Episode Details

Are your agents burning out on Zillow Flex? In this interview, Justin Core (Core Group Real Estate, Orlando) breaks down the exact systems he uses to manage a 35-agent team while keeping conversion high and stress low.

Justin reveals his unique "Rotation System" that eliminates the 24/7 grind, how he stops agents from "cherry-picking" leads, and the "Mock Appointment" training method that replaced traditional shadowing.

If you are running a real estate team or thinking about adopting Zillow Flex, this conversation with eXp Realty's Chief Learning Officer Bryon Ellington is a masterclass in operations and accountability.

✅ The "Rotation" System: Why Justin splits his flex team in half and rotates them "Week On / Week Off" to prevent burnout and missed calls.
✅ Stopping Cherry-Picking: How to hold agents accountable when they decline "Real-Time Tours" or tough leads.
✅ Mock Appointments: The Tuesday training hack that forces agents to practice listing presentations and buyer consults live in front of the team.
✅ The Metrics that Matter: Moving from "Appointments Met" to "Agreements Signed."
