Ep. 26: From Agent to Chief Growth Officer: Why Jason Cassity Bet Big on Real
What would make a top-producing agent pause a thriving business, step out of production, and walk away from revenue share… to go corporate?
In this episode of The Real Shift, we sit down with Jason Cassity, Real’s new Chief Growth Officer, to unpack the bold move that has everyone talking. From building a $100M team to leading growth for 33,000+ agents, Jason shares what he saw inside the industry, and why he believes this role was the next evolution.
We dive into:
- The real reason he stepped out of production
- What’s actually happening behind the scenes at Real
- The gap he saw (and decided to fill)
- Agent attraction vs. retention and why both matter more than ever
- The future of AI at Real (hello, “Hey Leo”)
- How to build a network that actually lasts
If you’re an agent thinking bigger than just transactions… this one will shift your perspective.
