Why you feel this person deserves this award.Richard McKinney represents what the Broker of the Year award should recognize: leadership that produces results not only for a company, but for the people and communities it serves.
During one of the most challenging real estate markets in recent memory, Richard chose to grow rather than retreat. While transaction volume declined across much of the industry, he continued investing in agents, offices, technology, lead generation, education, and training. Under his leadership, RE/MAX Gold has grown from approximately $180 million in annual sales volume to roughly $450 million, expanded its presence across the Treasure Coast and northern Palm Beaches, and created opportunities for a growing organization of real estate professionals.
More important than the numbers are the lives behind them. Richard has spent nearly three decades in real estate, personally participating in thousands of transactions while increasingly dedicating his time to coaching, mentoring and developing other REALTORS®. His philosophy is simple: a broker’s success should ultimately be measured by the success of the people he leads.
Through ongoing sales training, negotiation education, masterminds, coaching, lead-generation opportunities and direct mentorship, Richard has helped agents improve their skills, increase their production, support their families and build sustainable careers. He continues to invest heavily in education and professional development—not only for RE/MAX Gold agents, but also by opening training and industry events to REALTORS® throughout the local real estate community.
Richard’s greatest accomplishment may not be the growth of RE/MAX Gold. It is the number of people who have grown because of it.
