Real Estate with Aprile Osborne
Aprile joins the Gulf Coast News studio to discuss the real estate market and what buyers and sellers need to know right now.
Who Is Aprile Osborne
The Broker Who Built a National Platform on Her Own Terms
Aprile Osborne is one of the most accomplished real estate professionals in the country and the co-founder of Call It Closed International Realty, a rapidly growing national brokerage built by brokers, for brokers. Aprile began her real estate career in Florida in 2002, and within two years had topped $100 million in sales volume. She went on to break records for most new homes sold in a week, a month, six months, and a full year, selling more than 300 homes in 2004 alone and ranking number one for new-construction sales in the state of Florida. As a Realtor specializing in high-end properties, she built her reputation on global connections, a tech-savvy and data-driven approach, and concierge-level service for buyers and sellers in the Naples luxury market.
That on-the-ground experience became the foundation for something much larger. Alongside her husband and co-founder Chad Osborne, Aprile built Call It Closed International Realty into what the company describes as the first and only national, cloud-based, 100% commission brokerage with a multi-tiered revenue sharing platform, offering services to buyers, sellers, investors, developers, and existing brokerages. The model was built with agents in mind first: no franchise fees, no commission splits handed up to a large corporate entity, and a fully remote working environment backed by industry-leading tools and training.
Together, the Osbornes bring nearly 40 years of combined real estate experience and have overseen nearly 4,000 transaction sides. Since its founding in 2019, Call It Closed has expanded to 25 states and 4 countries, and continues to grow aggressively, with a long-term goal of taking the company public. Beyond the brokerage, Aprile recently authored \"Market Shift,\" a guide covering the forces reshaping real estate today, and launched a national book tour in 2025 to bring those insights directly to agents, investors, and homeowners across the country.

Four focused conversations Aprile brings to your show, each one a standalone episode your audience will find immediately practical and relevant.
How She Sold 300 Homes in a Single Year: The Exact System Behind Florida's #1 New Construction Agent
THE MECHANICS BEHIND RECORD-BREAKING PRODUCTION VOLUME
Most agents have a great year when they close 30 homes. Aprile Osborne closed 300 in a single year, breaking records for the most new homes sold in a week, a month, six months, and a full year in Florida. Your audience doesn't need another mindset episode. They need to know exactly how she did it. In this conversation, Aprile pulls back the curtain on the actual mechanics behind that volume: how she structured her days, how she built and managed a pipeline at that scale, how she kept buyers moving through the process without things falling apart, and where most agents are quietly leaving deals on the table without realizing it.
Audience takeaway: A real blueprint for building a production machine, not just motivation.
Why the 100% Commission Model Was Inevitable (And What It Means for Your Agents' Future)
THE SHIFT TRADITIONAL BROKERAGES DIDN'T SEE COMING
Your audience works hard for every commission they earn. So why are so many of them still handing a significant cut to a corporate brokerage that isn't in the trenches with them? Aprile Osborne saw the shift coming years ago and co-founded Call It Closed International Realty on a simple premise: agents keep what they earn. In this conversation, she breaks down why the traditional split model was always working against agents, what a 100% commission structure actually looks like in practice, how revenue sharing changes the entire incentive dynamic, and the questions your listeners should be asking their current brokerage right now.
Audience takeaway: A framework for thinking differently about where to hang your license.
Building a Brokerage Without Walls: How Call It Closed Reached 25 States and 4 Countries With No Physical Office
THE CLOUD-FIRST MODEL REWRITING BROKERAGE GROWTH
Most brokerages grow by adding locations. Aprile Osborne and her co-founder Chad Osborne grew theirs by eliminating them entirely. Since launching Call It Closed International Realty in 2019, they have expanded to 25 states and 4 countries, without a single physical headquarters anchoring the model. In this conversation, Aprile walks through the real decisions behind that growth: how they onboard and train agents remotely, how they build culture without shared physical space, what technology infrastructure makes it all possible, and why she believes the traditional office-based brokerage is solving a problem that no longer exists.
Audience takeaway: A reframe of what a modern brokerage can and should be.
Market Shift: What the Forces Reshaping Real Estate Right Now Mean for Your Buyers, Sellers, and Investors
THE PRACTICAL FRAMEWORK BEHIND THE BOOK AND NATIONAL TOUR
Everyone in real estate is talking about market conditions. Very few people are actually explaining what is driving them or what to do about it. Aprile Osborne wrote her book "Market Shift" and launched a national book tour in 2025 to bring those answers directly to agents, investors, and homeowners across the country. In this conversation, she brings those same insights to your audience: the structural forces reshaping real estate right now, what buyers consistently get wrong in this environment, what sellers need to stop assuming, and where investors are finding real opportunity most people are overlooking. This is not a forecast. It is a practical framework your listeners can apply immediately.
Audience takeaway: A practical framework for a market that has fundamentally changed.
