In this episode of the Real Estate Excellence Podcast, Tracy Hayes sits down with Tanya Cosmini. Tanya is a broker owner, real estate leader, and producing agent who returned to the Real Estate Excellence Podcast to share what she has learned after nearly four years of running Realty One Group Elevate. Tanya Cosmini discusses the reality of opening and leading a brokerage, why recruiting is a longer game than expected, and how true agent support shows up in moments of stress. Tanya also explains why she still sells real estate, how consistency beats shiny objects, and why knowing the contract is one of the strongest ways agents can protect their clients. They also dig into new agent training, collaborative culture, realtor safety, pricing strategy, and the market shift in St. Johns County. Tanya makes it clear that successful agents need support, discipline, safety awareness, and the humility to keep learning from both wins and losses. Listen to the full episode, share it with an agent who needs stronger support, and subscribe to the Real Estate Excellence Podcast for more conversations with top real estate professionals.
