JF2393: How To Turn 6 Months Of No Business Into A Winning Streak With Anthony Mann Mar 22, 2021

Show notes

Anthony got started in real estate straight out of school. His parents were in business for over 40 years, so it was a natural progression.

Anthony got his license in June 2007. First several months of his career were great. But once the market crashed, he didn’t have a single listing for 6 months. He took that time to build relationships and rapport with people who could help him with his work. The first property he sold gave him a chance to look at the investor side of the real estate world, and Anthony was hooked.
