Ep. 44 - You Can’t Make This Up: Real Stories From the Trenches of Luxury Real Estate

In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain and sharing real, unscripted stories from behind the scenes of building a luxury real estate business — the kind of moments you can’t plan, fake, or learn from a textbook. From buyers who “came back to life,” fake proof of funds, and missed $10M opportunities, to $7M espresso meetings, license plates that turned into deals, and dolphins showing up on cue — this is real business, real pressure, and real lessons.These stories are funny, shocking, strategic, and honest — but more importantly, they’re packed with warnings, insights, and reminders about preparation, trust, instincts, and execution. Whether you’re doing $5M a year or $500M a year, you’ll recognize these moments — and learn how to handle them when they happen to you.No scripts. No filters. Just authentic storytelling from the trenches of luxury real estate, and the mindset it takes to win consistently at the highest level. Press play, laugh a little, learn a lot, and take something you can apply immediately to your business.
