We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Dave Caskey a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Dave , thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today Let’s start with the story of your mission. What should we know?
The Vision Behind FastForward Movement LA
By Dave Caskey
In a career spanning decades, I’ve had a front-row seat to the evolution of real estate, from building one of the area’s first full-service teams to co-owning a Christie’s International Real Estate brokerage. But nothing compares to the shift we’re seeing right now.
The traditional model was built for brokers. Today, the power belongs with agents, as it should. The tools, training, and opportunities now available make it possible for driven professionals to scale their businesses faster, smarter, and with more control than ever before.
That’s exactly why I joined eXp Realty. The platform is purpose-built for top-performing agents, offering greater freedom, cutting-edge support, and the kind of financial upside that’s simply not possible with outdated brokerage structures. You keep more of your earnings, build your personal brand, and gain access to world-class training and tech — all while spending less.
It’s also why we launched FastForward Movement LA.
We’ve created a collaborative network of high-performing agents across Los Angeles who are ready to grow strategically and build long-term wealth. As part of a national FastForward collective, we share what’s working, from first hires to six-figure months to building a business that supports your life, not the other way around. This isn’t just about closing deals. It’s about building something sustainable and having fun while doing it.
Ownership here is shared. So is success.
If you’re serious about growing your business and want to collaborate with agents who are doing just that, FastForward Movement LA offers the structure, mentorship, and community to help you do it.

Dave , love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?
A Southern California native and longtime Manhattan Beach resident, I launched my real estate career after earning a Master’s in Real Estate Finance from USC and becoming a licensed general contractor. Early on, I built my foundation by renovating homes and working bank-owned properties, developing a hands-on understanding of the market that still sets me apart today.
As Principal of Caskey Real Estate Group, I lead one of the region’s top-performing teams, known for our collaborative culture, personalized service, and consistent results. My approach is always client-first, backed by strategic deal-making, strong relationships, and a commitment to excellence that has earned me a steady stream of repeat clients and referrals.
Now, as a founding partner of FastForward Movement LA, a high-performance real estate collective powered by eXp Realty, I’m creating a platform to develop the next generation of elite agents. I mentor with intention, offering guidance on everything from sales mastery and brand strategy to scalable systems and residual income growth beyond commissions.
Whether I’m marketing a luxury estate, negotiating a complex transaction, or helping an agent build a thriving business, I bring the same goal to every interaction: to help people win and grow in a constantly evolving real estate landscape.
How’d you build such a strong reputation within your market?
Consistency and relationships. I’ve always believed real estate is a long game. It’s not just about the next transaction; it’s about showing up for your clients, your team, and your community over and over again. I built my reputation by being dependable and deeply involved in the South Bay. People know I care about this place because I live, work, and raise my family here. That local knowledge and personal investment create trust, and trust is everything in this business. I’ve also surrounded myself with great people who share those values, and that’s helped build a brand that people know they can count on.
What’s been the best source of new clients for you?
Referrals, hands down. When you consistently deliver great service and results, people talk. Most of our new business comes from past clients, local families, and agents in our network who trust us to take care of their people. We’ve also built a strong presence in the community through schools, sports, and local events, and that keeps us top of mind when someone’s ready to make a move. Relationships have always been the foundation of our growth.
