The Founder's Circle

Six months of direct, working partnership with John and Alex. Not a course. Not a coaching program. Not a mastermind with forty people on a call. This is active, strategic collaboration — reserved for a very small number of producing agents and serious investors who have outgrown everything else.

Membership is by application and approval only. Capacity is deliberately limited and spots are not always available.

The next cohort is not yet open. Join the waitlist below to be considered when a seat becomes available.

This Is Not For Everyone

The Founder's Circle was built for a specific operator. Not someone still learning how to generate leads. Not someone looking for a self-paced course to fit around their schedule. This is for the agent or investor who already has production behind them — and is ready to compress years of positioning, negotiation, and scaling mistakes into six months of direct strategic partnership with people who have already made them.

If you are still building your foundation, The Closing Table course or The Boardroom will serve you better right now. Come back when you have outgrown them.

If you already have momentum and you know your next constraint is not information but execution and access — keep reading.

Who The Founder's Circle Is For

Agents

You are producing but your income is still directly tied to personal effort — and you recognize that ceiling has to break

You are evaluating team structure, your first leverage hire, or operational systems that let you scale without burnout

You want a strategic partner who will underwrite your business plan and challenge your numbers — not someone reading scripts on a group call

You are past the point of needing motivation and ready for someone who will tell you exactly what they would do in your position — and why

Investors

You have closed deals and you are ready to scale — more doors, stronger yield, or a disciplined move into a new asset class

You want direct underwriting support and deal-level review from someone actively deploying capital in the same markets

You are allocating real capital and you want experienced eyes stress-testing your assumptions before you commit

You are building toward financial independence through real estate and you want a strategic partner for that trajectory — not a curriculum

What The Founder's Circle Includes

Every element is structured around direct access, real accountability, and measurable outcomes across a six-month engagement.

Weekly 1-on-1 Sessions with John and Alex — Not a group call. Not a recorded module. A dedicated weekly session with both founders focused entirely on your business, your active deals, and your specific objectives for the engagement period.

Direct Deal Review and Underwriting Support — Bring every deal to the table before you move on it. We run the numbers with you, pressure-test your assumptions, and give you our honest assessment — not the answer you are hoping for.

Business Strategy and Operational Planning — Whether you are building an agent team or scaling a portfolio, we co-develop your strategy, reverse-engineer your production targets, and hold you accountable to the execution framework we build together.

Access to Our Professional Network — Title, lending, legal, development, property management. We open our professional network to Founder's Circle members directly. These are relationships built over decades and they are not available through any course or program.

All Courses, Tools, and Resources Included — Every course, every tool, every resource in The Closing Class library is included and available throughout your six months.

Direct Communication Between Sessions — You are not waiting until next week's session to get a time-sensitive answer. Founder's Circle members have direct access between sessions for decisions that cannot wait.

What Six Months Produces

This is the only question that matters. Not what is included — what actually changes in your business.

In six months of Founder's Circle, members build a written strategic plan with real production math behind it and an execution framework they are already operating inside of. Agents who came in running solo leave with the foundation of a team or the operational systems that make one viable. Investors who came in with one or two closings leave with a defined portfolio strategy, tighter underwriting discipline, and at least one significant deal reviewed and stress-tested before they deployed capital.

The most consistent thing we hear from members at the end of their six months is not that they learned more — it is that they stopped second-guessing themselves. They execute faster, with more conviction, and with better outcomes. That shift is what direct partnership produces. That is what this engagement is built for.

Why This Is Different

You are working with principals, not staff. Every session is with John and Alex directly. Not a junior coach. Not a certified facilitator who completed a training program. The people on the call are the same people who built the business, underwrote the deals, and are still actively operating in every vertical we teach. There is no delegation layer between you and the decision-makers.

Brutal honesty is built into the structure. We will tell you when your deal does not pencil. We will tell you when your pro forma has a gap. We will tell you when you are about to repeat a mistake we already absorbed the cost of learning. If you want someone to affirm every decision you bring to the table, this is the wrong program. If you want someone who will give you the same candor they would give a partner with capital on the line — this is exactly right.

This is a partnership, not a service. The Founder's Circle is not transactional. We invest in your outcomes because our reputation is built on them. When you produce results, this program works. That alignment of incentives matters and it governs how we show up every single week.

The network is institutional quality. The connections you build inside Founder's Circle — with us and with the other members — are relationships forged through real work, real capital deployment, and real accountability. That is a fundamentally different quality of network than anything assembled inside a large-format program or a generic mastermind.

The People You Work With

John Lee has spent more than 20 years operating across every level of real estate. Licensed agent. Co-founder of a Florida title company. Active multifamily investor. Land developer delivering affordable manufactured housing communities in Southwest Florida. John has been on nearly every side of the closing table and is still actively transacting in all of these verticals today. When he reviews your deal or your business plan, he is drawing on closings from this quarter — not a decade ago.

Alex Brandimore left a tenured academic career to build a real estate portfolio from the ground up. Short-term rentals, long-term holds, Section 8 housing, flips, and affordable manufactured homes. She brought the analytical rigor of a researcher and the conviction of someone who put everything on the line to build something of her own. Alex's ability to deconstruct complex decisions into clear, executable frameworks is one of the most valuable things Founder's Circle members consistently identify at the end of their engagement.

Join the Waitlist

The Founder's Circle is not always open. When a seat becomes available, we review the waitlist first — before any public announcement. Candidates are evaluated based on where they are in their business, the clarity of what they are working toward, and whether this engagement is genuinely the right fit for their current stage of operation.

We take that process seriously because the people already inside this program deserve to be working alongside the right people. If that level of selectivity appeals to you rather than discouraging you, that tells us something important.

To be considered for the next available seat, contact us directly through the link below. Tell us where you are in your real estate business, what you are building toward, and why you believe the Founder's Circle is the right next step. We review every submission personally.

Founder's Circle capacity is deliberately limited. There is no guarantee of availability. Submitting a waitlist inquiry does not reserve a seat.
