Our Story

What began as a simple premise – capturing and sharing the successful strategies of top-producing agents – has turned into one of the most influential organizations in real estate industry history. Since its inception, STAR POWER has raised the standard of care in the industry, and become the #1 brand in real estate education and achievement. STAR POWER Stars and conference attendees account for a large portion of market-leading agents and thriving business-owners.

Legend has it, more than 20 years ago Howard Brinton came up with the idea for the “Star of the Month Club” in the shower. Interview top-producing agents and distribute the facts about what has made them successful to REALTORS® on CD so they can listen to the important information in their car, office, while exercising, etc.

As Howard put it, “Don’t tell people what to do. Let them hear what top-producing real estate agents do in order to be successful, and then decide what to implement in their own businesses.”

In 2009, Howard Brinton passed the STAR POWER torch to Alex Charfen, CEO of Charfen Institute, and one of the most recognized leaders in real estate.

In continuation of this tradition of excellence, Alex said: “It is my sincere belief that success can be learned and fostered. And it is my experience that those who have achieved success are incredibly open to sharing their experiences with others. Top-producers have a great wealth of knowledge, and STAR POWER is the only organization to facilitate the distribution and overall effectiveness of this wealth.”

Evolving with the ever-changing real estate industry, STAR POWER is stronger than ever. Its leadership and membership have aligned behind the core values and principles established more than 20 years ago.

STAR POWER is … Success Shared™.
