Episode 109: Real Estate Agents: Here’s Why You Should be in the “Luxury” Market 11/25/2024

Episode 109: Real Estate Agents: Here’s Why You Should be in the “Luxury” Market The majority of real estate agents don’t sell multimillion dollar ‘luxury’ properties. Many certainly want to, but most never get the opportunity. For a host of reasons, including a longer sales cycle, competition with new construction, and the perception of having to deal with a more sophisticated clientele. But the main reason, according to Harif Hazera, has more to do with psychology, mindset, and limiting beliefs such as… I’m not educated or sophisticated enough to deal with that crowd… I’m not worthy… Who am I to think I can sell multimillion dollar properties! In this riveting episode, Harif makes a compelling case for becoming a luxury specialist, and how to break through any mental barriers that may be holding you back. Here’s a sample of what we discuss: · The #1 thing that enabled Harif to start selling multimillion dollar properties. · Why most real estate agents fail. · What sellers are looking for most in a real estate agent (this will surprise you!) · How to overcome the crippling limiting belief “I’m not worthy”. · The biggest difference between selling a luxury listing… and a traditional listing. · Don’t position yourself as a real estate “agent”. Do this instead to stand out from the crowd… · How to transition from agent to investor… · The key to start “attracting” money to fund your deals. · What real estate agents REALLY sell… · Why you must become an “owner” if you want to build true wealth. · The smartest and most strategic people in the world point to this skill as the #1 key to their success (it’s not what you think!). · 4 steps to selling anything… · How to raise $25M… before you even have a deal! · Proof that your network equals your net worth. · Much, much more!! More about Harif Hazera: Harif Hazera is one of Central Florida’s most trusted and top-selling luxury real estate advisors.

Episode 105: The Advantages of Starting a Business During the Great Recession – with Drew Homola Remember when Lehman Brothers failed? It marked the climax of the subprime mortgage crisis and prolonged ‘The Great Recession’, which was the steepest economic decline in the U.S. since the Great Depression back in the 1930’s. It led to credit freezing, foreclosures skyrocketing, and left the overall market pretty bitter and sour on real estate. The date was September 15, 2008.

Here’s a sample of what we discuss:  The advantages of starting a business during a downturn.  His biggest money management mistake… and what he’s doing instead  A little-known, almost accidental real estate investing strategy that made him $70k … in just a few short months!  The pros and cons of having a license as a real estate investor/builder.  Tips on how to vet and find a reliable and trustworthy contactor (from a contractor!).  Practical insights on how to implement effective cash flow management and controls.  The biggest challenges in ground-up construction (and how to mitigate them).  Much, much more!! More about Drew Homola: Drew Homola started as a home builder and general contractor during the depths of the Great Recession. Through the years he had built houses for other people, but soon realized he needed to start owning real estate in order to attain true financial security. And that’s exactly what he’s done! He currently owns First Choice Builders, First Choice Real Estate, and First Choice Capital. His primary focus these days is acquiring and developing assets through First Choice Capital, as he’s been able to create systems and recruit great employees who run the day-to-day operations of First Choice Builders and First Choice Real Estate.

Episode 082: How to Get Deals Done… Even During Turbulent Times (A Lender’s Perspective) – with Jennifer Santoso 04/03/2023

Episode 081: These Skills Pay the Bills – with Matthew Guerra 03/27/2023

Episode 081: These Skills Pay the Bills – with Matthew Guerra Matthew Guerra is not your typical real estate agent… It really wasn’t his dream career, nor did he become one so he could make big fat commissions (although he often does!). Instead, he got his real estate license because he wanted to level up his skills… and learn the game of apartment investing. His focus on skill-building, and a willingness to do things that many others tend to shy away from, has certainly been a major key to his success! As a result, he’s proficient at acquisitions and closing the deal, underwriting & analysis, raising capital, and putting together a syndication (aka Group Investment). All are major skills that pay the bills (and he’s really just getting started!). Here’s a sample of what we discuss: · It’s not very sexy, but it’s one of the most valuable skill-builders you can employ (and everyone can do it!). · The secret of the Bamboo tree. · How any real estate agent or broker can start building a portfolio – even if you don’t have a giant nest egg to start with. · How Matthew used creative financing to buy a $1.5M student housing project – with very little money out-of-pocket (it’s now worth $2.3M!). · Much, much more! More about Matthew Guerra: Matthew began in the real estate industry in 2013 and quickly became immersed, sourcing multiple investment opportunities and growing a strong track record before entering the commercial real estate sector in 2016. He’s personally sold nearly $50Million of income producing real estate, and has helped many clients in re-positioning multifamily assets for wealth generation and maximizing retirement income. He earned the Rookie of the Year award with GIG in 2016, and quickly became recognized as a top producing agent. He founded Principle Quality Investments in 2021, which specializes in procuring off-market, value-add properties for its partners and investors.
