CONGRATS AND WELCOME, 2023 TOP 500 AGENTS!
If you are reading this, then you should give yourself a big pat on the back! That means you have made the Real Producers Top 500 list for 2023! CONGRATS! Each of you should have received a text and email from us with some important information, along with your Real Producers DFW Top Agent badge for 2023. If you didn’t receive that, be sure to reach out and let us know.
For some of you, this is the first time you are receiving this publication, and you may not know entirely what it is all about yet. Others of you have been a part of the Real Producers community every month since 2018. Either way, you will want to tune in to the rest of this publisher’s note because I am going to give you a bit of a recap on what we’re all about, as well as fill you in on some new and exciting changes that are coming to Real Producers in 2023.

First, you are receiving this magazine because you are a top 500-producing real estate agent (based on your annual residential MLS production numbers) in your given area! That means that you will receive this publication, which is exclusive to the highest-producing agents in the market, every single month for the next 12 months. Consider it a badge of honor!
Being in the top 500, you also have the opportunity to be featured in our publication to share your story, and the beautiful thing is, there is no cost to you. It is a testament to you and your hard work! It is important to note that Real Producers is not a brag book. To be in the top 1-2% in your field takes a lot of grit, passion, hard work, trials, tribulations, and a strong “why” to keep pushing on.
Real Producers is about sharing and honoring those stories and humanizing you and your peers to create a culture of honor and collaboration that propels us all to the next level. We certainly cannot guarantee a feature, but if you would like to be considered for one, here are a few quick tips to increase your chances: meet up with a member of our team, support Real Producers, and attend our private events when you can. If that doesn’t work for you, we also accept large sums of money. Kidding! No agent can buy their way into Real Producers. Your support means the world to us.
All of the businesses that are a part of Real Producers have been recommended by top-producing agents and vetted by us. They are our Real Producers Vetted Businesses, and this community could not be possible without them! If you are looking for some of the best businesses in the market to work with, look no further than here. When you meet one, be sure to thank them for supporting and investing in you.
There are four Real Producers’ markets in DFW: North Dallas, Dallas, North Fort Worth, and Fort Worth Real Producers. With approximately 60,000 licensed real estate agents in DFW, Real Producers collectively brings together the top 2,000 producing real estate agents and vetted businesses! Huge congrats to each and every one of you. Be sure to reference the DFW Map and FAQ page in this publication for more details: www.dfwrealproducers.com is a great resource for information, as well!
Last year was an amazing one for the Real Producers community, and we cannot wait to make

If you haven’t met Kyle Karker at a Real Producers event yet, then you haven’t been to a Real Real Producers event. Kyle is always described as the life of the party, the bold guy in the property management wizard shirt, or the last one there because he can’t seem to leave until he has met every single person.
And it’s not for the sake of just trying to gain business — it’s real. Kyle Karker and Scotty Mitchell co-founded American Real PM in 2017 with the goal of bringing a new attitude to the property management field. And over the last couple of years, they have developed some impactful core values that anyone can take inspiration from.
“Our values really guide the way that we work with those around us. They describe the way we really strive to go beyond and provide a unique edge for our partners and their clients,” he says.
“They include first, being unapologetically real; second, working with unshakable trust; third, moving to create daily growth; and fourth, providing elite expertise.”
Unapologetically Real
As Kyle says, “This value is about working with a sense of ease and freedom, as well as alignment and attraction. We have fun every day, we accept and celebrate who each other is, and we inspire and empower people.”
Unshakable Trust
The outcome that Kyle and his team strive for is for people to be confident in the fact that they can rely on American Real PM.
“With that in mind, we do what we say … when we say we’re going to do it,” Kyle points out. “We also take time to understand and to show that we care. Plus, we communicate consistently, respond promptly, and we are accountable to ourselves and each other.”
Daily Growth
This value is focused on the fact that doing your best makes everyone better and more successful.
“As we say it, a better you makes a better us,” Kyle emphasizes. “We measure progress and celebrate wins together. We also know that small actions, plus consistency over time, equals powerful improvement. We work with a sense of persistence, and we see no limits. Along the way, we tie that all together by encouraging each other.”
Elite Expertise
“With this value, we lead with confidence,” Kyle explains. “With that in mind, we focus on the ‘why’ before we look at the ‘how.’ We also believe in constant and never-ending improvement. Plus, we operate with integrity from knowledge.”
Putting It All Together
Kyle is the co-founder of the company with Scotty Mitchell. His emphasis on supporting his REALTOR® partners is no coincidence. It’s a direct result of his own experience.

“I started in real estate in New York City in 2005. In the process, I worked for 13 years selling and renting places, eventually starting my own brokerage in 2014 before coming to Dallas,” Kyle explains.
“I understand the business deeply. We’re not here to sell houses. Our main focus is to protect the relationships that agents have with their clients. Our role is to manage these properties in between the transactions. We work to help them do more deals because we believe that if a client has a really good property management experience, more houses will be sold.”
Making A Difference
Those who work with Kyle experience a fun, fresh approach to property management — and business development.
“We focus on excellence. Also, since we manage so much property, the owner naturally comes to us to sell a house we manage. We refer those deals to preferred partners, or whoever it was that referred the deal in the first place, and we guarantee the commission if we don’t,” he says.
“Those deals get referred to our preferred partners. Plus, we also have an active real estate investor database of more than 30,000 people that was built over a number of years. We’re going to start to market sales to these investors. We aren’t going to write those deals. Again, these will be referrals to agents we work with.”
Family Foundation
Life for Kyle is made much more rewarding by his family, including his wife, Ilana, and their 15-month-old son, Rory.

In his free time, Kyle has a passion for golf. In fact, he played the game at the Division I level in college. He also works out with a personal trainer and enjoys fly-fishing and outdoor activities.
Growing up, Kyle was an all-county bass player and toured around Chile with an orchestra, where he learned to speak Spanish fluently.
He also takes pride in working with other local people to support disabled veterans, as well as the Creek & Timber Legacy, and other causes important to local REALTORS®, like Sharp Shoes and Missions to Haiti with Alan Billman.
Congratulations to Kyle and the team at American Real PM. Through time they continue to offer a blend of genuine expertise and experience … being real with their values and results.
