49: Steve Crossland on How to Operate a Low Effort, High Profit Company Jul 17, 2018

Show notes

Today, I'm talking with Steve Crossland, the owner of Crossland Real Estate Team, a local team in Austin, Texas working with Keller Williams.

Steve has built a profitable property management company, and the reason I wanted to have him on the show is that he is known for having some clear constraints and parameters of what he is optimizing for.

Steve is pretty much the opposite of one of these guys that's trying to get to 10,000 doors at all costs. He's running a clear, tight playbook and there's a level of intentionality around balancing profit and growth that I want to tease out and discuss on the show.

So this should be an exciting episode for anybody that is managing less than 500 doors and is kind of wondering, "Do I need to – do I have to grow? Can I be profitable where I'm at?"

If you want some more clarity around those types of issues, then this should be the episode for you.
