Massive Agent Podcast: One Common Trait of EVERY Top-Producing Agent
Host: Dustin Brohm | Episode 424 | Date: February 5, 2026

Episode Overview

In this episode, Dustin Brohm dives into the one common trait that every top-producing real estate agent shares. Drawing from his extensive experience and industry observations, Dustin explains why collaboration and leveraging other people's expertise can rapidly accelerate your real estate career. He challenges agents who insist on "going it alone," urging them to rethink wasted time and missed opportunities, and illustrates how investing—both time and money—into learning from others is the true "cheat code" to success.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

Introduction: Setting the Stage

• Dustin greets listeners with anecdotes about Utah’s unusual winter and highlights a new YouTube video on effective text messages for lead generation (01:08–03:45).
• He tees up the main topic: the one trait all top agents have, regardless of tenure, talent, or audience size.

The Universal Trait: Learning from Others & Not Building Alone

• Main Point: “They are not building by themselves… They are collaborating with and learning from other top agents that have already figured it out.” (04:13)
• Top agents leverage the experience of peers via masterminds, networking events, and coaching instead of solving problems in isolation.
• "It's dumb to do that," Dustin says about struggling alone with issues that many have already solved (05:32).

The Value of Collaboration & Collective Wisdom

• Masterminds/Community:

  • Examples given: free masterminds like Dustin's own Real Agent Mastermind and informal agent connections.
  • Dustin recommends: "Get into rooms with agents that are bigger, better, better marketers, better sellers, better closers, better objection handlers..." (06:22)
  • [06:44] Pitch for RealAgentMasterMind.com

• Podcasts & Digital Networking:

  • Access to expertise via podcasts, YouTube, courses, and social media as a way to “download” years of someone else’s learning into your own business instantly (07:20).

The Cost of Doing It Alone

• Many agents underestimate the cost of not investing in coaching, courses, or systems that already exist.
• Quote: “I'll tell you what's expensive—going it alone for who knows how long... How much lost income do you have?” (09:38)
• He breaks down ROI: A $3,000 course that gets you one extra sale a month easily pays for itself many times over.

The Mindset Shift: From "I Can't" to "How Can I?"

• Crucial Mindset Tip: Top agents don’t simply accept, “I can’t afford it”—they ask, “How can I afford it?” (12:23)
• Quote: “When you reframe it and you start asking yourself a different question, how can I do that?... Then you start thinking productively, creatively, and you start thinking about solutions instead of just turning your mind off.” (12:26)

Real-World Examples

• Personal Story—Mexico License Plates:

  • Dustin narrates how his mother struggled with bureaucratic red tape after moving to Mexico but ultimately solved her problem by finding and asking others who had already done it (15:08).
  • Lesson: Even if you don’t know someone, start by asking who might know someone who’s solved your specific issue.

• Agent With a Bad Listing Presentation:

  • Dustin helped another agent dramatically improve their results by connecting them to someone with a proven, high-converting listing presentation (17:37).
  • “Within 120 seconds, they had a Canva template of a listing presentation that they were crushing it with."

Being Resourceful: The Real Secret

• Quote: “Be more freaking resourceful. Stop throwing a pity party. You are where you're at because you chose to be, not because that's all you're capable of. That's absolute bullshit.” (18:38)
• Many highly-successful agents are “less capable” than others—they just never let themselves get stuck.

Actionable Takeaways

• Invest in resources—courses, masterminds, networking events, or templates—to shorten your learning curve and gain years of knowledge in weeks.
• Always ask, “Who do I know who’s solved this?” or “How can I afford to acquire this knowledge/tool?”
• Stop wasting time “reinventing the wheel.” The answer is almost always available if you’re willing and resourceful.
