The world of real estate is always evolving. The challenge, however, is to keep up with these changes and adapt your strategies to remain successful. In the recent Agent Rise Breakthrough Week, hosted by Neil Mathweg and co-hosted by Mindi Kessenich, several breakthrough agents shared their experiences and strategies for success in the market.
One of the significant themes that emerged during this week was the importance of persistence and consistency. There isn’t a magic button that can ensure immediate success. Instead, success in real estate requires a robust framework, planning, and hard work.
Another consistent theme was the importance of community. The real estate community is not just about competing against each other. It’s about growing and rising together. The stories shared during the week emphasized the importance of being a part of a supportive community, which provides guidance and mentorship.
Additionally, in these challenging times, the focus has shifted from people who want to move to those who need to move. This has opened up new opportunities in areas like senior living, relocations, investments, and new construction (with a lack of inventory).
For those keen on refining their strategies and adopting a robust plan congruent with their personalities and the current market, the Agent Rise Bootcamp is an excellent place to start.

From Firehouse to Open House: How Robert Taylor Broke Through with Agent Rise
Robert Taylor is not your typical real estate agent. He’s also a career firefighter, a pool service business owner, and now, a real estate trailblazer. In this episode of our “Agent Rise Breakthrough Week,” Robert shares how he worked according to a vision of being the best agent in his neighborhood.
How It All Began
Robert’s journey into real estate wasn’t exactly planned. For years, he juggled his roles as a firefighter and a pool service business owner. But he saw the untapped potential in the real estate world. Like many, he took the leap, studying for his real estate license in secret, even from his wife! His hard work paid off when he aced the license test on his first try. But it was only the beginning.
The Struggles
Initially, Robert dabbled in flipping houses but soon realized that it wasn’t the right fit. What he truly wanted was to serve others, just as he had in his other roles. He found this purpose in helping families find their dream homes.
Discovering Agent Rise
Robert stumbled upon Neil Mathweg and Agent Rise (well it was Roundbox and Neil Mathweg Caoching back then, but that’s another story) while searching for a path in real estate. He immediately connected with Neil’s approach, which emphasized building your sphere of influence and serving clients authentically. The tipping point was the first Agent Rise Bootcamp, where Robert discovered the strategies he needed to scale his business.
The Power of Mentorship
For Robert, Neil’s mentorship was crucial in his journey. Neil advised him when to pull back and when to push forward. Robert says he still values the “nuggets of wisdom” he picked up from Neil, even as his business has grown.
Scaling to Success
Today, Robert is a part-time real estate agent, but his results are anything but part-time. Closing around 25 deals a year, he is a consistent top performer in his market. He attributes this success to the fundamental pillars taught at Agent Rise: focusing on your sphere of influence, chasing, and attracting clients.
A Heart to Serve
Robert’s ethos is simple – serving people with authenticity. He takes the service-first mindset from his firefighting and pool service careers into real estate. Whether it’s by going the extra mile at client events or providing thoughtful gifts, Robert always seeks to do just a “little bit more.”

In a recent episode of the Agent Rise Podcast, Matt revealed his transformational journey that saw him go from a struggling, overworked agent to a successful broker-owner.

Matt found the courage to implement boundaries in his work life after attending a real estate conference where Neil spoke about the importance of taking time off. The concept resonated deeply with Matt and eventually led him to make crucial changes in his life.
From Agent to Broker
Matt’s initial plan for his brokerage was modest, involving only a couple of agents to support his own sales. However, through continuous coaching and guidance, he realized the potential to grow and lead other agents. The brokerage started to evolve, and Matt found himself more aligned with his newfound role as a leader.
The Value of Vision and Perseverance
Despite facing numerous challenges, Matt persisted and kept his eyes on the bigger picture. His vivid vision and dedication, fueled by the coaching, helped him break through adversity and build a business that he loves.
Conclusion
Matt Gatewood’s story serves as a powerful reminder that personal growth is often the key to professional success. By setting boundaries, focusing on well-being, and allowing himself to be coached, Matt was able to transition from a stressed agent to a thriving broker. His journey underscores the transformative power of coaching in helping real estate professionals build businesses that are both successful and sustainable.
