Under new management, and with the support of the top-producing agents in North America, StarPower continues its 20-year tradition of elevating the standard of care in the real estate industry. 

Kristan Cole of The Kristan Cole Team, Keller Williams Realty Alaska Group, recently attended and was a guest speaker at the Star Power Advance in Las Vegas.   StarPower, the number-one brand in real estate education, announced a transition of leadership from Howard Brinton to Alex Charfen, a leading trainer, author, coach, speaker and StarPower Star.  

“StarPower will remain the most relevant, recognized leader in real estate education,” Charfen said. “With the dedicated involvement of our StarPower Stars, the contributions to the advancement of the real estate industry and our success as an organization are assured.” 

Founded by industry icon Howard Brinton, StarPower is an organization focused on elevating the standard of care in the real estate industry. Each month a new StarPower Star is selected based upon achievements in sales, leadership, business acumen and a willingness to share the lessons of their success with others. This has helped StarPower Stars typically average more than $35 million in annual sales volume and more than 200 transactions per year. Less than 300 real estate agents have achieved the distinction of StarPower Star, making it the most exclusive designation in the industry. 

After news of the transition was presented at Star Advance, StarPower Star Kristan Cole announced support of the new management and strategic direction of the StarPower brand. 

“I couldn’t be more excited to be a part of the future of StarPower, and to increase our positive impact upon the real estate community,” Cole said. 

“In the current economic climate, we have the opportunity to make a real difference in the personal and professional lives of countless real estate professionals,” Kristan  added. “As a StarPower Stars and leaders in our market, there is a responsibility to share the lessons of our success with others. In this way, StarPower Stars are actively improving the industry we have chosen to be a part of.” 

On a monthly basis, StarPower Club members receive the strategies, tools, insights and perspectives that have helped StarPower Stars realize success. The StarPower Annual Conference, one of the best-attended conferences in the industry each year, will continue its presence on the real estate calendar. Details on the conference will be announced in the near future, Charfen said.
