Real Estate Business Builders
612 episodes - English - Latest episode: 3 months ago - ★★★★★ - 19 ratingsWelcome to Real Estate Business Builders! Bottom line… the real estate industry has failed to create a clear path to financial freedom.
Traditional brokerages and coaching are designed to keep you running on the “transaction treadmill” with no exit strategy.
While I didn’t have any sales, marketing or business building experience when I got into real estate, I was willing to bet on myself and figure it out because my family was depending on me.
Having served over 5,000 families with their real estate needs… I have made every mistake in business you can possibly make. And I’ve helped 100s of agents and team leaders realize their goal of true time and money freedom and living a life without regrets.
If you know there is another level of growth inside of you, and you want to learn how to build a highly lucrative lifestyle business, then you’re in the right place. You won’t find any smoke and mirrors or hype here on this show … just real world tools, systems, and strategies that work.
Let’s do the work!
