In this episode, host Jenna is joined by Robbie Lofaro, the newest business owner within the Place network and CEO of Place Purpose Group, to discuss his journey into real estate business ownership. Before entering real estate, Robbie had already owned businesses and always had a strong interest in entrepreneurship. After quickly establishing himself as a high-performing agent, that drive naturally led him toward building something of his own, but along the way, he realised his greatest fulfilment came from seeing the people around him succeed. Together, Jenna and Robbie explore themes of leadership, retention and recruitment, and what it takes to create an environment where agents feel supported and motivated to grow. Robbie also shares his belief that energy is a choice, and why the mindset leaders bring each day plays a crucial role in shaping team culture. At the heart of Robbie's philosophy is a simple idea: he's in the business of keeping real estate agents happy.
