#11 Questions to Ask Before Starting a Real Estate Brokerage
Om denne podkasten
Alan spent years building a business from nothing. Then 2008 hit.
The financial crisis wiped out over 80% of his revenue in six months. He let go of 30+ people. Watched vehicles get repossessed. Fielded daily calls from angry creditors. His wife was six months pregnant. They lost all of their investments. They lost their home.
Rock bottom. $500K in debt.
Most people don't come back from that. Alan did.
He made a decision to pivot and chose real estate. Not because it was easy, but because he refused to let that be the end of his story.
He rebuilt from zero:
• Zero deals his first 6 monthsTo 70+ transactions as a solo agent
• To founding the Alan K Group and leading a team of 15+ agents closing over 1,074 units and $382M in sales volume in just two years
• To growing his brokerage to 200+ agents, Best Homes Real Estate in 2020
The results speak for themselves:
4,000+ Homes Sold, 600+ Agents Trained, $1.5B+ In Volume and 200+ Brokerages Impacted.
If Alan could rebuild from $500K in debt and zero deals imagine what's possible when you have the right system and someone in your corner from day one.
