Matt Lionetti is a real estate powerhouse! Not only has he paved his own path, but he did it up against some tough odds. From getting kicked out of high school, to almost getting out of the business entirely, Matt has impressively been able to keep believing in himself through creativity and sheer will. He believes that the residential real estate brokerage model is changing, and fast. He also believes that if your client doesn't like you, they ultimately won't work with you. Dive head first into this B&R gem as Sean & Tim dig deep with Matt on how he became the success story he is today, and how that can help motivate you (our listeners and watchers) as you grow in business!

In the residential real estate industry specifically, the "measure of success" tends to be the amount of volume you close. Year-in / year-out, as well as your career as a whole. But, volume alone will never fully reflect how well you did financially; it varies per deal. Sometimes you make 80% margin, and sometimes you make 25% margin. So how can I get my margin up you may ask? Dig into this B&R financial banger with Sean & Tim, as they educate their community on the differences between the two!
