One agent per market across the Triangle and the coast. Early means first pick.
I'm the bottleneck in my own business. There's more capacity in what I built than one person can run.
Lead sources, a relocation system, a vendor bench, marketing that runs whether or not I'm awake. All of it already working, all of it waiting on people.
So this isn't a job posting. It's the whole thing laid out, in detail, so you can decide for yourself.
Your market is a home base, not a fence. Leads from it route to you, and you still follow your clients anywhere they land.
These come first because that's where the business already is. Whoever moves first gets the pick.

Highest activity, heaviest relocation traffic, closest thing we have to a home field.

The biggest pool in the Triangle, and the one we can't give enough attention to.

The coastal side, where plenty of our Triangle clients buy second.
Next as we grow. Don't see your town? Tell me anyway.
Dad in sales, mom in real estate, raised in New Jersey where people tell you exactly where you stand. Before real estate I led national sales teams and spent eight years coaching business owners as a Vistage advisor.
Then Sales Director at Keller Williams and eXp, where recruiting and coaching agents was the actual job. The coaching part of this page isn't a new idea I'm trying on you.
Full background on LinkedInIn house, covered by me, applied to your files. The biggest block of time you get back.
Social, video, listing marketing, print. A shared team resource, with bigger custom projects scoped as projects.
Running day one. Custom workflows built when you ask for them, so ask.
Lender, inspector, attorney, stagers, movers. They answer because the relationship already exists.
New construction reps who already know us. It changes how your client gets treated.
Campaigns and a series in your name, planned with you rather than handed over as a template.
Where opportunity comes from. Inside your market, you're the one running it.
City guides, relocation packets, buyer timelines, seller worksheets. Every piece co-branded to you, so what lands in your client's inbox carries your name and photo.
Most agents spend year one building this. You'd spend year one using it.
Rates hidden here. You'd get the real one.
Four tiers, laid out plainly, so a seller chooses a level of service instead of negotiating you down on a number. Most agents walk into a listing appointment and wing it. You'd walk in with this.

Everyone who closes with us gets a card and a code. It opens a members-only site that keeps running long after the sale, and it's the reason past clients call us first instead of googling somebody.
Your past clients get a card too. That's the difference between a database and a pipeline.
One-on-one time, strategy on live deals, and a broker who picks up the phone. We'd build around how you actually sell rather than handing you my script.
We're remote, which surprises people given how involved I am. No office you have to sit in, no floor time, no desk fee. Hands-on means available, not looking over your shoulder.
He was able to find out what area I was weak in and help me overcome it. If you're looking for someone who can get your sales up and teach you how to improve overall, I'd call Rich. He knows how to listen and tailor his skills to help you.Sid RothenbergCo-Founder & CEO, Reliable Information Technology · worked with Rich as a client
Not everybody dreams about the beach. If the mountains are more your thing, that's open too. On the coast you'd join something that exists; out west you'd build it with me.
Most team leaders call a second market competition. I'd rather you grow here than leave to do it.
Most recruiting pitches stay vague because vague is easier to defend. Everything's here instead, just folded up so you only read what you care about.
Depends on your current brokerage agreement, and it's different at every shop. We go through yours line by line before you give notice. I'd rather map it honestly than promise something I can't control.
Yours. It comes with you, goes into Lofty, and stays yours. If this ever stops working for either of us, you leave with it.
You'd market under Rich Burghgraef Realty with your name alongside. Bring us a seller and that listing carries a rider with your name and number, wherever the house sits. Those calls come to you.
The LPT license transfer is usually days rather than weeks, and we handle onboarding with you instead of sending a link and wishing you luck. Paperwork, not a cliff.

Two structures. One applies to opportunity that comes through the team's sources, one applies to business you generate yourself, and the second is deliberately built so growing your own book is the more rewarding path.
Both are competitive. I'm not publishing numbers on a page my competitors can read, and I'd rather give them to you straight in a conversation where you can ask follow-ups. Bring it up in the first five minutes. I won't dodge it.
What it costs you is a fair question too, so here it is. LPT charges a $500 annual fee and $195 per closed transaction. That's the brokerage, not me, and every LPT agent pays it. On the team side there's no desk fee, no franchise fee, no marketing fee, and no charge for the transaction coordinator. You'd cover your own MLS and REALTOR® dues the way you do now.
Fee structures change. Confirm current LPT numbers with me on the call rather than taking a webpage's word for it.
Lender, inspector and attorney introduced up front, which is where that 98% comes from. Co-branded city and relocation guides. Builder advocacy behind you at the table. Files handled by the TC.
Full listing marketing produced in house: photos directed, feature cards, social, print and a landing page. A listing coordinator on the file. Pricing strategy worked through with me. LPT sends a property-specific marketing box for every new listing.
Worth being precise: the listing box and brokerage economics come from LPT, and any LPT agent gets them. Everything else here is the team.
Licensed, maybe a deal or two closed, and the hard part has been finding anyone to work with. A home base gives you somewhere to become the local name, and you'd build your process alongside someone who already has one.
You're closing already, and what slows you down is everything surrounding the selling. Coordination, a vendor bench that holds up, and marketing that runs without you.
You list and you sell and nobody needs to teach you. Bring the whole business. Your listings get the full treatment, your buyers get the machine, and none of how you operate has to bend.
A recent Huddle in Cary. Agents from several different brokerages.
A weekly podcast, thirty minutes at most, no pitch attached. Plus The Huddle, a free session for agents twice a month, open to any brokerage including the ones competing with me.
One agent per market. The early ones get the pick.
A conversation, not a presentation. If it isn't a fit I'll say so on that first call and we'll both get on with our day.
Your broker won't hear about it, and neither will your team lead or the agent sitting next to you. I've had a lot of these conversations that went nowhere, and not one ever got back to anybody.
One agent per market. Priority markets still open.
