From Homeless at 15 to Leading Montana’s Most Trusted Real Estate Brand...The Mark Kuhl Story

Send us a text

In this powerful episode of the R.E.A.L. Real Estate Agent Life Podcast, Shane and Duane sit down with Marine Corps veteran, former firefighter, and Montana brokerage owner Mark Kuhl — a man whose story redefines resilience, leadership, and culture.

From being homeless at 15, to being shaped by the Marine Corps, to becoming a firefighter for 20 years, to stepping into real estate and rebuilding a brokerage almost from scratch… Mark’s journey is a masterclass in grit, service, and conviction.

Mark shares:

• The accidental chain of events that pushed him into the Marine Corps, firefighting, and real estate
• How he and his wife Marcy went from 21 agents… to 3… and rebuilt a culture that thrives today
• Why the most successful brokerages hire slow, fire fast, and protect culture with everything
• How loyalty, faith, and family built one of Montana’s most respected real estate brands
• What it actually takes to lead people without burning yourself out
• How to coach, mentor, and elevate people using life skills—not scripts
• Why ambitious agents desperately need to “ask without fear”
• What compounding interest, father wounds, and Tony Robbins have to do with real estate success
• And the one leadership lesson he wishes he learned 30 years earlier

Whether you’re a seasoned broker, a new agent, or someone who’s clawing your way toward a better life…
 Mark’s story will remind you that nothing is wasted. Every chapter prepares you for the next.
