Curtis Johnson has been running a real estate team for 26 years. He's sold 200+ homes annually for 23 consecutive years straight. Hit 100 million in production this year. And he's got a message that might make you uncomfortable: You're not struggling because the market is hard. You're struggling because you're distracted. Most agents are trying to do everything. Open houses one day. Expired calls the next. Door knocking. Social media. AI experiments. Crypto on the side. No depth. No mastery. No results. Curtis breaks down why picking two or three activities and going deep is the only path to consistent production. But here's where it gets uncomfortable: He also explains how high price points are hiding your lack of work ethic. Agents selling 8-10 homes a year feel successful because commissions are fat. Drop prices back to pre-inflation levels and half of you would be broke. You're not great. The market is just carrying you. This conversation is packed with hard truths about focus, credibility, reverse engineering your goals, and why most agents are building noise instead of results. Key themes we cover: The two-to-three rule: Why trying more than three lead generation activities guarantees you'll fail How to build credibility before you amplify your brand through social media and AI Why you should reverse engineer from your goal backward instead of from where you are forward The honest truth about teams versus building an EXP organization in today's market What it actually takes to lead something significant and why most people aren't willing to pay the price Why high home prices are masking incompetence across the industry How to know if you're scattered or strategic with your daily activities If you're tired of dabbling and ready to dominate, Curtis lays out exactly what separates producers from pretenders. No fluff. No BS. Just 26 years of battle-tested wisdom. Ready to stop being distracted and start building something real?
