Brit O’Donoghue: How to Grow Your Real Estate Network and Influence

In episode 150 of the Real Estate Excellence Podcast, Tracy Hayes welcomes Brit O'Donoghue, a seasoned business developer at Landmark Title and a well-known speaker in the Northeast Florida real estate scene. Brit brings unmatched insight into real estate agent success, with a special focus on networking, mentorship, and agent branding. Whether you're just starting out or trying to scale, this episode delivers key lessons every agent needs to hear.

🔑 Networking: The Cornerstone of Real Estate Success

Brit emphasizes one truth: if you want to be one of the top real estate agents in Jacksonville or St. Augustine, you must build your network intentionally. Referrals are the lifeblood of this business, and they only come when agents actively create and nurture relationships.

“If you’re not connecting with others, you’re limiting your opportunities,” Brit shares.
“You need to get in the room where relationships happen.”

📱 Use Social Media to Build Credibility

Even for those who consider themselves “old school,” Brit insists that mastering social media isn’t optional. It’s how today’s real estate agents build credibility, attract clients, and grow their referral networks.

“It’s not just about posting listings. It’s about showing your face, offering value, and engaging with people in your market.”

🎓 Never Stop Learning

Brit makes it clear: agents who win are agents who never stop learning. Whether it's podcasts, audiobooks, or CE classes, ongoing education gives you the confidence to lead and the tools to serve. Events like Real Estate Masterminds and educational seminars are prime opportunities to both learn and connect with power players in your market.

🤝 Find a Mentor, Find Success

One of Brit’s biggest pieces of advice to any new agent is this: find a mentor early.

“A mentor shortens the learning curve and gives you access to a network you couldn’t build alone.”

Mentorship helps new agents avoid costly mistakes and opens doors to business connections that would otherwise take years to develop.

🚀 Bottom Line: Build Influence with Purpose

If your goal is to stand out among the top real estate agents in Jacksonville or Ponte Vedra, you need to approach your business like a pro. That means:

• Leveraging your social media platforms.

• Constantly investing in your education.

• Surrounding yourself with mentors and high-level professionals.

These are the habits that Brit O’Donoghue not only teaches—but lives.
