We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Max Menne. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Max below.

Max, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today We’d love to hear you experience with and lessons learned from recruiting and team building.

The Prestige Real Estate Network was born from a passion for fostering growth, collaboration, and success within the real estate industry. We recognized a need for a community where agents could connect, share knowledge, and elevate each other’s careers. Prestige isn’t just a name; it’s a promise to create a supportive, innovative, and dynamic environment where everyone thrives.

This network provides its members with unparalleled access to resources, training, and mentorship opportunities. From skill-building workshops to market insights and monthly mastermind sessions, Prestige equips agents with the tools they need to grow their businesses and deliver exceptional client experiences.

Our mission is simple: empower agents to exceed their potential and cultivate a culture of excellence, integrity, and partnership. Together, we’re redefining what it means to succeed in real estate.

As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?

I’m a realtor with eXp Realty, based in Blaine, MN, but I serve clients across the entire state. My journey into real estate started with a pivotal conversation where someone I deeply admire asked me, “Who is your loyalty to?” That question sparked a fire within me to build a business that values trust, relationships, and helping people navigate one of the most significant decisions of their lives.

I specialize in helping first-time homebuyers, families relocating, and those looking to build their dream homes. My goal is to make the process as smooth and stress-free as possible by offering strategic guidance, detailed planning, and unwavering support from start to finish. I don’t just sell homes—I help my clients move forward, whether they’re upgrading, downsizing, or starting fresh.

What sets me apart is my young, mature mindset and my unique approach. I’m not just here for the transaction; I’m here for the journey. My clients know I’ll be their quarterback, guiding them through every play, ensuring they feel confident and supported. Plus, I have a knack for making the process fun, even when it feels overwhelming!

One thing I’m incredibly proud of is the way real estate has transformed my life. Just a year ago, I was questioning my path, but today I’m thriving, surrounded by an incredible team and amazing clients. Whether it’s hosting a workshop, celebrating a sale with a Traeger or Blackstone gift, or sharing tips on my Free Tip Tuesday series, I’m committed to adding value and creating meaningful connections.

The main thing I want people to know is that real estate is more than a job for me—it’s a way to help others achieve their goals and dreams. Whether you’re buying your first home, looking for investment opportunities, or considering a career in real estate, I’m here to help you plan your next steps with clarity and confidence.

Have you ever had to pivot?

In the early stages of my real estate career, I hit a point where I realized that the traditional approach to buying and selling homes wasn’t going to cut it. The market was shifting, client expectations were evolving, and I needed to find a way to stand out. That’s when I made a bold decision to pivot from focusing solely on transactions to building meaningful, long-term relationships with my clients and team.

One of the biggest changes I made was starting the Prestige Real Estate Network. I saw a gap in the industry—agents needed a space to collaborate, learn, and grow. Instead of competing with each other, we created a culture of sharing and mutual success. This pivot not only helped me grow as a leader but also expanded opportunities for agents in the network.

For my clients, I introduced value-add touches like gifting Traegers or Blackstones at closings and creating free resources like workshops and social media series (Free Tip Tuesday). I also started focusing on education—helping first-time homebuyers feel empowered, demystifying the relocation process, and guiding new construction buyers.

Can you tell us about what’s worked well for you in terms of growing your clientele?

Recruiting Agents
The most effective strategy for bringing agents into my business has been building relationships and leading by example. Instead of focusing on hard pitches, I share my journey and the real impact of being part of a supportive network like the Prestige Real Estate Network. Hosting events like monthly script battles and mastermind sessions has been key—agents see firsthand the value of collaboration, training, and a culture that celebrates growth.

I also make sure to highlight how our network focuses on more than just transactions. From providing mentorship to offering resources that help agents succeed in any market, it’s clear that joining Prestige isn’t just about numbers—it’s about creating a career you can be proud of.

Growing Clientele
For growing my clientele, authenticity and added value have been game-changers. Social media has been one of my most powerful tools—sharing relatable, educational, and even funny content helps me connect with people on a personal level. For example, my Free Tip Tuesday series educates clients about real estate topics while keeping it engaging and easy to understand.

Additionally, hosting workshops and staying active in the community have helped me position myself as a trusted resource. Clients know they can rely on me to simplify complex processes, whether they’re buying their first home, relocating, or investing in new construction.

Ultimately, both recruiting agents and growing my clientele boil down to one thing: building trust. Whether it’s through a conversation, a workshop, or simply showing up consistently, people know I’m here to help them succeed.
