Our Coaches

Craig Proctor began his real estate career in 1988, and sold 27 homes that year, as a solo agent. He sold 222 homes with the help of 1 administrative assistant, and two licensed agents in 1991, at the age of 29, and was named the #1 Agent for Re/Max International. While his pursuit of success had paid off, he was growing tired of the 14 hour days and the crushing workload. When he found himself daydreaming more and more about an easier way to run his real estate business, he decided to develop his own system. By 1995, Craig started offering his Quantum Leap System to other agents, and the rest is history. While his program has undergone many changes over the years, his basic concept of offering an extensively tested, complete turnkey system for realtors has not changed. The Quantum Leap System has helped over 30,000 realtors improve their businesses, and their lives.

As a 24 year old newly licensed agent in 1994, I was fortunate to have the opportunity of joining Craig's team early in my career. Over the next 16 years the experience gained has been invaluable! Over the last 10 years my focus with Craig's organization has been transferring my knowledge with Craig's team to thousands of our Coaching students. In addition I have conducted over 300 live seminars introducing Craig's system to new agents all over North America. My specialty is in on-line lead generation and lead conversion using Craig's "Universal Call-Back Script"! In fact, members of our Coaching program join me every Thursday and Friday for my weekly Ad-Clinic and Role-Play calls!

As a single parent in 1990, Rick found gaining success as a Realtor exceptionally challenging and was forced to quit the business after an early and debilitating failure. Determined to succeed, Rick hunted down Craig's system shortly after returning to the industry, became a diligent apprentice of Craig's methods, and built himself a successful real estate business. In 2004, Rick was awarded the very coveted Quantum Leap Award and now has had the privilege himself of presenting it to deserving "Leap" members since 2006. He's spent the past 8 years working with both Craig and the agents who step forward looking for solutions to their Real Estate woes, helping them learn, implement and master Craig's system.

With the proper tools, guidance and commitment, anyone can experience their own Quantum Leap! Craig brings a degree in Marketing and his 22 years in Real Estate when helping those agents who are either just getting started or those who want to take their existing business to the next level. When he entered Real Estate from a corporate environment he was shocked at the lack of business planning and questionable marketing efforts. It was only when he encountered Craig Proctor and his systems that he knew this was a fit – a complete end to end system, matched to the market that offered proven results. Coming into the system, Craig and his wife Coleen already had some limited success in Real Estate but their results were unpredictable and they were stressed out. Now they are consistently in the top 1% of agents in their board, enjoy a predictable stream of business and are building their real estate dream team. Make a commitment, put your business in overdrive & link your success which a coach who can help focus your efforts. Let’s get started!

A little over four years ago, after having been in the real estate industry for about 24 years, Sandy had hit a ceiling of $150k in annual GCI and confesses to being tired, burnt out and ready to quit. She’d found Craig’s system years earlier but hadn’t applied it to her business. When she did join coaching herself, her anticipation was that the system would help her generate a few more leads but, instead, it completely transformed her business and her life, tripling her income and gifting her with the freedom to travel, spend quality AND quantity time with family, build a team (that includes her son), donate to a charity near to her heart, and fall back in love with the business. Realizing how powerful Craig’s entire business system was, Sandy was anxious to share this wealth and power with fellow agents by coaching them to experience the business and life-changing transformation she has herself.

Jan Castner was educated in Environmental Engineering at Pennsylvania State University (1978). Jan worked with two international engineering firms for six years. In 1984 Jan made a life changing decision to rely on his own skills and technical expertise to provide a living and not rely on a corporate environment. As such, Jan joined RSR, REALTORS® as a licensed agent in 1983. The 1980’s provide the fertile ground for evolving into a TOP 3 agent in the Harrisburg, Pennsylvania area. In 1990 Jan was offered a partnership in RSR Realtors and became a licensed Broker / Owner of the company doing both residential and commercial brokerage services. During those years, there was no internet, no email and for quite a while no multi-list. Realtors in those days just as Craig Proctor says, “had to rely on phone and one on one relationships to satisfy clients’ needs”. He learned that effective advertising and communications with leads is what creates a steady, quality income. Not only residential buyers and sellers but national and regional commercial clients such as Walmart, Tyco, Dollar General, Burger King, Geisinger Health, Phoenix Rehabilitation and a myriad of other clients have benefitted from Jan’s enormous expertise. Jan discovered the Craig Proctor System just as most members do, through a Mastermind seminar in New Jersey. Jan immediately saw that what Criag was proposing was a system of lead generation that has been proven to work. Jan started as a coaching member in 2014 and within 2 years was at Platinum success with a small residential team. Jan now has two offices, one in Pennsylvania and one in Maryland operating under the Craig Proctor system.

After a successful career in marketing and operations for both public and private companies, Bret decided to try his hand at real estate. After a couple of years, he was technically proficient at the deal but needed help in learning how to generate leads and build a real estate business. Even though he’d won awards for his production, he was struggling to find his footing. Failure was a real possibility, but not acceptable. His broker brought in Craig Proctor to speak at a half day event and Bret liked what he heard. He signed up for the next available Super Conference and it was a watershed moment – everything changed from there. Over the next year, he studied and implemented Craig’s lessons relentlessly, and it made a huge difference: Bret received the prestigious Rookie of the Year award for 2017, but that was only the beginning. As the changes and growth in his business continued to increase to ever higher levels, Bret was drafted as a Craig Proctor Coach! This program has made such a tremendous difference in his life, he has decided to help others by coaching agents to achieve success.

I first discovered the Craig Proctor System in early 2013. It was like finding buried treasure. After having sold real estate for about 6 years, I thought this could be the missing piece to the roller coaster ‘job’ I currently had so I could sell more homes and have a steady income. Now almost 5 years later, I have found this is not just a system for selling real estate, what we learn here is a complete real estate business solution and I am very passionate about it. It’s amazing to see other members doing the same thing as you successfully and have them to mastermind, share opportunities and celebrate successes with. Numbers tell stories and there are thousands of people around north America who have Craig to thank for their success. I look forward to sharing what I know and helping others in the Craig Proctor system tell their own future story of success.
