If you re an ambitious solo agent who s used to doing it all, it can be difficult to consider delegating some of those tasks to someone else. But if you really want to build and scale a thriving real estate business, learning to let go and lead a team is crucial.

Misti Bruton is the Broker-REALTOR at AVO Realty, a real estate company with teams in Austin, San Antonio and Houston. Misti was originally licensed in 1994, and she has been in and out of the industry ever since, leaving to do corporate work and pursue a master s in counseling before returning to the field in late 2015.
