The Simple Psychology of Real Estate Recruiting (Second Edition) Now Available

by | Mar 16, 2026

I’m excited to announce the release of the second edition of our e-book, The Simple Psychology of Real Estate Recruiting. 

Over the past several years, we’ve had the opportunity to work with brokerage leaders across the country who are all trying to solve the same problem:

How to consistently attract and retain talented agents in an increasingly competitive market.

It’s become very clear that recruiting is not primarily a script problem or a marketing problem.

It’s a psychological problem.

In this updated edition, we’ve taken the psychological principles from the original book (our most downloaded resource ever) and turned them into a repeatable recruiting system that leaders can apply immediately.

The book introduces practical frameworks for building trust, lowering a candidate’s fear of change, diagnosing the real reasons agents consider moving, and guiding conversations that turn acquaintances into hires.

If you’re responsible for growing an office or building a recruiting culture, this is an essential handbook for becoming a trusted architect of their career growth.

Download your copy now, and up your recruiting game in the weeks ahead.

 

The Simple Psychology of Real Estate Recruiting [2nd Edition]

Unlock the secrets of effective real estate recruiting. Revised to include actionable frameworks for sharper execution and to help you turn psychological theory into a repeatable recruiting system.

The Attrition Variables

The Attrition Variables

While these attrition constants still have the greatest influence, there are some emerging attrition variables worth noting. People also tend to leave companies when: They feel like they’re not doing as well as others in their peer group outside the company. They feel like they’re not as far along as they should be at a certain point in life.

The Attrition Constants

The Attrition Constants

If you’re not focusing most of your retention effort on these issues, you’ll miss the mark. If you’re not focusing most of your recruiting effort on exploiting these weaknesses among your competitors, you’re missing the best opportunities.

The Persistence Mindset

The Persistence Mindset

A leader equipped with this mindset can have a profound effect on the life and career of each individual they engage. It works because an agent is getting a real-time glimpse of what it would be like to work on your team. But it only becomes believable when it is persistently applied over time.
