.

We’re joined by Erica Deuschle, a powerhouse agent out of the Philadelphia Main Line who has built a $215 million business on one simple idea: care more than anyone else.

Erica and her team close more than 420 units a year, over 90 percent from repeat and referral. No gimmicks. No shortcuts. Just a relentless commitment to relationships, service, and showing up in people’s lives when it matters most.

In this conversation, we break down exactly how she does it. Erica shares the systems behind the heart, from anticipating client needs before they arise, to using Facebook as a real-time relationship tracker, to hosting a 350-person client event that fuels her entire ecosystem.

This isn't a theory. This is a proven model for building a business that grows on its own because people feel it.

If you’ve ever wondered how to create a referral-based business at scale, this is your roadmap.
