001 Gary Ashton on Luck, Vision, Money, and the #1 RE/MAX Team in the World

Episode 001 of Real Estate Team OS features Gary Ashton, CEO and co-owner of The Ashton Real Estate Group of RE/MAX Advantage.

They’re the #1 RE/MAX team in Nashville, in Tennessee, in the US, and in the world - and have been for several consecutive years.

Listen to this episode of Team OS for Gary's insights into:

- The need for a tolerance for risk
- The relationship between luck, vision, and money
- The need to reinvest continually in your agents and your brand
- Why “the only time you start a team is when you have too many leads for yourself” (featuring a tennis ball machine metaphor)
- How the team ramps new agents with a 2.5-week bootcamp and how that helps each agent write offers faster and helps the entire team succeed as a group
- The role of their ISA team in a “relay race” that gives agents real opportunities (not just leads) and precludes the need to prospect (featuring a relay race metaphor)
- How Gary, Debra Beagle, and Jonny Lee pivoted when they became broker released
- Why they stayed with RE/MAX rather than going independent or joining another brand or franchise (featuring a train and carriage metaphor)
- Why the team model is so advantageous for everyone

At the end, you’ll also learn about watches, rhythm sections, documentaries, and road trips!
