Ryan Serhant biography
Sales speaker Ryan Serhant entered real estate on September 15, 2008, the same day Lehman Brothers collapsed, and earned just $9,000 in his first year. Today he is one of the most recognized names in global real estate: a three-time bestselling author, Netflix star, and the founder and CEO of SERHANT., a vertically integrated brokerage that has redefined what a modern real estate company can be. His arc from broke hand model to billion-dollar broker to media and technology entrepreneur is the foundation of a speaking message that reaches far beyond real estate.
Serhant built SERHANT. from a pandemic-era startup into a national powerhouse with more than 2,000 agents across 17 states, from its New York roots to a coast-to-coast presence spanning California and Texas. The firm is a full media and technology company at its core, with an in-house film studio, an AI workflow platform called S.MPLE, and a digital education arm serving tens of thousands of professionals. It has closed billions in annual sales volume and ranks among the top brokerages in the nation. Serhant’s largest single transaction reached nearly $200 million, and his lifetime sales volume exceeds $20 billion.
Brokerage 3.0: Media, Technology, and the Future of Sales
His breakout into popular culture came through Bravo’s Million Dollar Listing: New York, where he starred for over a decade. He later headlined the Netflix series Owning Manhattan, which premiered to worldwide acclaim and returned for a second season. He is also the author of three national bestsellers, Sell It Like Serhant, Big Money Energy, and Brand It Like Serhant, which together form a complete framework for sales mastery, personal brand building, and entrepreneurial growth. What makes his story uniquely relevant to senior audiences is the company architecture behind the deals: SERHANT. was built from day one as a media company that sells real estate, not the other way around.
As a speaker, Ryan Serhant commands rooms with the same intensity that built his company. He speaks on sales performance, personal branding, entrepreneurship, and the mindset required to grow aggressively in any market. Audiences leave with actionable frameworks drawn directly from scaling a business to billions a year, and the conviction that expansion is always possible.

Essential for sales teams, executives, and entrepreneurs who know that visibility drives revenue.
Before Ryan Serhant sold a single luxury apartment, he changed the one thing in his control: his energy. In this high-voltage keynote he unpacks Big Money Energy, the confidence, commitment, and forward momentum he sees in every high achiever he has worked with or studied. Audiences learn practical ways to project authority, quiet self-doubt, and operate as if their biggest goals are inevitable.
When Serhant founded SERHANT. in the middle of a global pandemic, he made one unconventional bet: that content, media, and technology would drive growth faster than traditional sales tactics. That bet built one of the fastest-scaling brokerages in US history. In this forward-looking keynote he explains the strategic logic of a brand-first, media-first organization, and why the companies that embrace the model will lead their industries.
