The Lean Approach to Real Estate Leadership With Jonathan Campbell

What does it look like to sell 2,600 homes in a single year—without grinding your team into the ground?

 

“If you’re not creating opportunities for your team—beyond just leads—they’ll go find them elsewhere.”

 

In this episode, we sit down with Jonathan Campbell, a visionary team leader who’s built one of the most productive real estate teams in the country. With just 30 agents or fewer at any given time, Jonathan has closed over 16,000 homes through crystal-clear systems, aligned leadership, and a culture of fun, accountability, and trust.

We cover everything from how he holds agents to their commitments without micromanaging, to the surprising true lead source behind their volume (hint: it’s not what you think). Plus, Jonathan opens up about why he's choosing to hit the road with his family in a converted school bus for a three-month cross-country journey—and how he's still running the team while he does it.

Whether you're a team leader, solo agent, or operator looking to scale without chaos, this one is pure gold.
