Michael Valdes on Leadership, Relationships, and Building a Legacy

In this episode, we sit down with Michael Valdez to explore the leadership journey, industry perspective, and behind-the-scenes experience shaping today’s fastest-growing real estate models.

From a background in global finance to helping lead worldwide expansion inside modern cloud brokerages and luxury brands, this conversation breaks down how real estate leadership has evolved — and what agents need to understand about scale, risk, and long-term opportunity. We discuss career pivots, market cycles, and how proximity to top organizations changes the way you see the business.

You’ll also hear insights into how major real estate companies are built from the inside, how leadership networks actually function, and why access, alignment, and vision matter more than ever for agents building a lasting career.

This discussion provides valuable context for agents evaluating today’s brokerage landscape, including how organizations like eXp Realty and LPT Realty fit into the broader shift toward cloud-based, agent-centric models.
If you’re a real estate professional thinking about growth, leadership, or the future of the industry, this conversation will give you perspective most agents never get.
