It’s a fact that the real estate industry has one of the highest failure rates for new starting members of any industry on the planet. It’s an industry filled with starters coming into the business wanting to “practice” on you without a very good depth of experience. Locally, 92% of agents close fewer than one transactions a month.

Statistics show that 80% of the agents that get into real estate do not see their 5th year in the business. I don’t have hard data on this, but it is my belief that real estate has one of the highest failure rates of any industry.

​

Additionally of those practicing, a full 92% of the agents supposedly “in business” do not even transact one home sale per month. Imagine hiring any professional for something incredibly important to find out that they just do not get too many “at bats” with which to practice their craft? You would rightly lack confidence in this person.

What do you enjoy doing when not working? I love making memories with my family whether at the local theme parks or traveling Florida or to parts unknown. I really enjoy serving Jesus through my local church, The Grove Bible Chapel. I love getting my butt kicked with friends at Crossfit Winter Garden; Lee Lovette is the emcee of the pain and brings a great team of coaches and community there!  I am a disciplined reader on the daily and do enjoy it.  I love doing puzzles over the holidays with family! Settlers of Catan with friends or family. I used to enjoy golf but with a household of seven, I decided to stop playing so much about six years ago. Lack of play took my so-so golf ability to flat out mediocre, which makes the game unbearable to play even on a casual basis! It’s clearly NOT like riding a bike. One day, I will call a golf pro, get my swing tweaked and get back to it, but I’m not there yet.

​

Where would you live if not for Florida? I’m a big fan of Tennessee and St. Maarten. Runners up would be somewhere in Utah or Southern Cal.

​

What is your favorite car? I don’t have one. I am not a car person. I am so fixated on how fast they depreciate that I don’t get hung up on them! Sorry car fans. Lol. Even for very nice car purchases, I make a policy to buy used within he last 2 years and lowest miles, depreciated as far down as possible.

​

Last meal: Lasagne or Margherita Pizza!

 

Sweet Tooth: A great Apple Fritter!

Life Changing Books: Rich Dad Poor Dad blew my mind in my early 20s and likely started me onto a life of entrepreneurship. 10X by Grant Cardone was a read a few times back in 2012 or whenever I found it, “Can’t Hurt Me, by David Goggins”.   Last and which really comes first in my reading schedule: the Bible: Proverbs, James, 1 and 2 Peter, Anything written by Paul, and of course Acts and the Gospels.. I have many more books to recommend but these are the standouts.
