The Teamerage Philosophy: Growth Through Leadership with Kara Hinshaw

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. They also talk recruiting strategies, training new agents, and why adaptability and leadership are the keys to her success.
