He is an industry veteran and also was the former brand president and CEO of JPAR Real Estate company-owned stores, and under his leadership, they grew nearly five times.

In today’s episode, he discusses the stark difference between simply recruiting and attracting talent, emphasizing the importance of company culture in attracting and retaining worthwhile agents. Mark also discusses the use of artificial intelligence in recruiting and the importance of focusing on productivity in the current market. Plus, find out the newest twist on recruiting trends.

Culture is a key factor in attracting and retaining agents, and it is important to communicate the culture authentically to prospective agents.
Retention is a form of recruiting, and investing in existing agents can lead to increased productivity and referrals.
