Real Estate Agents’ Secret To Hitting 40-50 Deals a Year

By Tina Caul

Tina built her real estate empire from scratch, selling 130 homes a year solo before cracking the code on leverage. Now, she leads a network of over 1,700 agents and facilitates over 14,000 transactions annually.

For the ambitious real estate agent, hitting a ceiling isn’t about talent—it’s about environment. You can grind alone on the solo agent rollercoaster, or you can step into a culture engineered to win. At the Caul Group, we’ve built more than a team; we’ve built a predictable growth engine. This isn’t about compliance; it’s about a fundamental transformation, centered on one powerful question we ask our agents: “Who are you becoming here?”

Let’s break down the six pillars of a winning culture and the clear blueprint to 40-50 deals a year:

1. The mindset is “think big” and understand leverage. A winning culture operates with a “think big” mentality. Our top producers stay and scale because they understand business leverage. They know their commission investment is recycled into operations (premium leads, ISA support, elite coaching) that multiply their results. It’s about focusing on high-dollar-per-hour activities and leveraging team resources for everything else.

2. The accountability focuses on who you’re becoming. Many teams enforce what you do (check-ins, dial counts). A winning culture focuses on who you are becoming. It’s the internal drive to do the work when no one is looking, supported by a structure that expects excellence. This shifts accountability from external pressure to personal growth, attracting agents who want to operate at a higher level.

3. Your agent-driven engine is a 2-4 deal per month foundation. On one side of the circle is your controllable business: your sphere, past clients, open houses, and disciplined prospecting. In a winning culture, you master this. With focus and our systems, this alone can yield a solid 2-4 deals per month. This is your foundation and your business security.

4. Team leverage provides the “icing on the cake” that doubles your business. This is where a true team culture separates itself. While you build your foundation, Caul Group’s leverage engine is working for you: Premium Zillow & Realtor.com leads, dedicated ISAs setting 85-100 appointments/month, and constant coaching & training. This side of the business is designed to deliver you another 2-4 qualified deals per month.

5. The combined blueprint gets you to 40-50 deals a year. Here’s the simple math of a winning culture: 2-4 deals/month from your efforts + 2-4 deals/month from team leverage = a predictable pipeline of 4-8 deals per month. That’s the clear, actionable blueprint to consistently hitting 40-50 transactions a year, without the exhausting rollercoaster.

6. The infrastructure is built on systems, processes, and support. A culture that wins is built on a foundation you can rely on: proven systems, clear processes, strategic accountability, and relentless support. You name it, the infrastructure is there. This removes the guesswork and operational headaches, allowing you to focus purely on being a top-tier agent.

This blueprint is your catalyst for transformation. If you’re an ambitious solo agent, it’s your direct path off the income rollercoaster, replacing uncertainty with a scalable system. If you’ve plateaued, this is how you shatter your ceiling with a mindset shift and tangible support designed to 10x your results. And if you’re business-minded, this is the ultimate leverage play: investing a portion of commission to access a marketing and support infrastructure you could never build alone.

High-level production isn’t an accident. It’s the direct result of a culture, a system, and a partnership designed to win.
