info_outlineEpisode Overview
In this electrifying episode, hosts John Kitchens, Jay Kinder and Al Stasek sit down with real estate firebrand Amy Gregory, a solo agent, top recruiter, and mom of four who’s redefining what modern real estate success looks like—on her own terms. Amy unpacks how she has built a wildly profitable, high-leverage real estate business by focusing on efficiency, clarity, and niche marketing through social media. With a production model that consistently generates $8–10 million in volume per year—on just 10 hours a week—Amy is the poster child for what’s possible when agents stop chasing someone else’s playbook and instead own their unique lane.
This episode is a goldmine for real estate agents, moms in business, agent attractors, and EXP Realty team leaders looking to simplify, scale, and sharpen their business without burning out. Amy dives deep into agent attraction strategies that work without a traditional team, the power of building multiple revenue streams (including digital products and referral systems), and why social media is your most underused weapon. Plus, she shares what every solo agent needs to know about growing inside a cloud-based brokerage model like EXP Realty.
