On this episode of Building Dallas, presented by Arrington Roofing, hosts Reese Arrington and Chris Arrington sit down with Jerry Mooty, CEO and principal broker of @properties Lone Star | Christie’s International Real Estate, to talk about what it really takes to build a winning culture in Dallas real estate. From Springfield, Missouri to SMU football, from co-founding McCathern | Mooty to scaling Blue Star Sports with the Dallas Cowboys organization, Jerry’s journey is a masterclass in risk, reinvention, and resilience. Jerry shares how “culture eats strategy for lunch,” why he hires for mindset before production, and how his team has grown from just a handful of agents to nearly 300 across DFW and Austin. He opens up about the pressures of big-family expectations, recovering from financial hardship, and building a brokerage where agents “eat what they kill” but still feel truly supported.You’ll also hear how technology and AI in real estate are changing the game, why North Texas remains a magnet for high-net-worth buyers, and where Jerry sees the biggest opportunities in Dallas, Fort Worth, Southlake and Austin over the next few years. And because this is Building Dallas, we connect it all back to the homes themselves—from luxury listings to the Dallas roofers and Roofing Dallas experts who protect those investments from hail, wind, and Texas storm season.Whether you’re an entrepreneur, agent, or homeowner, this conversation will give you a clearer picture of how Christie’s International Real Estate, @properties Lone Star, and Arrington Roofing are all playing a role in building a stronger, smarter North Texas.
