Start listening

What do you do when your real estate dream starts with two jobs, four a.m. shifts, and no clear path forward?

If you’re Jeffery Mcgonigle—you build a system, stick to the plan, and choose your hard.

In this episode of Real Estate Insiders Unfiltered, Jeffery joins James and Keith to share the full story behind Power Real Estate Group, one of the most productive teams in California. With 560 transactions, $400M in volume, and a team of 160+ agents, Jeff walks us through how grit, systems, and mindset shaped his journey.

You’ll learn:

  • His signature 3-2-1 method for daily success (and what most agents miss)
  • How to scale with ISAs, team leads, and virtual assistants
  • Why clarity kills confusion—and boosts per-agent production
  • How he uses dashboards, Slack, and Looker Studio to run the business
  • Why “feelings aren’t real” is printed on his team’s sweatshirts
  • How they fix follow-up failures and improve the client experience

This episode is packed with strategy, inspiration, and truth bombs for any agent who’s serious about growth.
