## Resource

Summary: Alan Kushman shares his journey from a solo agent to building a top-tier independent brokerage before transitioning his 100-plus agent firm to eXp Realty. This episode dives into the "brutal honesty" of brokerage ownership, including the liabilities and lack of leverage that trap many owners. Agents and leaders will learn why moving from a "tenant" model to a co-ownership model is essential for long-term wealth, flexibility, and building a global organization without the overhead of traditional expansion.
