Eric Stegemann (00:00):

Hi everybody. And welcome to Brokerage Insider the podcast where we interview the leaders in real estate and technology. And today I have the pleasure of interviewing Brenda Tushaus. Brenda's the CEO of Re/Max Results, which is not only one of the largest Re/Max franchises in the world. It's not only one of the largest Brokerages in the United States in terms of both transactions and dollars sold, but it's actually also the most productive, large Brokerage in the entire country. Brenda is a friend of mine and her company is also a client of ours at Tribus. So full disclosure before we get started on that today. But I think we're going to have a really fun conversation and hopefully everybody listening, that's a brokerage owner or staff person can glean something from this most productive brokerage in the country. So first of all, Brenda, thank you so much for joining us.

Brenda Tushaus (00:51):

Hi, Eric. Thanks. I'm happy to be here.

 Eric Stegemann (00:54):

Great. Well first, why don't you tell us a little bit about Re/Max Results and kind of your role at the country?

 Brenda Tushaus (01:02):

Re/Max Results. We are located in Minnesota and Western Wisconsin. We have just over 40 offices and just shy of 1200 agents. And I've been at the company for going on. I lose track. It's like 18 or 19 years. And I've been CEO for the last two years. We are, we're just a growth minded. We're always looking to expand, you know, when I say we're in Minnesota and Western Wisconsin eventually, into other territories as well. What do you want to know?

 Eric Stegemann (01:50):

Well, one of the stories that I love about your working at the company is you started out as a IT person more or less. And if I remember correctly, you were pretty much the low woman for, from an it perspective, just doing updates on computers around the offices, right?
