We talk through Drew’s journey in real estate, the lessons learned from early deals, and what pushed him to start building tools instead of just using them. The conversation naturally moves into software development, what it’s really like to build something new, and where AI actually fits into the future of real estate and business. This isn’t a product pitch or a polished success story. It’s a real conversation about adapting, learning the hard way, and figuring things out in real time. No hype. No scripts. Just conversation. — Interested in being part of a future conversation?

    How to Take Control of a Seller Call in the First 2 Min

    Today we’re kicking off Acquisitions Week with the first step of the Firehouse Sales Method: Calm the Scene. Most investors rush seller calls because they’re nervous or trying to sound smart. When you do that, the seller shuts down and you never get the real story. In this episode, I’ll show you how slowing things down changes the entire tone of the call and gets the seller talking. I’ll walk you through the exact opener I use on almost every conversation, why it works, and how to apply it on your next lead. If you want better conversations and fewer stressful calls, start here. If you want help fixing your seller process, I run two free Q&A calls every week. Bring your deals or whatever you’re stuck on. 👉 Free notes, resources, and breakdowns from each episode: https://wintheclose.com/notes If you’re serious about improving your sales conversations, this is where everything lives — frameworks, examples, and tools we reference on the show.
