I personally have sold over 300 homes by the time I turned 30 in September 2017 and now close to 500 homes. I operate nearly 100% by referral and sell about 85 homes per year. I was 22 years old when I first got into real estate and I looked like I was 17. It was 2009 and the market was still going down to it's all time low.In 2009 I asked multiple brokerages along State street If I could join and learn to sell homes. They said No, we are barely in business. I found one Broker who said Yes, We are doing better than ever by cold calling, door knocking from 8-12 everyday then meeting with our potential sellers we found on the phones from 6-10pm every night. My Broker/Trainer would say that a full time job is not 40 hours a week. If you want to make a living in real estate in the recession you must work no less than 60 hours a week starting at 7am with role playing, sharpening your communication skills, then dialing on 2 headsets to find people who are going to sell their homes.I one time dialed into a family who had dual citizenship with America and Canada. They financially were ruined in America and planned to go back to Canada. They literally signed the listing agreement, handed me the keys to their home and left for Canada and put my 22 year old self in charge of short selling their home with the bank. I had never done a short sale at the time and I had only ever listed a mobile home. This was my second listing and it was a beast of a scenario but, I learned and got it done in 30 days which was a miracle because most took 6 months-10months for approval.I got a foundation going and a skill set that most don't get to gain because they haven't started from the ground up in a recession. I was recruited by Re/Max in 2010 and I joined Remax in Orem after a few call where they opened my eyes to new production levels, new goals I didn't think were possible at the lowest point in real estate history.I have since grown into a team that I don't brand or advertise but it's successful. I have 8 other agents I work with on my team and we together now sell about 180-190 homes every year. I appreciate my wife Julianne for taking a gamble on me in my earlier stage of real estate! She puts up with crazy hours and unknown finance waves. We are a good team. I hope I can earn your business and work hard and smart for you. You'll find I'm very transparent in the transaction so you never feel in the dark. Hope to hear form you. Call or text my cell: 801-857-7214
