Are you overcomplicating your real estate business with too many lead generation strategies? In this episode of the Better Agent Podcast, host Josh Lavik sits down with Kyle Ristow, an impressive young agent based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, who closed over 300 transactions in just a few short years after getting his license right out of high school!

Kyle shares his incredible journey from struggling to close a single deal his first six months to becoming a showing assistant handling 1,000+ showings a year, and eventually building a fast-growing 7-person expansion team. Kyle breaks down his simple, proven formula for success: dedicating one hour a day to "The One Thing," having 20 real estate conversations daily, and committing to a 36-touch follow-up campaign. Josh and Kyle also discuss the power of authenticity, sharing why showing up in a hoodie can win you the listing over a fancy suit.
