Ep. 47 – Joanne & Tom Curtin: How to Build a Real Estate Team That Runs Without You
In this powerful episode of The OT Only Teams for Real Estate Podcast, Daren Phillipy sits down with husband-and-wife duo Joanne and Tom Curtin, top-producing real estate leaders from the Atlanta area, to share how they built a profitable, scalable team that operates independently of them.

Joanne and Tom break down exactly how they:
Restructured compensation models to maintain profitability
Leveraged ISAs to generate and convert leads without burnout
Built a culture-driven team focused on legacy and impact
Used creative grassroots lead generation (like school movie nights!) to close 13 deals from one classroom
Developed systems that allow the business to thrive without them in day-to-day sales
They also discuss how they shifted their mindset from being top producers to becoming true business owners and leaders. You’ll walk away with practical tips, powerful inspiration, and a blueprint for building a business that gives you freedom, fulfillment, and long-term success.
