Phillip Cantrell, founder of Benchmark Realty (2,000 agents with $5 billion in sales), shares his blueprint for building a massive fee-based brokerage from the ground up, starting with one desk in his living room. A self-professed "98% left brain" analytical thinker, he discusses overcoming a career-crushing failure in 2008, the crucial concept of "the power in the pause," and his philosophical core: money is the scoreboard of service to others. He offers unvarnished advice for anyone considering selling their business.
