Growing a real estate business is a lot like growing plants: A small plant doesn’t need much to grow, but its demands rise exponentially the bigger it gets. This is why a lot of businesses can have a big growth spurt but end up being forced to scale back down because the growth was not sustainable. Scaling up may be expensive but being forced to scale down is costly.

Today, Don and Ryan share their secrets for achieving real growth in their real estate organizations and the strategies they use to expand their businesses. They share their insights into what any business owner needs to have to scale successfully as well as the type of challenges they have to be prepared for. They also discuss the different departments your business needs, the kind of spreadsheets you should be using, and how to determine how much one deal can cost you.
