Expert Partners

What Expert Partners does

Expert Partners is a privately held coaching and training company serving individual real estate agents, team leaders, and brokers. Founded in 2012 by industry veterans Don Hobbs and Allison Gaddy — who together bring more than five decades of combined real estate and personal development experience — the firm is structured around four core service lines: 1-on-1 Coaching, LIVE and on-demand Training, Webinars featuring panels of agents and best-selling authors, and LIVE/Online Events such as bootcamps and seminars. Its flagship productized offering, Gateway to Mastery (launched 2024), is an 8-week self-paced online course delivered through a dedicated member portal, combining 7 training modules, 8 implementation workshops, 200+ pages of worksheets and templates, and 6 bonus courses, priced between $777 and $1,497.

The underlying technology is a conventional learning management system: a member portal (members.expertpartners.com) hosting on-demand video, worksheets, and a private community, paired with webinar/virtual event tooling for live sessions. There is no disclosed AI/ML capability, no public API, and no mobile app; differentiation rests on the founders' personal brand, curated content library, and a speaker bureau that books Hobbs, Gaddy, and affiliated thought leaders (Larry Kendall, Bob Burg, Sean Swarner) at conferences and corporate events. The company has been featured in Forbes, USA Today, The New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Post, Business Insider, Apple News, and the National Association of Realtors.

The business model blends one-time course purchases (Gateway to Mastery), recurring coaching retainers, and event-based revenue from paid workshops, bootcamps, and speaking engagements. Go-to-market is sales-led and community-led, leveraging the founders' media presence, live events, webinars, and a referral network of coaching partners to drive enrollment. Customer concentration is low — the addressable base is the long tail of U.S. (and selectively global) real estate professionals — though no revenue, ARR, or active-customer figures are publicly disclosed. Headcount is reported at 1–10, and the firm has not raised institutional capital or executed M&A.
