About author
I began selling real estate as an agent in 2008 after graduating high school. Since then, I have done over $120,000,000 in sales and continue to increase my sales volume year after year – in 2017, I sold just about $22,000,000 in Real Estate, almost exclusively from word-of-mouth and repeat business. I came from zero family connections, no one worked in real estate, I had no idea what I was doing, but I dove in headfirst after not getting into college due to poor grades. It turned out to be one of the most enjoyable careers I could’ve ever imagined and after selling my first home of $3,500,000 from a client I met at an open house, I was hooked. Since then, I’ve continued building up my business and using that income to buy and renovate properties that I then rent out. As of now, I own 6 rental properties that I manage in my spare time, as well as run a YouTube Channel where I share my thoughts on real estate, motivation, building wealth, and anything else that seems interesting at the time!
