Welcome to the garage. What is the garage? Well, let's talk about what it's not. It's not a sales meeting. It's not a sales organization. It's actually a place where agents can come together, solo agents, and be collaborative and learn some different things about the real estate business that they may or may not know. But most importantly, it's building better relationships internally with people in order to help them collaborate, earn more, and have a better personal life along the way. Where did the garage come from and why do we call the garage? Well, part of that is looking at the tattoo on my left arm sleeve, which really explains the vision and where the garage came to life. And it was actually from my past. And when I realized, like, I love cars so much and I went to a house and I rehabbed in a garage, to be honest with you. I mean, that's where I did all my gym and all my hard workouts. But if you think about a garage for cars, it's the one place you can get your car painted, you can get it tuned up, you can get it souped up, you can trade it in, you can do all these things and you can see all the options that are at the dealership. Right. What if there's a garage for human beings, specifically for real estate agents? So the garage is specifically for real estate agents. This is where you're coming in to improve your personal life and better your business life as well. And see, what I believe and what I've learned through my experiences over the last several years is that your foundation is the key to your real estate success or your success anywhere in life. Success can't be the only thing that you're driving towards in life. And I've seen too much of it in this business. I've been part of it from the standpoint of everything's driven on success and who you run over in the process, rather than how can I have success, have a quality of life, a quality of business that is driving you towards where you want to go in an environment that is bananas when it comes down to it. It just. The environment that we've created is energetic and. And it's fun, and it's different than you've ever experienced inside a real estate community because it's not sales. Who sold the most houses, who's winning? I want to know where your head and your heart are right? And so if your head and your heart are connected, your business will be successful, your family will be successful, and hopefully you don't have to take on any of the dumb mistakes that I've made in my past in the real estate business, which I wish somebody would have helped me really understand the foundational principles of being successful as a person. Because if you can put the business man or woman at the forefront of your life, that will equate to the business plan. Because if this is broken, this will inevitably be broken down the road at some point in time. And I can share that because I've done it. This vision came into fruition in April of or 2024. It was a year of pause for me. And what I realized was I wanted to coach and teach and support agents without the piece in the middle, which is money. And so how do we do that? Well, if you're looking for a new brokerage, a new environment, at real Brokerage, I sponsor several agents. And this is the way that I sponsor and give back to that community where I help them be all that they want to be. And define your definition of success. And I believe in this business, you can be a mom, a business owner, and have your definition success. Maybe that's selling a couple of houses, maybe you want to just be a referral partner, but you still want to be around the community and the collaboration and see what's possible. And see what I believe and why this was created is that there's not enough people showing you what's truly possible with a real estate license. And what most of you know is that you're either representing a buyer or seller, and that's it. That's the only way you create income. What if I could show you 11 to 100 other ways to make income? Some of them doesn't even require selling real estate. We have several members in the garage that are not selling real estate, but they're using other businesses that you're doing to create referrals and feed the community. The best part about all of this is that you don't have to be on a team to have a team. And that's what I created. It is a collaborative network and people that you can claim you have a team of real estate agents. Why is that important? You see, on Fridays when I teach and right now I look at, you know, 30 to 50 faces on an average on a Friday, I have 50 personalities to choose from when I need to refer a client. And it's all over the state. And see what's happening is, is people are seeing other opportunities, other ways to collaborate with each other, other ways to partner with it. And the best part is if you have any interest in investing or what that life looks like in that part of the business. This is a lot of what we do. If you don't know me, that's what I specialize in. We have flipped more than a thousand homes in the last decade. We own about 120 rental properties currently and we're doing all kinds of different projects and moving in other directions. So I want to invite you into the garage. Now, the garage is not for everybody and there's no obligation. So if you're looking for a brokerage and you want that support and you're looking at cloud based brokerages and you're looking at different people, I've talked to you. My question to you would be what? Who and how are they going to support me in my future growth? And that's one thing I don't think a lot of people think about when they change. Brokerage is where am I going? And by the way, I don't need you to be on my team. I need you to have your head and your heart connected. And I need you to be open to receive all that there is to offer in this business by being around great people. So I would love to talk to you about your environment, where you want to go, and your definition, success. So if the garage sounds like a great place that you want to hang out, collaborate and you're looking for that, let me know how I can help you. Let's get together somewhere down here, below is a form to fill out. Let's connect and let's see what we can do together. When collaboration becomes the precipice of your business, it will expand your horizons and your business and your opportunities. And the most important part, you're in a place of vulnerability where you can be a human being and nobody's going to chastise you, judge you, any of those things. Because it's all about how we help each other get to the next place. And sometimes that's personal and sometimes that business and the garage is being built on relationships. So I hope to have a relationship with you in the near future.
