He was the top agent in his office. Closed a $3 million deal from a handwritten letter. Built a team, co-owned a brokerage - and still walked away.
Why? Because success without systems is a trap.
In Built from Scratch: From Solo Agent to Real Estate CEO, Brian B. Turner pulls back the curtain on how he went from hustling every weekend to building a real estate business that ran without him. No fluff. No fake flexes. Just the raw truth about follow-up systems, lead generation, automation, team-building, and money flow - the stuff most agents never figure out until it's too late.
Whether you're just getting licensed or already deep in the grind, this book will help you:
Avoid burnout and buyer fatigue
Systemize your follow-ups and free your time
Think like a CEO (not just a commission chaser)
Pay yourself like a boss - and keep the IRS off your back
Exit on your terms (or scale smarter if you stay)
It's more than a how-to. It's a mindset shift. Because you don't just want more closings - You want a business that pays you back.
