There’s a reason agents come back to Growth Summit.

It’s the conversations between sessions. The idea you hear from another agent that changes how you approach your business. The people you finally get to meet in person.

And we’re getting ready to do it all again.

Growth Summit 2026 is coming to Scottsdale October 26–28, and we can’t wait to have everyone back together.

When a transaction gets complicated, who can you call?

Real estate agents make important decisions every day, and having experienced support available can make navigating those moments a little easier.

HomeSmart gives agents access to experienced broker support, technology and resources designed to support the business they’re building, without getting in the way of how they choose to run it.

What does keeping more of what you earn actually make possible?

That answer looks different for every real estate agent.

Maybe it changes what you can do with your business. Maybe it changes what you can plan for outside of it.

That’s the bigger idea behind HomeSmart’s 100% commission options: more control over what you earn and what you choose to do with it.

If you could put more of your next commission toward one thing, what would it be? 👇

There’s nothing like getting to know each other in person. 🙌

HomeSmart leaders recently had the chance to meet with NorthGroup agents for the first time, bringing everyone together for introductions, conversations and a chance to start building new relationships.

It was great to see everyone connecting and getting to know the people behind the names. We’re looking forward to many more gatherings like this!

You can have a completely full day and still wonder what actually moved your business forward.

For agents, productivity isn't just about checking off the most tasks. It's about making time for the work that creates conversations, strengthens client relationships and builds future opportunities.

So before you close the laptop today, ask yourself:

What did I do today that could create business tomorrow?

It’s a simple question, but it can change how you prioritize your time.

Agents, what activity consistently produces the biggest return on your time? Share yours below.

The market doesn’t wait until your business is ready to change.

That’s what makes preparation so important.

At RISMedia’s CEO & Leadership Exchange, HomeSmart Founder & CEO Matt Widdows put it this way:

“We can’t control what’s going to happen. We have to be ready for whatever eventualities may happen.”

For agents, there’s a valuable takeaway in that: you may not control what the market does next, but you can control how prepared you are to respond when it does.

Matt joined real estate leaders from across the country to discuss how they’re navigating today’s market and preparing for what comes next.

How many deals have gotten shaky this year because of the insurance quote?

Insurance is becoming part of the affordability conversation much earlier in the home buying process, and agents who surface those costs sooner can help clients avoid surprises later.

One habit worth adding before a buyer gets too attached to a property: start the insurance conversation early. Encourage buyers to get property specific estimates, understand potential coverage issues and factor those costs into the monthly payment before they are deep into the transaction.

The more visibility clients have upfront, the better equipped they are to make a confident decision.

That is also where having the right tools, support and flexibility behind your business matters. HomeSmart is built to help agents spend more time advising clients and less time managing unnecessary friction.

Agents, has insurance complicated or killed a deal for you recently? What are you doing differently now?

One of the biggest opportunities in an agent’s business may already be sitting inside their past-client database.

In the final step of the Agent Profit Workflow, Todd explains why retention matters—and why he thinks about it as creating “clients for life.”

Stay connected after closing. Continue providing value. Build a relationship that lasts beyond one transaction.

Because a strong client relationship can lead to the next move, the next generation and the next referral.
