GRIT: The Real Estate Growth Mindset
Business
Selling real estate is like an extremely strong contact sport. You need to go out there, talk to people, establish rapport, and build relationships with your contacts. And the more contacts you make, the better chance you have for a successful business.
For Gaurav Gambhir, making it in real estate proved to be more challenging. He was an immigrant who didn’t know many people at that time and English was his second language so he didn’t feel confident speaking in front of crowds.
Yet, he found a way to grow his clientele by managing people’s assets. He figured that if he can maintain a relationship with them, then he will be the top choice to get the opportunity once they decide to sell or rent their property.

About the guest:
Gaurav Gambhir comes from a family of entrepreneurs. He’s been doing support businesses on the side since he was 15 years old. So when he started working as an IT professional for a real estate company, he decided to try real estate during weekends to earn some extra money.
In 2007, he took a leap of faith, went into real estate full-time, and joined Keller-Williams as his first brokerage company. Eventually, he and a friend decided to start a new brokerage company and a property management division along with it. They were able to grow the company towards 70 agents in about 18 months.
Two years later, Gaurav had the opportunity to buy a company called the Condo Shop in Philadelphia. He then built TCS Group which services real estate investments, renovations, and property management.
Today. Gaurav is a partner and Operating Principle of Keller Williams Philadelphia. In total, he oversees 600+ agents and employees. His team is currently the ninth-largest Keller Williams team in the country.
