“So, I think I got kind of f—– by Hilton & Hyland. And when I say f—–, today I’m happy but there was a hundred agents at Hilton & Hyland,” he told a friend over drinks. “They did a billion dollars for the first time a year. I was 19.6% of their production and when I went to Rick [Hilton] and I said, ‘I’d really like equity and to be a partner.’ He went back, he talked to Jeff, he got back to me and basically I was told no.”
“I’d never be caught speaking poorly about them because I don’t think poorly about them and I am Rick’s brother-in-law,” he added. “But unfortunately, it got sour because it really affected the family. Kyle more than anybody.”
