Steve Johnstone’s Role in Build Africa 2025

Steve wears many hats. He’s a seasoned real estate coach, a leader at eXp Realty, and the visionary behind Build Africa 2025.

As the host of this transformative conference, Steve has created a space where real estate professionals can learn, grow, and connect.

Scheduled for February 25-27, 2025, this event promises to go beyond traditional real estate conferences. It’s not just about improving your business but also about fostering personal and professional growth in every area of your life.

Build Africa 2025: A Game-Changer for Real Estate Professionals

Build Africa 2025 isn’t just another conference. It’s an experience. Here’s what makes it so unique and impactful.

Origins and Vision

Steve shared how the inspiration for Build Africa came from the “BUILD” conferences by Brent Gove in the US. These events focus on more than just real estate transactions but encourage attendees to embrace personal, spiritual, and professional growth.

That same vision is what drives Build Africa. It’s a space where professionals can reflect on their goals, recharge their motivation, and gain actionable insights for both their careers and their lives.

Unprecedented Growth and Global Recognition

Over the past two years, Build Africa has grown into a global phenomenon. The first conference welcomed notable eXp leaders, like Brent Gove and Gene Frederick. In its second year, South Africa played host to top agents like Jennifer Jones, Randy Dick, and even eXp’s founder, Glenn Sanford.

The attention this conference has drawn to South Africa’s real estate market is nothing short of remarkable. It has become a hub for global leaders to share their expertise and inspire others.

Key Features That Set Build Africa Apart

One thing that stands out about Build Africa is that it’s led by agents for agents. Unlike corporate-run events, it offers real-world insights from professionals who have succeeded in the trenches of real estate.

Steve also made it clear that this conference avoids generic motivational speakers. Instead, it prioritizes practitioners who bring practical, actionable strategies to the table.

Add to that the incredible networking opportunities, and you have a truly transformative event.

What’s New for 2025

This year’s lineup of speakers is nothing short of extraordinary. Steve highlighted Chuck and Angela Fazio, who built the largest single-office brokerage in the world. Their story is both inspiring and deeply moving.

Another keynote speaker is Leo Robles, a top-performing agent who has closed thousands of transactions. Hearing from professionals of this caliber is an opportunity that can’t be missed.

Steve also emphasized the inclusion of South African agents, ensuring diverse perspectives that resonate with local professionals.

Why Build Africa Is for Everyone

You don’t need to be an eXp agent to attend Build Africa. The conference welcomes professionals from all brokerages, including Keller Williams and REMAX. Even other professionals involved in this line of business, from mortgage brokers to investors, can join the event. The focus is on collaboration, learning, and growth, making it relevant to anyone in the industry.

Steve explained how Build Africa encourages attendees to think beyond their businesses and prioritize a balanced life.

And, for me, it’s like podcasting. Attending conferences is a powerful way to learn from industry experts, gain fresh perspectives, and build a strong network!
