GRIT: The Real Estate Growth Mindset
Business
Tyler Smith was 19 when he went into real estate. After selling his first home, he was amazed at how much money there was to make. After eight months, he had sold 15 homes and was already making more money than his friends who had attended college. That’s when he decided to go all-in, double down on his referrals and build his own business.
Being ultra-competitive, Tyler always felt the need to be around better and more prominent people and soak up as much advice as he could from them. And what motivated him the most was proving people wrong - especially those who believed he would fail.
Tyler became hugely successful through a referral-based business. Yet, he found glaring inefficiencies in the administrative side of real estate. Thus, he created Skyslope, his transaction management solution that keeps tabs on real estate transactions to promote a paperless system.
Today, Tyler Smith is the Founder and CEO of Skyslope. His achievements have earned him numerous accolades, including being named one of REALTOR Magazine's Top 30 Under 30 and one of the Wall Street Journal's Top 250 Teams. He is also considered an industry expert and innovator dedicated to helping Realtors, Brokers, and entrepreneurs achieve their goals.
