Today I’m talking to Mike Darda of Compass in Fort Meyers and Cape Coral. Mike has been a real estate agent for over 30 years, consistently closing over 200 transactions a year. To maintain this level of production both on the sides of business development as well as perfected business delivery, Mike has his team structure and operations down to a science.  In this interview, it is clear that he applies the 80/20 rule. He has structured, built, and runs a team that fully executes so that he is empowered, honed in, and entirely focused on the 20% that are his talents and his money-making activities. Today, we talk about exactly how to structure, build, and run a team to consistently generate and close over 200 transactions a year. Mike's team and marketing strategies (1:15)How they’re able to hit 200 transactions a year!
