Results: Established reputation as a standout boutique brokerage, attracting growth-minded agents and delivering polished, high-touch service

From Team Leader to Founder: A Brokerage with Heart

After years of leadership roles at other brokerages, Nauz Magdaleno knew exactly what she didn’t want: red tape, gatekeeping, and agents who felt like just another name on the roster. With a newborn baby at home and a bold vision in mind, she and her husband Diego launched 1Vision Real Estate in 2023. As if launching a business isn’t hard enough, they did it right in the middle of a major market downturn. 

“It was tough. Our office build-out took almost a year, and the market was at a standstill. But we knew what we were creating was different,” Nauz says. “From day one, our goal was to build a place where agents didn’t just survive, they grew.”

Fast-forward to today, where 1Vision is a vibrant, close-knit boutique brokerage based in Southern California. It’s a place where agents are treated like family, clients feel genuinely cared for, and collaborative teamwork fuels growth.

A Culture of Collaboration, Not Competition 

At 1Vision, “no gatekeeping” isn’t just a tagline. It’s a way of life.

Whether it’s a seasoned pro sharing lead-gen strategies or a new agent hosting a training on cold calling, transparency is baked into every part of the business. “We don’t close doors here,” Nauz says. “Everyone shares what works and helps each other grow.”

That culture, combined with a polished brand and modern office space, attracts agents who are serious about their growth. “We’re not looking to scale to hundreds. We want the right people. The ones who see value in what we’re building,” she adds.

Scaling Independence with Radius

When launching 1Vision, Nauz knew she needed a platform that would support her vision, not box it in. That’s why she chose Radius.

“Radius allows us to operate with freedom versus telling us how to run our business,” she says. “They give us the tools, support, and community to scale, and the platform itself really adapts to the way that we do business.”

From marketing templates and white-labeled apps to seamless compliance support, the Radius platform helped 1Vision grow from 4 agents to 49 in less than a year. With their backend operations handled, Nauz and Diego can stay focused on what matters most: building relationships, coaching agents, and delivering standout service. 

Some features and resources that Nauz highlighted as team favorites include:

• Branded mobile app for client engagement

• Ready-to-go marketing templates that save agents time and elevate brand quality

• Access to a responsive broker team, ready to help at a moment’s notice

Advice to Other Team Leaders

“Decide what kind of company you want to build, then choose the tools and partners that support that vision,” Nauz says. “With Radius, we’ve been able to grow exactly how we want, without compromise.”

For Nauz, the journey from team leader to brokerage owner has been about more than starting a business. It’s about empowering agents to succeed, giving clients a better experience, and redefining what the modern brokerage can look like.
