Ep 50 - The Hamilton Collective
Episode 50 — The Hamilton Collective with Spencer Hamilton Spencer Hamilton traded a career in banking for real estate and built The Hamilton Collective, a community-first team serving Colorado's foothills from Golden and Morrison out to Conifer, Evergreen, Bailey, and Fairplay along the 285 corridor. In this episode, he and host Kevin Dandino talk about what it really takes to survive and grow in an industry where roughly 95% of new agents quit within five years. Spencer shares his approach to treating real estate like a real business, the community-first marketing that fuels his referrals — coaching Conifer High School baseball, supporting local schools and the PTA, and helping turn Conifer Radio into a community-owned nonprofit — and why serving people first always comes back around. The conversation also tackles a pressing issue for every mountain homeowner: wildfire risk and the shrinking homeowners insurance market in the foothills. Spencer explains why carriers are pulling back, why buyers now have to line up coverage before writing an offer, and why a knowledgeable local insurance relationship has become essential. In this episode: From banking to building a foothills real estate team Why 95% of agents fail — and how to be in the 5% Community-first marketing that actually works The foothills wildfire insurance crisis explained The payoff of helping people move to the mountain lifestyle Guest: Spencer Hamilton, The Hamilton Collective — thehamiltoncollectiveco.com Behind the Small Business is presented by Centennial State Insurance Agency.
