If you’d asked me 2 years ago whether I’d ever shift course and join another brokerage, the answer would’ve been a firm no.

Not because I didn’t believe in the industry or brokerage in general. Quite the opposite. I believe in it so much that I’ve grown increasingly frustrated by how slow it’s been to evolve. For decades (ive seen almost 3 in the business), brokerages have operated on the same outdated philosophies: attract as many agents as possible, offer flashy tech, make huge money collecting monthly fees, then hope for the best. Meanwhile, the agent experience, the real support and the actual results remain secondary. That has never sat right with me.

I wasn’t actively looking for a new home. But I also knew I wasn’t where I was supposed to be. My values and vision had outgrown the environment I was operating in. I stayed grateful and productive, but I stayed aware while evaluating opportunities and our industry as a whole.

Then I met Peter and Erinn.

These two founders didn’t just talk about changing the game, they flew across the country to sit down with me face to face and ask better questions. Real questions. The kind that stop you in your tracks. The kind that I had been asking for years before.

What would it look like if a brokerage actually supported its agents after the handshake and beyond the tech?

What if we stopped measuring success by headcount and started focusing on professionalism and production?

What if we could build a boutique experience that feels personal, yet performs at scale?

What if we could reimagine the mindset and narrative around leads and attraction.

For the first time in a long time, I felt intrigued. Understood. Aligned.

Peter and Erinn didn’t try to sell me on being “agent centric” or flash me a tech stack. They talked about people. Culture. Responsibility. We talked about what could be if the industry was willing to grow up and evolve.

What makes ENRG different? It’s not just the systems (though they’re strong), or the leadership (which is world-class), or the tech (which is smart and scalable). It’s the way we see agents. We don’t treat them as resources to extract from. We treat them as partners worth investing in.

This isn’t just another model with a rev share play. We’ve reimagined what attraction looks like, giving agents access to revenue share without requiring them to become full-time recruiters. Our Connect & Thrive model is a first-of-its-kind support system that lets agents benefit from growth while staying focused on their primary business selling real estate.

We’ve also reimagined what lead generation should be. The industry’s obsession with “the next lead” has created a culture of distraction. At ENRG, we’re building systems that help agents nurture and convert the goldmine they’re already sitting on.

But for me, this is deeper than business.

After twenty-six years in the game, I’ve finally found a brand that aligns with the way I think, lead, and see our industry. My personal philosophy around brokerage, that quality over quantity wins, that production over attraction matters, and that collaboration beats isolation, isn’t a side note here. It’s the operating manual.

I’ve learned a lot in my journey. I’ve learned how to produce, how to attract, how to lead, how to build companies and best of all, how to evolve. Every step has taught me something. And while I’ve always approached my career as an entrepreneur, I now feel like I’ve found a home where my entrepreneurial spirit is not just welcome — it’s foundational.

So no, I didn’t expect to be here. But I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be.

And if any part of this made you pause… you should consider your business environment and make sure you’re where youre supposed to be.

Where ever you are at…. You should be aligned!
