On A Mission To 70 Agents and Beyond with Team Peterson-Jackson

LaShawn and Towanna Peterson-Jackson

Less than three years ago, Team Peterson-Jackson was a two-agent domestic real estate team. Today, they’re at 74 agents and counting. All along, they’ve been on a mission to:

1. increase African American homeownership rates
2. build generational wealth
3. create knowledgeable and productive real estate agents
   

In this conversation, LaShawn and Towanna Peterson-Jackson welcome you into the education-based approach to expanding their business, including how systems and support anchor their value prop, their 12-week onboarding process and the mobile app that powers it, their agent- and client-attraction methods, and leadership challenges they’ve faced and overcome along the way.

Early success was found connecting with people in Facebook Groups and delivering home-buying seminars in churches, schools, community centers, and non-profits in Detroit. Now, they’re preparing to expand into Houston, Atlanta, Indiana, and beyond!

Watch or listen to this conversation with Towanna and LaShawn for insights into:

• Carrying culture from your personal real estate business into your real estate team
• What LaShawn saw in Towanna’s commission checks that had her get re-licensed as an agent
• How the three aspects of their mission was sparked by a visit to Portland and Seattle, including insights into homelessness, gentrification, home ownership rates, and agent income
• How home-buying seminars and an education-first approach helped launch the team
• The roles and structure of their 10-staff, 74-agent organization
• Why they prefer new, “baby” real estate agents, why they don’t recruit, and what they look for in agents who want to join their team
• Why their value prop is more about onboarding, training, and systems than it is about leads and exactly what they provide agents in these areas
• When and why they shifted from working with investors to educating homeowners
• Which key challenges they faced in growing the team and where they sought guidance
• How each of them defined and refined their roles as leaders
• When and how they’re expanding to Houston, Atlanta, Indiana, and beyond
  

At the end, learn about Lions gear, a shoe habit, a shoe room, a lake house, and the next flight.
