Testimonial by Justin Udy describing how mentorship from Lars and participation in Real Estate B‑School helped him systematize his real estate business, free up time for family, and train others. He highlights that a simple tool (an intake form delegated to an executive assistant) produced outsized time savings, and values networking with other agents facing similar challenges.
I was doing great production, working really hard, making good money. But my biggest challenge was, is I just wasn't spending the time with my family, and I wasn't doing what I felt like I needed to do in order to progress and still meet that side of my. What I was looking to do when I ended up meeting Lars, it allowed me the ability to really look at things, maybe in a different way, so that I could not only leverage some of the things that we're doing so I could meet my family's needs, but at the same time, take care of, you know, the buyers and sellers that I had in the way that I wanted to and help train others to be able to help me. It's hard work, and it's been obviously a struggle. He doesn't make it easy on you at all. But I will tell you that it's allowed me to take the additional time and effort to really invest into things that allow me to grow, progress, and allow me to build something that's kind of beyond myself so that I can leverage that. And I also intern, not recently, but it's still growing there. Right? It has allowed me a little bit more time that I did want with my family. You know, it's funny, because my. The tool that I wanted and that I needed the most was the most simplest that he has, which is, you know, just a simple intake form. You know, from me picking up the phone and talking to every single client to having my executive assistant just take that information and be able to. I know it's like the simplest thing, but that allowed me the hours of time that I needed to, you know, implement this and this and this and this. And so that was kind of the forefront thing. And so I wish I would have implemented that before anything, really. What I've really enjoyed is being able to network with a lot of other agents that are kind of in the same mess that you're in. And it's nice to know, like, you're not the only person that's struggling with every single piece of the puzzle. You know, I think everybody wants the perfect puzzle, and everybody knows they're missing puzzle pieces. So that's been really nice for me to be able to come to these and not only obviously learn and get some amazing information and nuggets that you can take back to your market, but really being able to connect with people that are trying to just kind of do something similar that you are.
