How Brian Turned a $93K Loss into a $37K Profit
Brian’s brokerage was struggling with high overhead and unsustainable operations, posting a $92,686 loss in the first seven months of 2024. With The Profit Centre’s guidance, he implemented data-driven strategies that completely reversed his financial trajectory. Within 12 months, his brokerage transformed into a profitable, stable, and sustainable business.
Brian’s Company faced:
Aligned agent compensation with gross profit targets, ensuring sustainable agent relationships.
Closed an unprofitable office, retained all agents, and shifted to a cost-efficient shared workspace.
Every aspect of the business was examined through the lens of profitability, ensuring that resources were allocated only where measurable returns were achieved.
Brian partnered with The Profit Centre to rebuild his brokerage’s financial structure using a clear, data-driven approach. The focus was on identifying where profit was created — and where it was being lost — so every decision moved the business toward sustainability.
