    Four years ago, I created a simple weekly system for managing my real estate sales team. It’s just one email—but it’s been the best “sales manager” we’ve ever had. In this episode, I break down how that system works, how it helps us manage agent performance without micromanaging, and why it’s been the biggest time-saver in our business.

    If you’re a team leader looking to scale without losing your sanity, this is a must-listen.

  • Stop Guessing Your Ideal Real Estate Team Size
    Apr 10 2025

    Most real estate team leaders are guessing when it comes to how many agents they actually need to reach their income and profit goals. In this episode, Christian Subbs breaks down the exact formula he used to scale Onyx Homes to over 700 homes sold and $650M+ in volume in just 5 years—without burning out or bleeding cash.

    You’ll learn:

    • The benchmark GCI you should expect per agent
    • Why separating your own production from the team’s is critical
    • How to calculate your ideal (and minimum) team size using real numbers
    • The biggest mistake most team leaders make when scaling
    • Why relying on “superstar” agents isn’t a scalable strategy

    If you’re tired of growing by gut feeling and want to build a profitable, sustainable real estate business, this episode is for you.
