Welcome to The Hard Truth: Where We're More Real Than Your Unfiltered Instagram Feed

Let's get something straight - if you're looking for someone to tell you that real estate is your ticket to becoming a TikTok house-flipping sensation or the next HGTV star, you've clicked on the wrong link.?

I've spent 20+ years in the trenches of real estate - from flipping houses back when MySpace was still the social media king, to building a $30M sales team while everyone’s trying to convince you that AI is the only real estate agent you'll ever need.

Here's what I've learned: Real estate isn't a one-size-fits-all game.?

What works for me - the guy who has gone from investor to national speaker on short sales, to broker-owner with a portfolio spanning long-term rentals to flips - might send you running faster than censorship-loving executives fled Twitter when free speech made a comeback (though some of us were celebrating with virtual popcorn watching that whole show).

Look, I've been blessed to see pretty much every angle of this industry.?

I've done the speaking gigs (minus the "like and subscribe" begging), built a successful brokerage (turns out you can do it without becoming a viral sensation), and yes, I've made plenty of mistakes along the way (some of which cost more than a Tesla Cybertruck deposit).

What you'll get here:

• Actionable steps for buyers?
• Real strategies for sellers?
• Straight talk about getting into the real estate business?
• Investment strategies for different risk tolerances?
• The good, the bad, and the "who thought this was a good idea?" of real estate

For Buyers:

• How to actually get your offer accepted (without having to make a tearjerker TikTok about your house hunting journey)
• Understanding what you can really afford?
• Navigating the inspection process like a pro

For Sellers:

• Pricing strategies that work in any market (no cryptocurrency accepted)
• How to prepare your home without going full home influencer
• Understanding what buyers actually care about?
• For Future Agents & Investors

• The real scoop on what it takes to succeed in real estate?
• How to build a sustainable business?
• Investment strategies that match your risk tolerance

Here's my promise to you:?

I'll share everything I've learned from two decades in the business - the victories, the failures, and all the messy stuff in between. Not because I have all the answers (I don't), but because I believe when people have good information, they make good decisions. And yes, that belief is as timeless as Nokia's 3310.

So whether you're looking to buy your first home, build a rental empire, or just trying to figure out if your agent's "hot market" , you're in the right place.

Welcome to The Hard Truth.?
