CEO & Co-Founder, AXEN Realty
Chase leads the featured panel conversation with Robert Lucido Jr., Jojo Quiroz, Laura Norcross and Michael Cruz.

Founder & Managing Director, Moxie Mortgage
Robert built Moxie Mortgage specifically to help real estate agents give their clients greater value, a better experience and significant savings — not by cutting their hard-earned commission, but by helping buyers save real money where it matters most: the mortgage. The approach scaled Moxie rapidly and ranked Robert the #2 first-year Loan Officer in the country in 2025. Previously Chief Strategy Officer of Lucido Global, where the company closed over $7 billion in sales volume and became the #1 real estate team in the world across all brokerages. Before real estate, Robert played professional baseball with the Toronto Blue Jays and the Texas Rangers.

A former CPA and veteran mortgage and real estate professional with more than 30 years as a dually licensed broker, loan officer and mortgage banker. Jojo is the creator and star of television programs including Housing Wars, The Money Boss and Mortgage Millionaire, launched The KMG Show to more than 2 million viewers worldwide, and is the author of Living Rich: A State of Mind. Today he serves as Chief Growth Officer of AXEN Realty and Broker for Florida, Nevada and California, and leads initiatives with Banking Door.

Broker & Owner, Meridian Real Estate
Laura Norcross is a top-producing real estate broker and owner of Meridian Real Estate, serving the Hernando County area. With more than a decade in real estate and an average of $25–30 million in personal annual sales, Laura has built her business around strategic marketing, strong personal branding, and a listing-first approach. She is also the owner of Locale Title Company and, most importantly, a proud mom of five.

Host · Florida Mortgage Broker, Central Florida Wholesale Mortgage Services
I began my mortgage lending career in September 1998, and for more than 25 years I've had the opportunity to help homebuyers, homeowners, investors, and business owners find the right financing for their needs. Today, I'm a Florida mortgage broker with Central Florida Wholesale Mortgage Services, a branch of NEXA Lending. With access to more than 300 lenders, I'm able to shop for competitive rates, terms, and loan programs while giving my clients the personal service and communication they deserve. After all these years, I still enjoy finding solutions, especially on loans that may not fit neatly into the box. My goal is simple: make the mortgage process easier, communicate clearly, and help my clients and agent partners get to the closing table.
