21: 420 Agents, Two States, One Lesson: Brent Conley on Scaling a Brokerage and Finding a Smarter Path
The Sherri Johnson Show
What does it take to go from stuffing flyers at 8 years old to leading a 420-agent brokerage—and then walking away to build something even bigger?
In this episode, Sherri sits down with Brent Conley, real estate veteran with over 25 years of experience as an agent, team leader, and brokerage owner. Brent built one of Arizona's most dominant independent brands, Solutions Real Estate, grew it to over 420 agents, sold to Century 21, and ultimately found a better path through eXp Realty. He's built an organization of 1,800+ agents across every state and multiple countries—and he's sharing exactly how he did it.
You’ll Learn:
- The notepad farming strategy that keeps your brand top-of-mind long after you've knocked the door
- Why "omnipresence" is the real secret to dominating your farm area
- What team leaders are doing wrong right now—and the belly-to-belly approach that rebuilds culture fast
- How to identify your personality type and build a lead gen plan around your strengths
- Why your database is your Continuous Referral Machine (and how to finally fix it)
