Brian Buffini

In a year marked by industry-wide uncertainty and shifting market dynamics, Brian Buffini served as a vital anchor for the real estate community. Throughout 2025, the founder of Buffini & Company—the largest training and coaching organization in North America—focused on “cutting through the noise” to provide agents with a clear, data-driven roadmap for success. His mid-year “Bold Predictions” broadcast in August set the tone for the industry, where he accurately analyzed the stabilizing market and provided agents with the tactical skills necessary to thrive amidst fluctuating interest rates and regulatory changes.

Buffini’s commitment to agent empowerment reached a new peak in late 2025 with the announcement of a massive $1,200 membership upgrade for his clients at no additional cost, introducing a state-of-the-art suite of tools designed for the 2026 landscape. His year culminated in his highly anticipated 2026 Housing Forecast, where he collaborated with top experts like Dr. Lawrence Yun and Kevin O’Leary to separate “fact from fiction” for thousands of real estate professionals. By prioritizing mindset, skillset and financial discipline, Buffini continues to prove why he is a Luminary whose influence has shaped the professional standards of the industry for nearly three decades.
