Your Interview Framework Needs an Upgrade

by | May 20, 2026

The latest Agent Migration Report demonstrates how difficult it is for most agents to produce consistently.

Closing just one transaction per quarter doesn’t make an agent a top performer!

In reality, a much smaller group of high performers is responsible for the majority of transactions, while everyone else struggles to gain traction.
