A real estate agent missed a $400,000 house sale while on vacation, which pushed them to read Gary Keller's The Millionaire Real Estate Agent and hire an assistant. Building a team meant vacations no longer cost them income.

I got to the place that I knew if I ever wanted to have any. Any amount of freedom or any, you know, I just. I had to build that, you know, I'll never forget the one day, it was like a Friday that we were getting ready to leave to go on vacation the next day. And I had a doctor call me. He was moved from out of state. He said, hey, I'm coming to Athens this weekend, and I'm coming to buy a house. I will have a house under contract before I leave. And we were going on vacation, you know, and he's buying a, you know, I don't know, a $400,000 house or something. And so I remember telling my wife, you know, it's not. And I ended up referring it out, so I got a little piece of it, but it's not what it could have been had I been in town or had I had a team at that time. And so I remember telling my wife, it's not the cost of this vacation or the cost of this condo at the beach that we're leasing. The cost is the revenue that I'm not making because I'm gone, you know. And I just remember from that, that was kind of a pivotal point for me when I said, you know, I have got to build a business and have something that when I go on vacation, I'm not losing money for going on vacation. And so from that point on, I started trying to. I read the Mean Real Estate Agent by Gary Keller, and that kind of opened my eyes to what can be done. And then from that day on, I said, all right, well, I'm going to hire an assistant, and I'm going to start building a team. And so that's what we did.
