REAL REAL ESTATE “Before finding Chris, I felt so inundated with resources that I didn’t know where to start. While I’d been in investment and commercial real estate, buying and selling on terms is its own niche, so I spent a year taking courses, watching webinars, and going to lectures. I spent thousands of dollars. It was like trying to take a sip of water from a fire hose. It wasn’t until I started working with Chris and his team that I felt like I could breathe again! Over time, I’ve found that I can be my own worst enemy because I often have a hard time looking at the big picture. Chris has helped me get out of the way of my own successes and taught me the value of outsourcing so I can put my focus where it needs to be. “One of the aspects that I love most is Chris’ overarching adherence to the principles he teaches, one of them being ACAA: take Action, then Critique, then Adjust, then take Action again. It’s a simple method based on making small adjustments, but it’s been overwhelmingly helpful for me and several other Associates I’ve mentored. My biggest hope as a new coach is to let future Associates learn from the mistakes I made and point them in the right direction for their own successes. “My suggestion to anyone who comes across Smart Real Estate Coach and doesn’t feel ready to take advantage of the information and tools being offered is to let go of the fear and just do it! If you want to succeed in this business, I honestly can’t think of a better way than what they’ve created.” RNER YOU HAVE QUESTIONS. WE HAVE ANSWERS.

decisions they made to get where they are today. But you might be surprised to find out that prior to hosting my own show, podcasting was a bit of a foreign concept to me — I knew how it worked, but I didn’t know how big of an impact it would have on both my credibility and my ROI. Having your own show can grow your reputation as an expert in this space. Through every single episode, you’re able to position yourself to boost credibility, add a personal touch, and differentiate yourself from others in the investment arena.
