Today on the RealTrending podcast, we’re bringing you a special crossover episode with the Power House podcast!
Last week, HousingWire president Diego Sanchez sat down with Michele Harrington, the CEO of FirstTeam Real Estate out of Orange County, California. Michele started her career in the Marine Corps, but after being stationed in Orange County, she not only fell in love with the beauty of Southern California, but she also got bit by the entrepreneurial bug. Now, she leads California’s largest independent brokerage.
Michele and Diego talk about what sets FirstTeam apart from other brokerages and the recruitment strategies that are helping them surpass their goal of $1 billion in recruited teams. They also talk about empowering women in leadership positions and their plans to expand outside of California, while maintaining their “fortress” inside the state.
Here’s a glimpse of what you’ll learn:
Women hold only 26% of leadership positions in real estate, despite being a majority of agents.
Empowering women to pursue leadership roles is crucial for the growth of the industry.
Their recruitment strategies focus on training new agents and placing them in existing teams.
First Team is on track to surpass $1 billion in recruited teams this year.
The company aims for organic growth by expanding into adjacent markets.
Michelle's upcoming book emphasizes the importance of self-discipline in achieving success.
