In today’s episode, I sit down with Phillip Cantrell, the founder of Benchmark Realty and a respected leader in the real estate industry. From starting Benchmark in 2006 to growing it into one of the largest independent brokerages in Tennessee—and now being part of United Real Estate—Phillip shares his journey, leadership principles, and what it takes to build a brokerage that empowers agents to thrive.

We talk about:

• How he built Benchmark from the ground up during a market downturn
• His innovative approach to brokerage models and agent growth
• The importance of culture, systems, and high standards
• Lessons from his background in business and leadership
• How our shared faith in Christ is the true foundation for lasting success in both life and business

This conversation is packed with insights that every real estate professional can learn from—whether you’re an agent looking to grow your business, or someone interested in what it takes to build a powerhouse brokerage rooted in integrity and faith.
