You Don’t Have to Fit In to Stand Out

I didn’t come from sales. I didn’t go to business school. I gave rickshaw tours in San Francisco. And when I got into real estate, I was convinced I wasn’t “agent enough.” But the more I leaned into who I really was, the more my business grew.
Today, I’ve built a $60M+ business and help other agents do the same — not by following outdated scripts, but by building brands rooted in authenticity.

I’m Cory Sherman, aka The Misfit Agent.

If you’ve ever felt like this industry wasn’t built for you… maybe it’s because you’re here to rebuild it.

No Scripts. No Gimmicks. Just Real Results.

How I Help Misfit Agents Win Their Way

Training

Forget the robotic scripts and cookie-cutter slideshows. My workshops help agents show up more powerfully as themselves — and close more deals because of it. Built for connection. Rooted in results. Backed by KWU.

Speaking

Raw, real, and radically different. My keynote breaks down why doing things your own way isn’t a liability — it’s your biggest advantage. Equal parts motivational, practical, and hilarious (when it needs to be).

Coaching

You don’t need to change your personality — you need a strategy that fits it. My coaching helps you build a business around who you really are, with clear systems, smart marketing, and zero burnout.

Real connection builds loyalty, and loyalty builds sales.

Real stories from real agents

From Misfits to Market Leaders

"Before working with Cory, I felt like I had to ‘act’ like a real estate agent to be taken seriously. Now, I just show up as myself — and my business has never been stronger. His coaching helped me stop overthinking and start owning my voice. Total game-changer."

— Emily R.

"Cory’s training landed harder than any other speaker we’ve brought in. He didn’t give my agents a script — he gave them permission. Permission to show up real, to stop hiding, and to build smarter. The results? Better conversations. More contracts. And way more confidence."

— Jason P.

"We needed a keynote that would actually resonate — not just check a box. Cory blew our expectations out of the water. He was funny, vulnerable, and deeply relevant. Agents left feeling seen, inspired, and ready to take real action."

— Sandra V.

"After 12 years in the business, I felt burned out and invisible. Cory helped me rebuild — not by adding more noise, but by helping me simplify, focus, and reconnect with why I started. I’m having my best year ever and actually loving it again."

— Marcus J.
