Thank you for your time with our team this week. Nothing but rave reviews!" – Jason Waugh, President and CEO, Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices

Ashton’s unique style of presenting a message resonates with all levels of real estate experience. He was not only motivational but gave our agents a system to declutter their business, work smarter and become more profitable. As a company that has brought speakers in for decades, Ashton was one of the best!” – Dan Early, VP, Long & Foster Real Estate Inc.

When you meet real estate keynote speaker Ashton Gustafson you will quickly learn he has two passions: challenging the status quo and changing the world as we know it. Fueled by these two passions, Ashton is in the early stages of producing world changing Real Estate, Marketing, Writing and Speaking careers. He currently owns two real estate companies, speaks across the country at numerous events, authors a daily blog, and is working on his first book, Let the Music Play: A Manifesto on Making Music With Your Life, Family, and Business.

Ashton has taken the Real Estate industry by storm and is creating quite a buzz while doing so. He’s known by many as “The HOMEboy,” his trademarked version of a Real Estate Agent, and was selected by REALTOR® Magazine into the 2010 “30 Under 30″class. In 2010, Ashton was also nationally recognized again by Star Power Systems by being the youngest ever selected as a Star Power Star.

“You touched lives yesterday. I received, what Susie said was going to be the first of many, gratefulness notes for arranging your connection with us.  Our CEO Randy Rogers thought it was ‘just perfect.’ It was a homerun with your calm, funny, thoughtful style – we are grateful. Perfect customization. Our hearts say thank you, not just our heads.” – BethAnn Neynaber, Director of Professional Dev/Member Services, Tucson Association of REALTORS®

“WOW!! If you are looking for an inspiring, captivating, fresh speaker you should absolutely book Ashton Gustafson. Ashton was the key note speaker at our annual REALTORS® of Distinction Awards Luncheon. We got some of the best feedback we have ever received for this event thanks to Ashton’s message.”

Ashton was able to relate to every attendee in the audience (400 people) regardless of their age, gender, or experience level. His message was inspiring and included concrete takeaways that our REALTORS® can use in their businesses.”

One REALTOR® said she was planning to leave early, but once Ashton started speaking, she was hooked and stayed for his entire presentation. Another mentioned how it was just the message he needed to hear. She had been feeling like she had been just going through the motions recently and Ashton’s message re-energized her.

Ashton has a true gift and a great message to be conveyed to any audience.”

– Claire Hayden, Member Programs & Events Director, Charleston Trident Association of Realtors®

“Wow! What a great presentation at our Arkansas Real Estate Convention. You are a breath of fresh air with the right priorities and family values.

Thank you and I’m sure we’ll be hearing a lot about you in the future!” –Charlotte King, Weichert Realtors and King Realty Group, Ft. Smith, AR

“I wanted to follow up with you and thank you for your presentation at the Wisconsin Realtor’s Association Convention last week. Your talk was what made the convention worthwhile.

Also, I admire how you have prioritized being at home on nights and weekends.

I am looking forward to following your career as you step out into training and speaking. Keep up the good work!” -Tony Tucci, Realty Executives, 2014 President of the Realtors Association of So. Central Wisconsin

“I thoroughly enjoyed your presentation at the Wisconsin Realtors Association Convention. So much so that I came back for a couple more after lunch. Compared to most Real Estate speakers, I found your message refreshing, yet honest. Per Thomas Edison, many Realtors “miss opportunities because it’s dressed in overalls and looks like work.” Thanks for coming to Wisconsin and letting your music play.

– Ryan Olson, River Valley Realtors

He was not only motivational but gave our agents a system to de-clutter their business, work smarter and become more profitable. He impressed an audience of 450 which included new realtors to our most tenured sales agents and branch managers. We asked Ashton to cover two of his messages at our Annual Silver Team Conference and both were a hit. As a company that has brought speakers in for decades, Ashton was one of the best!”

–  Dan Early, VP Long & Foster Real Estate Inc.

– Alex Charfen, President and CEO, Charfen Institute, Founder of CDPE Designation

“I want to convey how very impressed I was with your recent presentation as a keynote speaker to our group. In addition, each and every one of our sales professionals who attended the event was gushing with praise for your message. You connected with a broad range of experience levels, and certainly age levels as well.

When I discovered the preparation and care that you took for crafting your message for our meeting, I was doubly impressed. We can’t wait to have you back is perhaps the best compliment I can bestow. Your enthusiasm was ‘on fire’ and we enjoyed every minute with you.”

– Bruce Mulhearn, Prudential California Realty President

“Truly one of the most enlightening and motivating speakers you will ever get a chance to hear. I have been licensed since 1986, been coached by the best systems, attended some of the most prolific speakers in the real estate industry . . . if you get the chance to hear Ashton Gustafson speak you will experience a truly gifted realtor who has brought his business to a new level and can share his experiences in real estate and motivate you to become better at what you do. I know I will. I listened and came out with some great ideas for lead generation, books to read and tracking daily business.

I’m a better realtor and person after your workshop and appreciate your sharing.”

– Rich DiGiovanna, Associate Broker RE/MAX Allegiance, Northern Virginia

“Best class and best in class!”

“Fantastic presentation!”

“Thank you for a great class!”

“Ashton was personal and related to our Sales associates in the ways that we preach to them, but they do not hear it from us! He was real to them. The agents felt like he was one of them. I have been in the business for over 25 years and he is one of the best speakers I have heard over the years. He does not try to sell the audience on a program or any book. He speaks to them like a real mentor and gives them easy tasks to take on to achieve success. Ashton is charismatic and funny and I would highly recommend him to any sales organization looking for a breath of fresh air!”

– R. Scott Shaheen, SVP Long & Foster Realtors, Richmond/Charlottesville

“Wow!! You are the man!! I have never heard so many positive results from a speaker and I have had my fair share of them over the years!

“I have heard many speakers since 1984 when my Real Estate career began, and listening to you this morning was a joy. I’m going to encourage my office of elite agents to listen to your “60 Daily Points of Rhythm.”

– Linda, Long & Foster Realtors, Virginia

“It was great to see you at an event in Richmond. I am thankful for your willingness to share your passion and your “template” for “The Daily Points of Rhythm.” I will surely use this in my business, as will my son who is just starting out in the business.”

“I really connected with “show up as a human.”

“Your words were truly inspiring. I have been practicing Real Estate for ten years and am a huge motivational seminar junkie. This was hands-down the best talk I’ve ever heard.”

“I have received so much wonderful feedback on our CEDA FEST 2015.  Thank you so much.

Not only is your message completely compatible with our core values & company “soul”, but your manner of presentation is respectful, genuine and so relevant.I always tell agents there is no special pill you can take to make you successful and there is no broker who can give you enough leads to build your career for you.  A spoon-fed agent will never grow up.  Your message was spot on!So thank you from the bottom of my heart!”

– Steve Goff, CEDA Realty, Broker/Owner, Plano, Texas

“Thank you for your time with our team this week. Nothing but rave reviews! If we can ever do anything for you, please ask. Great meeting You!”

“You were praised quite a bit Ashton. Ashton, you are an excellent, clear, intelligent, and heart felt speaker.  Thank you for being part of our Secrets Webinar program.” – Deb Helleren, Producer and Host of Secrets of Top Selling Agents

“What an amazing retreat we had, in large part, thanks to Ashton.  As keynote of our event, Ashton presented the perfect balance of practical ideas that can be implemented immediately, and seeing the big picture that Real Estate is a vehicle by which you design the life of your dreams.  This was our 12th annual retreat and the feedback is that it was the BEST!  Not to mention the fantastic time we had on Friday night when Ashton took the microphone and played incredible music.  What a gift this was.  It was the cherry on top.  Ashton exceeded all expectations!” – Missy MacGuire, Broker, The Platinum Group, Colorado Springs

“Our management team heard Ashton speak at the VR conference in Roanoke last Fall; we were so impressed with both his message and his delivery, that we flew him out to speak to our company as a kick off training session in January.

The agents loved him and we had lots of positive feedback – they felt that he was easy to relate to, and his message of fundamental client care and consistent business systems resonated with all.  They left with specific ideas they could implement into their business immediately, in addition to a healthy dose of inspiration.

I would highly recommend Ashton to other brokers, and we will definitely have him back again soon.”

– Liz Moore, Liz Moore & Associates, Williamsburg, VA

“As you know, bringing Ashton to Marx-Bensdorf, REALTORS was a huge deal for our small firm.

Never before have we imported a nationally known speaker to address our group.

I was hoping Ashton’s message, which I heard at the fall TAR conference here, would bore into the minds of our agents. Many are veteran agents and most are members/life member of our local Multi-Million Dollar Club.

Ashton’s sessions were superb, and his messages made an imprint on many, including Jimmy and myself (again). We received many positive comments on the day and are still receiving them.

As a side note, one of our historically successful long term agents put several of Ashton’s suggestions in place. She committed to 15 ‘points of contact’ 4 days per week.

You will recall that Ashton’s presentation was just last Tuesday, and as of yesterday she already had four appointments as a result. Bravo!” – David Tester, Co-Owner/Broker, Marx-Bensdorf, Realtors; Memphis, TN

“You touched lives yesterday. I received, what Susie said was going to be the first of many, gratefulness notes for arranging your connection with us.  Our CEO Randy Rogers thought it was ‘just perfect’ – the ideal way to kick off coming back from a holiday weekend and to start fall. One woman who was taking the call from home was yelling at her husband, ‘Come here honey you have to hear this!’ It was a homerun with your calm, funny, thoughtful style – we are grateful. Perfect customization. Our hearts say thank you, not just our heads.” – BethAnn Neynaber, Director of Professional Dev/Member Services, Tucson Association of REALTORS®
