Kara Hinshaw, a real estate whiz and owner of Key Associates Signature Realty, chats with Nick about going from running a small-town brokerage in Santa Claus, Indiana, to heading a booming business with 65 agents closing 550 deals a year. She spills the beans on her unique "teamerage" model, her awesome systems, and how her corporate background in global procurement helped her scale her business.
