Learn how RYAN O’NEILL’S Real Estate Team became the Best Place to Work in Minneapolis
Recruiting Insight
07/27/22 • 33 min
Hey, it’s a great day to recruit, and today we’re making a stop in Minneapolis to check in with Ryan O’Neill.
Ryan is the founder and team leader of The Minnesota Real Estate Team. This is an appropriate name because they have been the #1 selling team in the State of Minnesota for many years.
Ryan started his team in 2005 (long before teams were common in the real estate industry) and built it into an organization that is much larger and prominent than most brokerages.
Last year, they were ranked #14 on the Real Trends list of the highest producing mega-teams in the country. They got there by closing over 2,200 transactions and making $750 million in sales.
Of course, it takes a lot of recruiting to achieve this level of success, and Ryan is one of the best in the industry at attracting and retaining the best agents in his marketplace.
In fact, he’s so good at attracting talent, the Minnesota Star Tribune named Ryan’s team as the #1 Mid-Sized company to work for in Twin City metro area.
This isn’t just the top spot for real estate companies, this is #1 ranking among all companies. I’ve never seen a real estate company win an award like this, so he must be doing something special.
Let’s jump in and see what we can learn from Ryan’s achievements.
VANESSA MOUTON shares how to RECRUIT $27M in EXPERIENCE AGENT Production in 10 MONTHS
Recruiting Insight
05/25/22 • 23 min
Vanessa is the Managing Broker of the Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Office in Cary/Morrisville region of North Carolina.
She has been making a bunch of noise in the real estate industry for the last 18 years.
She established her career as a high-performing independent agent and later co-founded the Triangle’s “Real Estate Chix” team—one of the most successful real estate teams in the central North Carolina. Prior to real estate, she worked as a marketing and advertising professional for 14 years, specializing in small business marketing.
All of her experience has led her to the work she is doing today—leading and growing a group of amazing agents who she is inspiring to do their best work each day.
She recently told me she loves her new position, which she has been in for 10 months now, because it enables her to give and do work that is the best version of herself every day.

Welcome to this episode of Recruiting Insight. It’s a great day to recruit.
Laurie Brill from Howard Hanna Real Estate Services stopped by to talk with us today about the great recruiting work she has done during her career.
If you haven’t met Laurie—prepare to be amazed. She has really done it all!
For the first 18 years of her career, she was a full-time, high-performing Realtor. During that time, she started and ran two successful teams.
She then founded and managed her own brokerage for several years before being selected to lead a Keller Williams office on the westside of Cleveland.
In 2015, she joined Howard Hanna—one of the most prominent real estate brands in Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Virginia, North Carolina, and several other states--as the Director of Strategic Growth.
Altogether, she has been in the real estate industry for 35 years, and I think you’re going to learn a lot today.

Recruiting Insight
07/20/22 • 33 min
It’s a great day to recruit, and today we’re making a stop in Kansas City and checking in with Chad Dumas.
Chad is the Senior Vice President of Brokerage for Reece Nichols and manages one of their largest offices.
For you those of you who don’t know, Reece Nichols is the 800-pound real estate gorilla in the Kanas City metro area.
They have 27 company-owned stores and more than 25 franchises spread across Missouri and Kansas. And there are about 3000 professional agents who keep all of this running.
To build something this large and successful, you know it takes a lot of recruiting. But it doesn’t stop there. You have to build a culture that retains the high performers who have grown up and become successful in the organization.
There is no better person to help us understand how this all works at Reece Nichols than Chad. He started as a new agent, quickly became high producer, became the most successful recruiting manager in the company, and is now part of the executive team.
And he did all this from inside the Reece Nichols framework.
So let’s jump in, and see what we can learn from one of the rising stars in the real estate industry.

It’s a great day to recruit, and thanks for joining us as we kick-off our fall season of the Recruiting Insight podcast.
When the storm clouds start gathering on the horizon, it’s helpful to connect with some seasoned executives who have led real estate organizations through difficult times.
This week, we’ll be strategizing with Rich Davidson, the founder and CEO of Cairn Real Estate Holdings.
Cairn is a nationwide real estate investment firm focused on building a network of industry leading companies and professionals.
They currently operate in more than 70 locations, have more than 4000 agents, and completed over 30,000 transactions last year. And honestly, they’re just getting started.
Prior to starting Cairn, Rick was the Global CEO of Century 21 for seven years. In this role, he was responsible for the health and wellbeing of a network that spanned 80 countries, had 8000 offices, and 125,000 sales professionals.
At the same time, he served at the chairman of Easterseals—the largest health service charity in America which cares for 1.6M individuals each year.
As you might have guessed, none of these achievements happen without inspiring all types of individuals to get behind a vision and work towards something much bigger than one person could possibly achieve.
Is this not the essence of recruiting? I think it is, so let’s jump in and see what we can today learn from Rick’s achievements.
