Case study 1: From solo agent doing 50 deals to team leader closing 400+ homes a year

Client: Alex Montagano, Lockstep Realty, Indiana Time with Coach DO: 7+ years Starting point: Solo agent doing approximately 50 transactions per year, struggling with poor routines, average systems, and an attitude that was heading toward burnout

The situation

When Alex came to Coach DO, he was producing at a level most agents would consider successful. But Alex knew something was wrong. His routines were inconsistent, his systems were held together with duct tape, and he was starting to feel the early signs of burnout. He was doing deals but not building a business. There was no leverage, no team, and no clear path to scaling without working more hours he did not have.

What we worked on

Over the course of six years of one-on-one coaching, Dustin worked with Alex on rebuilding his daily systems from the ground up, developing the mindset and leadership skills needed to transition from solo producer to team leader, building accountability structures that kept him focused without burning him out, and creating a business that could grow without requiring more of his personal time.

The results

Six years later Alex leads a team that closed over 400 homes in 2025. He went from a solo agent doing 50 deals to a team lead overseeing production that most brokerages would be proud of. In his own words, Dustin does a great job reigning him in where needed while also letting his entrepreneurial mind run free.

The takeaway

Alex is proof that coaching is not just for struggling agents. Sometimes the agents closest to burnout are the ones with the most potential — they just need the right systems, the right accountability, and someone who will tell them the truth.

Case study 2: From 5 to 6 transactions a year to consistently closing 25 to 30

Client: Gabriel Chahinian Time with Coach DO: 6+ years Starting point: Agent doing 5 to 6 transactions per year with no repeatable system for generating consistent business

The situation

Gabriel was doing deals but could not figure out how to make his business predictable. Some months were great. Others were quiet. He had no reliable system for generating leads, no consistent follow-up process, and no clear picture of what activities actually drove results. He was working hard but not smart, and his income reflected that.

What we worked on

Dustin helped Gabriel build the foundational systems that turn a reactive real estate business into a proactive one. This included building a database management system with consistent touchpoints, developing a lead generation strategy that worked in his specific market, creating accountability structures around his most important daily activities, and shifting his mindset from transaction-focused to business-owner focused.

The results

After six years of coaching Gabriel now consistently closes 25 to 30 transactions per year, an increase of more than 400 percent from where he started. More importantly his business now produces results year over year because the systems are in place to sustain and grow production regardless of market conditions. As Gabriel put it, the systems Dustin helped him develop are allowing him to enjoy his life and set up his family’s future in a positive trajectory.

The takeaway

Gabriel’s story is one of the most common patterns in real estate coaching. Agents who are stuck at a low transaction count are almost never lacking talent or work ethic. They are lacking systems. Once the systems are in place the results follow.

Case study 3: Doubling production while creating better work-life balance

Client: Riyad A. Starting point: Agent looking to grow production while staying current on technology and trends without sacrificing personal life

The situation

Riyad came to Coach DO with a common but difficult challenge. He wanted to grow his business but not at the expense of his quality of life. He had seen too many agents double their income while doubling their stress, losing time with family, and falling behind on the technology and marketing trends that were reshaping the industry. He wanted growth that was sustainable and modern.

What we worked on

Dustin worked with Riyad on building systems that created leverage rather than more work, staying current on the latest technology and lead generation tools including Google Business Profile and AI-driven marketing, creating a business model structured around time freedom rather than just income, and developing a weekly rhythm that protected personal time while maintaining high production.

The results

Riyad doubled his business. More importantly he did it while creating better balance between work and life and staying on top of the technology and trends that are shaping the future of real estate. In a market where most agents who double production also double their hours, Riyad is the exception — and the systems made the difference.

The takeaway

Growth and freedom are not mutually exclusive. The agents who build the right systems early are the ones who eventually get to choose how they spend their time. That is the real goal of coaching.

Case study 4: Building brand, niche, and digital authority from scratch

Client: Julie D. and Bryce D. Starting point: Agents who needed help defining their niche, building their brand, and understanding how to create digital authority across multiple platforms

The situation

Julie and Bryce came to Coach DO without a clear niche, a defined brand, or a content strategy. They were good agents doing business but showing up online the same way as every other agent in their market — which meant they were not really showing up at all. They knew they needed to differentiate but did not know how to build the foundation that would make differentiation stick long-term.

What we worked on

Dustin helped them work through niche clarity — identifying the specific type of client and transaction they were best suited to serve. From there the work moved to brand development, content creation strategy, Google Business Profile setup and optimization, LinkedIn positioning, and a social media audit that helped them identify what was working and what needed to change.

The results

Julie and Bryce built a layered digital authority strategy that compounds over time. They now have a clear niche, a recognizable brand, a content system, an optimized Google Business Profile, and a LinkedIn presence that positions them as the go-to experts in their space. As they described it, the combination of all these elements stacking together is what creates sustainable long-term growth.

The takeaway

In today’s market your digital presence is your first impression. Agents who build niche clarity, brand authority, and consistent content early have a compounding advantage over agents who try to be everything to everyone.

Case study 5: GBP optimization turning into consistent organic inbound leads

Client: Chris Hennessy Starting point: Agent who attended a Coach DO Google Business Profile training and had never fully optimized his profile

The situation

Chris came to a Coach DO GBP training without a fully optimized Google Business Profile. Like most agents he had claimed his profile but had not maximized the back end — the services, the posting strategy, the review structure, or the technical optimization that determines how Google ranks and displays your profile in search results. He was leaving free organic leads on the table every month without knowing it.

What we worked on

The training covered the full Google Business Profile optimization framework including proper category and service setup, keyword-optimized business descriptions, posting strategies for higher rankings, review generation and response strategies, and how to use the profile to generate organic leads without paying for Google Ads or Local Service Ads. Chris also learned how to use the tech back end of GBP to maximize visibility in both traditional search and AI-powered search results.

The results

After the training Chris reported significant improvements to his GBP setup and expressed strong confidence that the changes would generate meaningful returns. He described the session as thorough and complete, noting that Dustin held nothing back. The knowledge and enthusiasm Dustin brings to GBP optimization is something Chris described as contagious.

The takeaway

A fully optimized Google Business Profile is one of the only marketing tools available to real estate agents that generates organic inbound leads at zero ongoing cost. Most agents have a GBP. Very few have one that is actually working for them. The difference between a mediocre profile and an optimized one is not complicated — it just takes the right knowledge and the right strategy.
