Too often, agents focus solely on the next transaction and forget that building an intentional exit strategy is just as important as building a strong sales pipeline. In this episode of The Inner Estate , I sat down with Mike Davis , a certified executive coach who specializes in helping real estate agents prepare for their future through the Exit Ready Quotient (ERQ) .

Agents often become the bottleneck in their own growth. By addressi...
