The 2026 Social Media Playbook for Agent Recruiting & Retention

Recruiting and retaining top real estate agents has changed — and most brokerages don’t realize it until it’s already costing them talent. In this live fireside chat, Dina Brannan, Founder & CEO of Table Media Group, sits down with Mike Allton from Agorapulse to break down what real estate brokers and owners need to understand about modern agent recruiting and retention. Today’s agents are no longer waiting for cold calls or interview invites. They are evaluating your brokerage long before the conversation ever happens — through your social media presence, leadership visibility, culture, and consistency. This conversation dives into how brokerages can build a recruiting engine that works 24/7, even when leadership is busy running the business. In this episode, you’ll learn: * Why agents decide on your brokerage before the interview * How social media has become a pre-recruiting tool, not just marketing * The real difference between claimed culture and proven culture * Why inactivity and copy-paste content quietly repel top producers * How brokerage leaders can show up with clarity, credibility, and confidence online This session is designed for brokerage owners, managing brokers, team leaders, and real estate executives who want to attract the right agents, strengthen retention, and position their brokerage for long-term growth in a competitive market. If your recruiting efforts feel harder than they should — this conversation will reframe how you think about visibility, leadership, and strategy in today’s real estate landscape.

Scaling A Service-Based Business: Lessons from 10+ Years in the Field

In this episode of At the Table, Isaiah Hernandez sits down with Scott Hinkle and Joshua Sparks, co-founders of Property Craft, a Colorado-based damage restoration company that works extensively across commercial, municipal, and residential properties throughout the state. While many people associate restoration work with single-family homes, Property Craft’s core experience runs much deeper. Scott and Josh walk through what it takes to manage large-scale commercial projects, municipal contracts, housing authorities, and industrial cleanups—often in high-pressure, trauma-based environments where precision, compliance, and trust matter just as much as speed. The conversation traces their journey from starting the business out of a garage to scaling into multiple Colorado markets, highlighting the operational challenges of expanding a service-based business where no two jobs are alike. They share hard-earned lessons on leadership, delegation, hiring for empathy, preventing burnout in high-stress industries, and why selling value over price became a turning point in their growth. At its core, this episode is about building a service company that shows up when it matters most. From being “the voice of the property” to earning long-term trust with commercial partners, insurance professionals, and municipalities, Scott and Josh offer a real-world look at what sustainable growth actually looks like in a complex, high-stakes service business.
