The Boardroom Mastermind review: a highly rated peer group for established operators, at a premium
Founded by Kent Clothier in 2012, The Boardroom Mastermind gathers established real estate entrepreneurs for in-person sessions and peer advice. Members rate it highly. We looked at the cost, who it suits, and how its own marketing ranks it.
Strong member satisfaction across hundreds of reviews and a long operating history make this one of the better-regarded masterminds. But membership costs about $30,000 a year, the price isn’t published on the main site, and the ‘best masterminds’ list ranking it first is published by its own founder.
What it is
The Boardroom Mastermind is a peer group for established real estate entrepreneurs, run by Kent Clothier, CEO and founder of Real Estate Worldwide (REWW), which says it has educated more than 60,000 students. Members include wholesalers, flippers, multifamily and commercial investors, brokerages, developers, lenders and self-storage operators. The group meets in person several times a year, with breakout and track sessions, plus networking trips.
Cost and access
Membership is by application. A comparison of masterminds published on Clothier’s own website puts the cost at approximately $30,000 a year, and says the group received over 2,200 applications in 2024 and accepted 97 new members. The main Boardroom site does not publish pricing, and directs prospective members to apply.
