meet Michael & Stacy Spickes
Michael and Stacy Spickes aren’t just real estate industry leaders—they’re Agents, just like you. With over two decades of experience, they bring unparalleled expertise, passion, and innovation to their clients and fellow Agents. As the founders of GrowthSuite+, their mission is to empower real estate professionals to thrive with cutting-edge solutions.
Their journey is rooted in real-world experience and innovation. Inspired by Salesforce, the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS), and Larry Kendall’s Ninja Selling, Michael and Stacy have combined their backgrounds—Michael’s in technology and Stacy’s in business and finance—to create tools and strategies tailored for Agents. From 2006 to 2011, they pioneered one of the nation’s leading short sale training companies, training over 45,000 Agents nationwide and redefining how Agents navigate challenges.
Since 2010, Michael and Stacy have ranked in the top 2% of sales in the competitive Austin, Texas market, consistently demonstrating their expertise as top producers at Realty Austin. Their experience during the foreclosure crisis and their innovative platforms like TourZazz and GrowthSuite+ reflect their unwavering dedication to helping Agents succeed. With a deep understanding of what it takes to excel in real estate, Michael and Stacy continue to inspire and equip Agents with the tools needed to build sustainable, thriving businesses.
Our journey in real estate began in 2002, and for many years, we proudly held the title of top producers at our previous company. From the outside, it seemed like we were thriving—consistent transactions, awards, and accolades. However, as time went on, the relentless grind began to take its toll, leading us to a profound realization: while the monetary gains were nice, they didn't bring the fulfillment we craved.
We cherished the friendships we built with other Agents and especially our clients, who hired us for who we are, not the brokerage we represented. This insight sparked a new curiosity in us. We dared to ask ourselves: Is there another way to view this business? Are we genuinely happy in this cycle of constant hustle? Is there more to our work than just the grind?
The decision to move was not easy, but by asking the right questions and facing our fears head-on, we found clarity. Now, with GrowthSuite+ and the power of the eXp Realty business model behind us, we can not only have so much of what we had, we’re also building the future we always envisioned—one that offers flexibility, financial security, and true freedom.
Our focus was narrow
After decades of success in real estate, we faced a pivotal decision—whether to continue on the same path or take a leap toward something bigger. We asked ourselves difficult questions and grappled with the fear of leaving behind everything we had known. The result? A shift to a future defined by growth, financial freedom, and opportunity. Here's what drove our decision, and the questions that helped us move forward.
What truly matters for our future?
Beyond transactions, we realized that financial diversification and building long-term wealth were more important than just relying on commission checks.
Are we limiting ourselves?
We evaluated whether our current brokerage was supporting our personal and professional growth or simply maintaining the status quo.
Is our brand defined by us or the company we work for?
We reflected on whether our clients chose us for our skills and expertise—or because of the company’s name on our business card.
Are we maximizing our income streams?
We looked at how eXp’s revenue-sharing model, stock opportunities, and personal branding tools could empower us to build passive income and a stronger financial foundation.
What are we afraid of losing, and is it worth holding on to?
We asked ourselves what fears—whether it be losing community, relationships, or a sense of comfort—were preventing us from embracing the new possibilities at eXp Realty.
