Permission Granted<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\u201cIn the beginning, I thought a real estate agent was supposed to look a certain way, talk a certain way, do certain things. And so that\u2019s what I tried to be, and every time I went to work, I felt like I was playing dress-up.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sitting comfortably in a chair in a black graphic tee at KW\u2019s Mega Camp 2026 Summit Studios, Gregory Tran reflects on his early days in real estate. When he got ready for work, he always felt like he was putting on a costume \u2014 button-up shirt, dress pants, dress shoes. Back then, his business was doing okay, but he wasn\u2019t flourishing on any front \u2014 personally or professionally. Then COVID hit. It took working from home for Gregory to realize that business actually got better<\/em> when he relaxed into his own style \u2014 sartorial and otherwise.<\/p>\n

A glance at Gregory\u2019s Instagram channel shows he\u2019s built a winning brand<\/a> and business by staying true to his personality (including deadpan humor and a pair of signature red sandals). Behind the relaxed exterior is an agent who knows his stuff: Gregory is a member of Gary Keller\u2019s Top Agents Mastermind group, and in 2026, he was named a top producer\u00a0 at Keller Williams\u00ae Austin SW Market Center.<\/p>\n

But the transition from what Gregory believed he needed to do to build a winning business to what actually drove success took years. In addition to dressing for the part he thought he was meant to play, Gregory built out a sizeable team of agents, following the example of other agents around him. But there was one big problem. He didn\u2019t like managing people \u2014 and it showed. A self-described introvert, Gregory found it draining to support his team, and he craved solitude.<\/p>\n

Just before the pandemic, most of Gregory\u2019s team had left, and he found himself at an inflection point, questioning his efficacy as an agent and business owner. It was only then that he finally considered the advice of his operations director: Work with a coach.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
