EXIT Realty Corp. International Announces Real Leadership Podcast: Ideas for the Real Estate Professional

EXIT Realty Corp. International today announced the launch of “Real Leadership: ideas for the real estate professional”, a podcast hosted by real estate industry veteran, Bob McKinnon.

Real Leadership provides a gathering place and forum for some of the top minds in the real estate industry to discuss all things leadership.  “After five decades in real estate, I’ve met some of the most amazing people, leaders from all over the real estate industry from coast to coast,” says McKinnon. “When I interview Stefan Swanepoel, Dr. Mike Armour, Chuck Lamb, Tami Bonnell, and others for Real Leadership episodes, I’m gleaning from them their finest organizational and leadership ideas.”

Bob McKinnon has been a leader’s leader for decades. McKinnon has managed portions of five real estate companies, has been a franchisor, a corporate manager, and Director. Being a part of the team that developed the first region of CENTURY 21 in Southern California, McKinnon was instrumental in that company’s early growth and development. In 2012, he became the South West U.S. Divisional President for EXIT Realty Corp. International, working with regional owners to help to grow EXIT’s presence. In 2016, he became a certified speaker, trainer and coach of the John Maxwell Team. In 2017, McKinnon was appointed Director of Leadership for the entire EXIT Realty organization.

From the heads of large franchisors to the smallest independents, from association presidents to MLS directors, and from broker/owners to agents who guide their clients through the buying and selling maze, regardless of someone’s role in the real estate industry, he or she is a leader.

Current Real Leadership episodes include:
