Challenge: Scaling an independent brokerage while managing operations, technology, and growth
Solution: Transitioned to Radius for a fully integrated brokerage platform
Result: Streamlined operations, accelerated agent growth, and enhanced client experience
Background
Before founding The Keystone Team, Cyrus Mohseni had an unexpected journey from professional soccer to real estate. When an injury ended his athletic career, Cyrus dove headfirst into real estate. After getting licensed, he quickly discovered that traditional brokerages were not designed for the rapid growth he had in mind:
He decided to take the leap and start an independent brokerage, less than 90 days of getting his license. “I just knew I wanted to do something different, and I didn’t know anybody else that could do it.”
The Challenge
Building a high producing team requires hiring the right agents. For Cyrus, values are everything. “I call my vision and values ‘LIDS’ because it should always be at the top of your head,” said Cyrus. The acronym stands for Loyalty, Integrity, Drive, and Service, and he ensures everyone he brings on embodies these values. Everyone at The Keystone Team is genuine, driven, and hungry for growth.
Despite early success, including $30 million in sales his first year, he faced a harsh reality: running a brokerage is a complex, expensive, and all-consuming endeavor. Bogged down by administrative and operational burdens, Cyrus soon found himself struggling to provide his team with the support they needed.
But instead of spending his time coaching and mentoring associates, operating an independent brokerage meant Cyrus had to:
Build and manage his own tech stack using disparate "bolt-on" tools
Handle backend operations, accounting, and compliance on his own
Pay agents quickly and accurately with minimal infrastructure
Field all agent questions and troubleshoot all technical issues
Recruit and onboard new agents
Follow up with his own clients in a timely manner
Why Radius?
At the root of Cyrus’ frustration was his tech stack. While he made sure to implement the best platforms available at the time, they were all bolt-on products connected through APIs. This created a cumbersome system where he could only hope each piece of the patchwork system would work together seamlessly. Too often, they did not.
Not only did clunky tech disrupt day-to-day work, it also caused payment delays and stifled Keystone’s ability to expand to new states. Cyrus sought an all-in-one platform to reliably streamline transactions, compliance, and client engagement. This last piece was crucial for Keystone, who’d become known for their personalized, compassionate client service: “My company's job is to ensure clients are taken care of and feel comfortable throughout the process, which can be very stressful. My goal is to bring that stress level down as much as possible and help clients navigate this insane process.”
When he discovered Radius, the decision was clear.
By partnering with Radius, Cyrus gained:
Integrated technology that replaces fragmented tools with one unified platform
Real-time agent payouts upon close—no more week-long delays
Effortless expansion into new states without new infrastructure
A custom-branded client app, centralized communication, AI-powered insights
Results
With Radius powering his backend operations and client insights, Cyrus can devote more time to coaching, recruiting, and expanding Keystone. Both his admin team and his associates are more productive thanks to intuitive automation and contextual AI throughout the platform. And Cyrus knows this is just the beginning.
Since partnering with Radius, the Keystone Team has boosted performance from every angle:
Increased agent productivity through simplified tools and better support
Faster expansion across multiple markets thanks to Radius’s operational backbone
Streamlined operations, allowing Cyrus to focus on coaching and scaling his team
Elevated client service, with a more personalized and consistent experience across transactions
Advice to Team Leaders and Indie Brokers
“Run, don’t walk. Learn to lose quick. Just because you’ve invested in your current setup doesn’t mean you should stay there. If you’re serious about growing faster and smarter, Radius is the move.”
