-
- Entrepreneurship
This first episode tells you a little bit about us - while we're both now successful realtors in Toledo & Northwest Ohio, Columbus Ohio, & Southeast Michigan (and brokers, which we forgot to mention at the beginning) we didn't start that way! Well, Ivan did. Chelsea only sold 2 houses.
We discuss how we got into real estate - like many, it was not our first career! We discuss what happened when the recession hit, How we did our first years in the real estate business, touch on work / life balance and more. There's some good tips scattered throughout - we can't have a conversation without them.
Hear what's it's like to start in the real estate business from actual agents who are still selling houses.
