    Today's episode, titled "Home Dream," is all about turning your passion into reality. We have two special guests joining us, Jesus & Jaslene Chavez, who have created a platform called Home Dream to show people that they can afford real estate, even if they come from backgrounds that may not have given them a head start in the industry. Jaslene shares their journey of breaking into the real estate world, their commitment to giving back to the community, and how they prioritize authentic connections with clients. Plus, we'll explore the importance of staying true to oneself and finding fulfillment beyond external markers of success.    Jesus Chavez is a dedicated firefighter and real estate enthusiast. He feels fortunate and blessed to be able to pursue both of his passions. While at the fire department, Chavez remains fully focused on his duties, ensuring that he doesn't mix his two roles. For two days, he immerses himself in fire department work, diligently fulfilling his responsibilities as a supervisor and actively participating in emergency responses and training sessions. On the other hand, during his four days off, which spans a total of 96 hours, Chavez devotes his time to his real estate ventures. Whether it's flipping houses, managing rental properties, or assisting others in achieving their homeownership dreams, he utilizes this extended period to excel in the real estate industry. Chavez takes pride in his ability to balance his profession as a firefighter with his entrepreneurial pursuits, allowing him to make a positive impact in both realms.   Jaslene Chavez is a hardworking and determined individual who knows how to juggle multiple responsibilities. Even though her days are packed, she always manages to find time to accomplish everything she sets out to do. Jaslene is a devoted mother who puts her children's needs first. She wakes up early at 5:30 in the morning to work, ensuring that she can effectively manage her day. After getting her kids ready for school, Jaslene spends the day working from home.

    On this episode of Real Moves, our hosts Geoffrey Luna and Jonathan Gonzalez are joined by two esteemed guests, Michael Simpson and Cedric Farrell. Michael and Cedric both have extensive experience in the real estate industry, each taking a unique path to their current positions. Michael, who experienced the impact of the 2009 economic downturn, found himself working in waste management for several years before being let go. This prompted him to reflect on his career and take control of his own destiny. He considered various options, including financial planning and recruiting, before ultimately finding his passion in commercial real estate. On the other hand, Cedric sought mentorship from Paul Cott, a prominent figure in the real estate industry. Under Paul's guidance, Cedric quickly got his first listing within just a few weeks. Both Michael and Cedric believe in the importance of continuous learning and investing in oneself in the highly competitive world of commercial real estate. Their intersection lies in their dedication to honing their skills, using effective scripts and tactics for phone calls, and constantly staying informed about the market trends. Together, they share invaluable insights into the dos and don'ts of commercial real estate that every listener can benefit from.   @thencrea https://instagram.com/thencrea?igshid=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==   _____   Welcome to The Real Moves Podcast, a podcast dedicated to sharing insights and experiences with entrepreneurs, innovators, and executors who are making real moves in the world.   Join us as we feature interviews with successful business owners, thought leaders, and experts who share their stories, tips, and strategies for achieving success in the world of business.   Whether you're looking to start your own business, grow your existing enterprise, or just looking for inspiration and motivation, our podcast has something for everyone.
