The Anti-Management Blueprint: Treating Salespeople Like Clients - Megan Jaffe & Thomas Farmer

Think you need a brilliant exit strategy to win in real estate? Think again. In this episode of HomeRun, we sit down with Megan Jaffe and Thomas Farmer—the powerhouse leaders behind Ray White Remuera, the #1 top-performing Ray White office globally.

👇 Get ready to challenge everything you know about real estate leadership, accountability, and surviving a flat market. 👇

Megan and Thomas aren't playing by the traditional corporate playbook. Instead of planning an exit, they’ve mastered "succession for expansion"—bringing in the next generation of leaders (like Thomas himself) to scale at a global level.

In this deep-dive conversation, they reveal why traditional "cookie-cutter" accountability destroys real estate teams, how they protect their people to drive sustainable growth, and the exact mindset shift required to thrive when asking prices are flat and stock is high.
