Started at 18… Now Selling 130+ Homes a Year

Starting a real estate career at 18 is rare. Building it into a high-producing business is even rarer. This conversation breaks down what it actually takes to go from getting started to producing at a high level early. Bridget Stuart sits down with Jonathan Leach, who began his real estate career straight out of high school and went on to build a team, a portfolio, and a business producing over 130 homes a year. Jonathan shares the habits, discipline, and mindset that allowed him to grow quickly in an industry where most agents struggle to gain traction. From consistent lead generation to building a team culture that lasts, this is a clear look at what separates early success from long-term sustainability. If you're building your business, starting out, or looking to increase your production, this will give you a practical blueprint to think and operate at a higher level.
