Under Contract

Under Contract is a show for real estate agents and team leaders who want to build a real business, not just chase the next transaction. Host Tim Donovan sits down with top-producing agents and brokers across the country to break down exactly how they built what they built. Their lead generation systems, follow-up philosophy, pricing models, team structures, and the turning points that changed everything. No fluff, no recycled advice. Just real numbers, real strategies, and the operational details most agents never get to hear straight from the source. Plus an honest look at where AI actually helps a real estate business, and where it doesn't. New episodes drop regularly. Subscribe if you're serious about scaling.

  My Biggest Lead Source Is AI: Darren Tackett on Winning the Search Game Before Everyone Else Catches Up

  Aug 17, 202627 minS1

  <p><b>Guest Bio</b></p><p>Darren Tackett leads the Tackett Team at eXp Realty in Scottsdale, Arizona, after 30 years in the business. He started in real estate almost by accident — a pre-med track that didn't pan out, six months selling cars, and a college roommate's decision to get licensed that nudged him to do the same. Four years into a coaching program called The Core taught him the financial discipline he was missing (including recovering from an IRS tax lien), and set him on the path to eXp. When his original business partner and team leader passed away un...

  Flexibility Comes at a Cost: Jase Leonard's Time-Blocking Blueprint for 228 Deals a Year

  Aug 16, 202640 minS1

  <p><b>Guest Bio<br/></b><br/>Jase Leonard leads HousingAroundAZ, a real estate team based in Chandler, Arizona, in the Phoenix metro market. Before real estate, he built and directed a corporate call center — and walked away from the job rather than lay off half his staff. His first six months in real estate produced exactly one transaction, and his wife gave him one final shot to make it work. Eleven years later, Jase runs a 14-agent team that closed 228 transactions last year, built on a foundation of expired and canceled listings, pre-foreclosure and probate outreach, and one of on...

  Don't Hire Another You: Roxanne Humes on Building a Team Like a Band

  Aug 16, 202648 minS1

  <p><b>Guest Bio</b></p><p>Roxanne Humes is a real estate agent and team leader with Coldwell Banker in the Pittsburgh area. Before real estate, she spent years as a buyer for May Company (Filene's in Boston, then Kaufmann's in Pittsburgh), and later helped grow a wholesale apparel company to $40M in revenue — until the 2009 financial crisis, tied to the owner's real estate investments, ended that chapter. At 42, with her husband's blessing and her father-in-law's nudge, she got her real estate license and started over from zero, with no local network and no built-in client base. Fifteen years la...

  We're Not Saving People in the ER: How Richard Berman Sells 150 Homes a Year Without Losing His Evenings

  Aug 16, 202634 minS1

  <p><b>Guest Bio</b></p><p>Richard Berman is a real estate agent with RenoSparksHomes.com in Reno, Nevada. He got into real estate eight years ago after a mentor showed him his GCI and Richard asked, on the spot, how to get his license — leaving a $140K/year B2B sales job in the process. His first year netted just $14,000 after expenses. Eight years later, he closed 120 transactions last year and is on pace for roughly 150 this year — with a lean team of himself, one buyer's agent, and three full-time assistants, no additional agents under him. He's built his...

  Aug 16, 202634 minS1

  <p><b>Guest Bio</b></p><p>Chip Hodgkins is the broker/owner of Hodgkins Homes in Syracuse, New York, leading a 10-agent team with a database of over 123,000 contacts. A serial entrepreneur who built and sold roughly 14 businesses — including scaling a bearings company from $350M to $720M before selling to Emerson Electric — Chip "retired" at 40, only to be pushed into real estate by his wife days later. He closed his first two listings within 48 hours of getting licensed and finished his first year ranked #3 in RE/MAX New York State. 26 years later, he's built a business on leverage: one-to-many webi...
