What bold move would you make if you knew your entire team’s future was on the line?
In this episode of the Real Estate Excellence Podcast, Tracy Hayes sits down with Corey Hasting for his third appearance — this time unveiling the biggest pivot of his career. At just 27, Corey launched a boutique Engel & Völkers franchise in Jacksonville Beach and scaled it into five thriving offices with 138 agents. But instead of resting on awards and billion-dollar sales, he shocked the market by transitioning his entire brokerage to Christie’s International Real Estate First Coast.
Corey opens up about the 18-month journey, the risks, the sleepless nights, and the why behind the move. He shares how he retained almost every agent through the shift, why brand power and growth potential drove his decision, and how Christie’s global reach and tech innovation will elevate luxury real estate in Northeast Florida.
