Throughout 2025, Craig Witt’s leadership was defined by a relentless drive for industry reform and strategic market expansion. As CEO, Witt utilized his national platform to champion a “raise the bar” movement, becoming a vocal advocate for higher licensing standards and continuing education reform.

Witt has urged the industry to prioritize competence and ethical leadership, emphasizing that professional oversight is essential to restoring consumer trust.

Having risen from a ground-level broker/owner to the head of an international corporation, Witt leads with a hands-on perspective, combining aggressive growth with a demand for the highest professional standards in the real estate sector.
