We're unpacking one of the most powerful and misunderstood questions in your real estate business: Who should I hire next? You're selling homes, you've got momentum, and maybe a little help. But now you're ready for leverage. And that next hire could either multiply your success—or set you back six months.

Todd walks you through his exact proven framework (used by seven-figure earners across North America) for:

-Identifying your biggest current constraint

-Avoiding the costly mistake of rushed hiring

-Defining the RIGHT role (not just the most urgent one)

-Attracting high-quality talent—without wasting time

-Filtering candidates so you only talk to true contenders

Plus, real-world examples from coaching clients who've doubled their income, reduced their hours, and built true businesses—not just pipelines. Whether you’re hiring your first assistant, considering a buyer’s agent, or dreaming of a fully leveraged team, this episode will show you how to slow down before you speed up… and make the right next move.

Are you feeling the nudge to grow beyond yourself in real estate? Wondering if it’s time to start—or scale—a team? In this episode of Commissioned, Todd Tramonte unpacks 20+ years of hard-earned wisdom on what it really means to build a team. Whether you're a top-producing solo agent, already have a few people around you, or just feel maxed out and ready for more income, more impact, or more freedom—this conversation is for you.

Todd breaks down the different definitions of “team,” why solo with help might be the right fit for some, and why others are absolutely wired to lead and multiply their success through others. He also dives into the wrong reasons to build a team, what kind of leader you need to be (or not be), and how to think about team-building as a path to wealth, freedom, and lasting impact.

If you're asking, “Should I do this now?” — this episode will help you answer that with clarity.

Why keep grinding after ungrateful, unrealistic, and downright exhausting prospects when you could fill your calendar with ideal, grateful, repeat-and-refer clients?

In this episode of Commissioned, Todd Tramonte shares the exact three-step marketing system he’s used for decades to create a waiting list of right-fit clients—without burning out, blowing your budget, or lowering your standards. You’ll hear how one small, focused team went from chasing any lead they could get… to attracting more ideal buyers and sellers than they can handle.

If you’re ready to ditch the chaos and start attracting clients who respect your time, pay your fee, and actually enjoy working with you, this episode is your roadmap.
