From Lone Wolves to Legacy Builders: Why These Top Agents Are Choosing To Lead Together #42
In Episode 42 of Success Behind The Numbers, I sit down with Raymond Mo, Paul Zhou, and Joe Bencivenga — three powerhouse agents from Keller Williams who are shaping the future of real estate with culture, collaboration, and a serious commitment to growth. 🏙️🎙️
This episode is all about synergy: how three very different agents found common ground, built something bigger than themselves, and created a team that prioritizes transparency, mentorship, and legacy. From their early days in the business to the strategies that keep them moving forward, we unpack what it really means to lead in a high-pressure market without losing your values.
We talk team dynamics, personal reinvention, market insights, and the bigger mission behind every deal. Whether you’re new to the business or looking to build a rock-solid team culture, this episode is filled with real talk and sharp takeaways from the front lines.
