Speaker 1: Please welcome up money making conversation, Ryan, sir hand, how
Speaker 1: are you? Thanks for having me? So just talk about
Speaker 1: this acting career. Let's let's go to the because really
Speaker 1: I always tell people, I always go back to the
Speaker 1: fact that you know, a skill set that you started
Speaker 1: in is really a blessing now because now you're really
Speaker 1: doing what you You're still doing what you wanted to
Speaker 1: do anyway. You on TV, your face, your personality, So
Speaker 1: you're really still doing your career anyway. But you you
Speaker 1: you're doing it as a different You're actually controlling your career.
Speaker 1: What I say? Is that correct? Yeah? As much as possible.
Speaker 1: I mean I wanted to be an actor. I was
Speaker 1: a little kidad. It was the only thing I was
Speaker 1: ever good at. My parents maybe play every single sports,
Speaker 1: none to man, and I sucked at all of them. Um,
Speaker 1: what was your worst sport? Right? What was your worst sports? Now?
Speaker 1: You know you said you want he was bad at
Speaker 1: all of them? It is one sport? Did you know
Speaker 1: you had no business being on the field? Football? For sure,
Speaker 1: there's no business whatever. Yeah that one. Also baseball, also basketball,
Speaker 1: also lacrosse. I mean I played squash, I played everything.
Speaker 1: Was just terrible. Squaws, squaws going down. I love it?
Speaker 1: So so you so where are you? Where were you born?
Speaker 1: And where are you based? There? Right now? I was
Speaker 1: born in Houston, Texas. Okay, now stop right there. I'm
Speaker 1: from Houston, Texas now born and raised in Houston, Texas. Ryan, So, so,
Speaker 1: what part of Houston were you born and raised in
Speaker 1: born in a little town called Kingswood. I know that's
Speaker 1: a big, big, bigness, nice living town, throwing out the
Speaker 1: New York City and the nice little town compared to
Speaker 1: fifth one in Texas where I was born. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: a big town, absolutely. And so what brought you? Uh?
Speaker 1: What brought me to New York. I graduated college and
Speaker 1: two dozen sick, and I said to myself, you know what,
Speaker 1: I don't want to do what everyone else is doing
Speaker 1: and just go get a job and live my life.
Speaker 1: I've always had this passion for theater and practicing. It's
Speaker 1: what I want to do. I've worked every summer, you know,
Speaker 1: through high school and college. That's picked up some money.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go in New York and I'm gonna try
Speaker 1: this acting thing because if I don't try it now,
Speaker 1: I will regret it for the rest of my life.
Speaker 1: And I don't want to be fifty and have a
Speaker 1: midlife crisis and then try to act with a family
Speaker 1: and kids and all that. So I gave myself two
Speaker 1: years and that's what brought me to New York City. Okay, cool?
Speaker 1: And when you went up New Yorker, I just want
Speaker 1: to talk about your life. I got I got you
Speaker 1: in the air here and I might of making a conversation,
Speaker 1: I would like to tell peop about the journey because
Speaker 1: they all they see the end results, they see you
Speaker 1: on TV. They hear the credits that I'm putting there.
Speaker 1: But this is that journey, you know, the ups and
Speaker 1: downs that that's made you here. Like I said, you
Speaker 1: went to New York. So when you go to New York,
Speaker 1: there's a lot of doubters, a lot of people because
Speaker 1: the odds of success, you know, this is so you
Speaker 1: make it in New York, you can make it anywhere.
Speaker 1: That's the big statement of entertainment. So you had New
Speaker 1: York l A. Why did you choose New York over
Speaker 1: Los Angeles? Because I really grew up outside Boston and
Speaker 1: I went to college and upstate New York, so like
Speaker 1: it was, it was closer to family. At least I
Speaker 1: knew some people. I knew friends from college who were
Speaker 1: moving to New York City with real jobs, so I
Speaker 1: could live with them. I didn't know anyone in l A.
Speaker 1: And my training really and my my interest was in
Speaker 1: theater to start, And you know, you don't go to
Speaker 1: l A for theater, really good to l a for
Speaker 1: for TVs and for movies and all that, which who
Speaker 1: knows what my life would have been like had I
Speaker 1: done that, But New York was a good place for
Speaker 1: me to be because it's also you have lots of
Speaker 1: other other opportunities. I mean, everyone you bump into on
Speaker 1: the street in New York City, that's something completely different
Speaker 1: from a place that is completely different in l A.
Speaker 1: A lot of people are there for the same industry.
Speaker 1: You know, it's an industry town. New York City is
Speaker 1: a success town. It is a it is an intellectual town.
Speaker 1: And that's what got me into real estate, which just
Speaker 1: because the opportunity was there and it was the next door,
Speaker 1: you know, otherwise I probably never would have done it.
Speaker 1: Right now, I know as as an actor, I was
Speaker 1: a former stand up comedian, so I know that you know,
Speaker 1: the key is to be able to generate income while
Speaker 1: you pursue in your career. And so I assume that
Speaker 1: you know, either you're a part time at a hope
Speaker 1: to waiter or restaurants so you can get off and
Speaker 1: be able to do these auditions. So I'm assuming that's
Speaker 1: how you got in real estate, right because they gave
Speaker 1: you your flex time. My wrong, right, No, no, no,
Speaker 1: you're right. I was lucky enough to not have to
Speaker 1: have one of those quote unquote survival jobs for you know,
Speaker 1: for for about two years, right, a year and a half,
Speaker 1: let's say, but the summer of two thousand and eight,
Speaker 1: So two years after I moved to New York, I
Speaker 1: basically just ran out of money. And it was either
Speaker 1: moved home to Colorado and my parents and moved to
Speaker 1: Colorado by that time, or get a survival job. And
Speaker 1: I didn't want to wait tables or bartend or do
Speaker 1: temp work. They just I knew too many people that
Speaker 1: were a lot older than me that had those survival jobs,
Speaker 1: and those became their job jobs, and they were doing
Speaker 1: that full time, right, And so I didn't want I
Speaker 1: didn't want that to happen. So a friend of mine said, listen,
Speaker 1: get your real estate license. It's the same thing. You mean,
Speaker 1: new people every day. It's all an improv memorized information
Speaker 1: about buildings. It's the same way you memorize scripts for acting.
Speaker 1: And you make your own hours, make your own time.
Speaker 1: If you don't want to show apartments today, you don't
Speaker 1: have to. No one's gonna fire you right, you kind
Speaker 1: of you get what you put into it, and the
Speaker 1: harder you work, the more money you can possibly make.
Speaker 1: And you know the And that's where I started, and
Speaker 1: I got into it, got my license, went to the
Speaker 1: office with the brokerage. I started at the day Lehman
Speaker 1: Brothers filed from bankruptcy in two thousand eight. Remember that,
Speaker 1: I remember that that was a big deal. And so
Speaker 1: New York City. I moved to New York City in
Speaker 1: two thousand and seven. And so my favorite city in
Speaker 1: the world is New York City because, like you said,
Speaker 1: it's just you meet everybody, and the city is just
Speaker 1: never goes to sleep. And really three o'clock in the morning,
Speaker 1: they got traffic problems in New York City. People got
Speaker 1: traffic And so so how do you because I'm I'm
Speaker 1: I've been in it. We're still in the entertainment business
Speaker 1: of a former standup comic. I've done acting and I've
Speaker 1: managed talent. It's all all was about that that conversation.
Speaker 1: How did you start? You know? I know you're you're
Speaker 1: you know you're natural. Let's I'll be honest with you.
Speaker 1: I hear you talk on the phone here, I've seen
Speaker 1: your TV show. You are natural, So how did you
Speaker 1: take those natural talents and then convert them to a salesman? Honestly,
Speaker 1: it's it's the same muscle because when you're acting, and
Speaker 1: what you learn really other than memorizing lines, you learn
Speaker 1: to listen, right. You learn to listen, You learn to
Speaker 1: to respond to people instead of just replying. You learn
Speaker 1: to breathe, You learn to adapt to different situations, you
Speaker 1: learn to be in touch with your emotions, and all
Speaker 1: of those things really is what acting is. And it's
Speaker 1: the same as being a salesperson. When someone is talking
Speaker 1: to you about a product, I have to listen to
Speaker 1: them and actually respond to what they're saying instead of
Speaker 1: just giving them a line. Right, If I just give
Speaker 1: them a line, I'm a bad actor, animal bad sales. First.
Speaker 1: If I'm having a bad day and I'm showing them apartments,
Speaker 1: I need to connect with that feeling. I need to
Speaker 1: emphasize with them the same way you do in the
Speaker 1: scene when you're working with someone who's, you know, going
Speaker 1: through a tough thing. It's it's all the same. The
Speaker 1: acting muscle is the sales muscle, which is why I
Speaker 1: tell everybody to take improv classes. Take improv classes, Get
Speaker 1: out of your own skin, get out of your own way,
Speaker 1: learn how to talk to strangers, because every single client
Speaker 1: you'll ever have is a future stranger, the same way
Speaker 1: your best friend wasn't one time a stranger. Think about
Speaker 1: everybody you know other than the people you met when
Speaker 1: you were a baby. Everybody you know right now, your wife,
Speaker 1: your husband, your partner, your best friends, that guy who's
Speaker 1: sitting next to you, at one point in time, that
Speaker 1: person was a stranger. You know, what's the worst that
Speaker 1: can happen. What I really loved about what you're saying
Speaker 1: is that you know I never thought about it that
Speaker 1: you know, when you're showing people property, everybody has a
Speaker 1: different state of mind. It might be a couple, it
Speaker 1: might be a person moving into a city. They might
Speaker 1: have a bad day. So you have to read them
Speaker 1: in that moment and then and then and kind of
Speaker 1: like play through the game of making sure that you
Speaker 1: continue the conversation moving forward. What what do you How
Speaker 1: do you convert clients? How do you convert somebody who
Speaker 1: comes in because it's a listing, they show up correct
Speaker 1: and you're showing them this particular property. How do you
Speaker 1: how do you make a person a client, you don't
Speaker 1: make them a client, you make them a friend. Nobody,
Speaker 1: nobody in this world likes to be sold, but everybody
Speaker 1: loves to go shopping with friends. Remember that, So you
Speaker 1: you have to understand that. If you know everyone likes
Speaker 1: buying things, it feels good, but they hate spending money.
Speaker 1: So how do you sell someone that hates being sold?
Speaker 1: And how do you convince them to to buy something
Speaker 1: when they hate spending money? Um, And you do that
Speaker 1: by becoming their friends. Just like I was talking about,
Speaker 1: everyone is a stranger until they're not right. So it's
Speaker 1: a matter of finding something that is relatable. It's a
Speaker 1: matter of finding something that you have in common and
Speaker 1: not going for the clothes. Like what I always tell
Speaker 1: people is converting that clients. Converting someone to actually being
Speaker 1: a client of yours is the same exact thing as
Speaker 1: walking into a bar. Right, if you walk into a bar,
Speaker 1: you're single, you're trying to meet somebody. You don't just
Speaker 1: go up and top on that girl's shoulder and say, hey,
Speaker 1: do you want to come home with me? Like that,
Speaker 1: she'll pumpch you in the face or she'll laugh at
Speaker 1: you and walk away. So it always blows my mind
Speaker 1: when I walk into a store and the sales person
Speaker 1: will come up to me and say, hey, can I
Speaker 1: help you with anything? Like no, no, I actually don't
Speaker 1: need your help. I know how to look at shoes
Speaker 1: on my own. But if they compliment me, if they
Speaker 1: compliment me, they offer me a water, show me something
Speaker 1: that's awesome that I didn't even know about. They see,
Speaker 1: my shirt is the same shirt that their boyfriend wore today,
Speaker 1: Like something that grabs the commonality. That's all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: I'm making a friend or they're making a friend with me,
Speaker 1: and I'm not just a client. And that super important.
Speaker 1: You know, it's so important you say that because that's true.
Speaker 1: It is like when you walk into a place, you
Speaker 1: have a certain set of values. Did you have what
Speaker 1: people are going to say to you? And so prepare answers.
Speaker 1: You know, if somebody you walk in the shoe store,
Speaker 1: you know you don't walk in the shoes can help
Speaker 1: with some shoes? Where win am I in here? Yeah? Yeah?
Speaker 1: And so if you say something that man, man, I
Speaker 1: like that tie. Okay. I didn't expect to like the
Speaker 1: tie question coming out your mouth. So then I then
Speaker 1: I go okay, cool. Thank you. Now suddenly I'm I'm
Speaker 1: I'm like in a social defensive and then I go
Speaker 1: to the next coach you with like some water Like
Speaker 1: he's saying, it's steps to getting breaking people down, because
Speaker 1: when you walk into a room, then people understand a
Speaker 1: certain expectation, whether it's in a restaurant or whether as
Speaker 1: as you're walking into a bar, or when you're walking
Speaker 1: into a shoe store clothing store. And that's really important
Speaker 1: and you really have kind of like analyzed that and
Speaker 1: just seems to be natural. I want to hold that thought, Ryan,
Speaker 1: because I want to bring it back to the next break,
Speaker 1: because I got a series of questions I want to
Speaker 1: ask you about, you know, the power of you you
Speaker 1: are a brand, my friend, and how social media is
Speaker 1: playing is wigh, and and how you're leading that balanced
Speaker 1: life with your family and to be suddenly successful, and
Speaker 1: you know, let's do it. Let's do it, my friend.
Speaker 1: We'll be right back with more money. Main conversation. I
Speaker 1: got a new friend, New York City. Main Ryan. You know,
Speaker 1: I ain't got no billion dollars, but I got dollars.
Speaker 1: I got dollars on the phone. Is a Ryan so
Speaker 1: hat uh, He's a reality TV star, a real estate mogul.
Speaker 1: Let's put that that mo goal, you know, and two
Speaker 1: years later, after he started with nine thousand dollars in
Speaker 1: his first year, he leads a team of sixty brokers
Speaker 1: and averages a billion dollars in sales every year, making
Speaker 1: him one of the most successful real estate brokers in
Speaker 1: the world. Now, Ryan Walkers through your path to your
Speaker 1: multimillion dollar career at just thirty years old. Oh man,
Speaker 1: you know I football. You just say, oh man, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, honestly the kind of through lines in my
Speaker 1: life and the power of the word, the word yeah.
Speaker 1: I said yes to everything, right except for drugs. I've
Speaker 1: said yes to to everything. And I would rather regret
Speaker 1: the things I did than the things I never tried,
Speaker 1: because it's I'm so terrified every day of of like
Speaker 1: the loss of potential, you know, and every day is
Speaker 1: another day that will never have ever again, And I'm
Speaker 1: just so thankful to even just be alive. Man. I
Speaker 1: know that sounds so crazy, and people are listening to
Speaker 1: this and they're like, dude, that guy's saying, you know,
Speaker 1: take a break, you know, take a map. But at
Speaker 1: the same time, like I have known too many people
Speaker 1: whose lives have been too cut shorts, and I want
Speaker 1: to milk every day. But so as born in Texas,
Speaker 1: grew up us at Boston. I moved eight times before
Speaker 1: I was in the fourth grade. I sucked at sports.
Speaker 1: The only thing I was good at with theater. I
Speaker 1: graduated college and Upstate New York with a degree in English. Uh.
Speaker 1: Moved down to Manhattan in two thousands six, tried to
Speaker 1: act for two years. I did a soap opera, then
Speaker 1: they killed me. I didn't stand modeling to pay rent.
Speaker 1: I held phones for a T and P for a while. Um,
Speaker 1: if you google Ryan Sirhant my name, can the model,
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a fun shrip. I dare anyone to
Speaker 1: do that. So I was. I was a pretty big
Speaker 1: can model and then I ran out of money, got
Speaker 1: into real estate at the end of two thousand and
Speaker 1: eight when the Great Recession started, and I just became
Speaker 1: obsessed with the idea that I the harder I worked,
Speaker 1: the better the chances that I would make an income,
Speaker 1: and that my life was in my own hands, My
Speaker 1: destiny was in my own hands. And that's what I
Speaker 1: became obsessed with with regards to selling That's why I
Speaker 1: love sales, you know, That's why I love meeting new people.
Speaker 1: Every day. Every single day is different. I'm not punching paper,
Speaker 1: you know. I'm trying to meet new people, trying to
Speaker 1: decide what I need to do. And uh, I got
Speaker 1: lucky in two thousand ten. And even though I quit
Speaker 1: acting in two thousand and eight, I kind of came
Speaker 1: back around into it because I went to a casting
Speaker 1: call for A million Dollar List in New York. That's
Speaker 1: the show on Bravo, and I was cast on that
Speaker 1: in two thousand and ten. The first season came out
Speaker 1: in the two thousand twelve and I have just milked
Speaker 1: that as much as I possibly could and use that
Speaker 1: as much as I can to build my real estate career.
Speaker 1: And you know, I made nine thousand dollars my first year.
Speaker 1: Last year, I sold eight hundred thirty eight million dollars
Speaker 1: worth the real estate. Wow. Congratulations. Applause needs to start
Speaker 1: at the start, at the end of that speech, not really,
Speaker 1: because you know the thing that the thing I hear
Speaker 1: about is that when I hear your your conversation is
Speaker 1: about you see an opportunity, you don't run from it.
Speaker 1: You know, you understand, you know, fear is not an option.
Speaker 1: Fear is an opportunity to go through for an option.
Speaker 1: And so, but doing these deals, what is the hardest deal? What? What? What?
Speaker 1: What would you consider a hard deal to close? Or
Speaker 1: has there been an ultimately hard deal to close in
Speaker 1: your in your real estate career? Um? You know it's
Speaker 1: you can't negotiate with someone's wallet, but you can negotiate
Speaker 1: with their stealing. Like you can make someone happy, you
Speaker 1: can make someone sad, you can make someone I did.
Speaker 1: But if someone doesn't have the money in their pocket,
Speaker 1: like they're however, they're not gonna get it. So the
Speaker 1: artist deals to do or are with people that probably
Speaker 1: just can't if we can't afford it, um and like
Speaker 1: because those are always like going up against a wall
Speaker 1: right now, that honestly, and people who lie, and like,
Speaker 1: how how am I going to work with someone and
Speaker 1: build trust with someone who lies to me about anything? Like?
Speaker 1: Those are the toughest types of deals to do. I mean,
Speaker 1: I listen, I can talk to you for a thousand
Speaker 1: hours about hard deals and dead deals and the toughest
Speaker 1: deals I've ever done. I know we don't have that
Speaker 1: kind of time, but like, if I had to bury
Speaker 1: it all down. It comes down to those two things,
Speaker 1: because um, you know, you know, let me imagine it
Speaker 1: is you have couples come in, you have individuals come in,
Speaker 1: an you have it is working with a couple to
Speaker 1: try to get them to make a decision. Is that tough,
Speaker 1: especially when they don't know what they're looking for? When
Speaker 1: it comes to really uh yeah, you know it's there
Speaker 1: to listen, I tell everybody, at the end of the day,
Speaker 1: you're gonna buy something you love and you're excited about it.
Speaker 1: But it's buying real estate is one an education process.
Speaker 1: You have to understand neighborhoods, the areas, schools, when is trash,
Speaker 1: pick pricing, values, calm for the market, going where it's said,
Speaker 1: all that stuff. Um, but it's also a process of
Speaker 1: elimination if you're looking to buy at home, so it's
Speaker 1: you know, eliminating what your husband wants and eliminating what
Speaker 1: you want to and trying to come to a compromise.
Speaker 1: Like I've never gone to a closing for a property
Speaker 1: and had to buy or stand up and say, oh
Speaker 1: my gosh, I got exactly what I wanted my dream home,
Speaker 1: and I spent way less than I ever wanted to set.
Speaker 1: No one has ever said that everyone gets kind of
Speaker 1: what they wanted for more than they wanted to stead.
Speaker 1: That's how it works. I once you understand that, then
Speaker 1: I can work with couple too are having a hard time.
Speaker 1: I can, you know, work with difficult people and just
Speaker 1: try to ease them towards a good option. Well, you
Speaker 1: are working in what they call high real estate country
Speaker 1: New York City, and so that there. So now I
Speaker 1: know that I'm fortunately have a home in in the
Speaker 1: Houston of a home in Atlanta, and that there's a
Speaker 1: wild factor. I know when I walked into the home
Speaker 1: that I bought in Atlanta. Wow, my wife had to
Speaker 1: stopped me because I was like, I want this house
Speaker 1: and you can tell it right now, you know you
Speaker 1: you're blew it. So what is the Is there a
Speaker 1: wild factor when you see customers who walk into a facility,
Speaker 1: walk into an apartment, a condo, town home and say,
Speaker 1: I want this? How do you How do you leverage
Speaker 1: instant love for a property to say how do I
Speaker 1: can close this? How do you this? It has to
Speaker 1: be something like type of wild factor huh um. Yes,
Speaker 1: and no, obviously a lot of things I tell are
Speaker 1: don't have a wild factor, but they have a wild
Speaker 1: factor for that person. I will say, I use something
Speaker 1: when i'm telling called the wild moment in my book
Speaker 1: right right right about in the book. Um, and that's
Speaker 1: where you know, let's say someone has a budget of
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know, like five hundred thousand dollars, okay,
Speaker 1: and in a lot of places that's a significant amount
Speaker 1: of money for home in New York City, it's not right.
Speaker 1: It gets you maybe a closet. So um. So I
Speaker 1: and I know that most people don't want to We
Speaker 1: don't want to live in a closet, right, but I
Speaker 1: know that that's what they can afford, and that's what
Speaker 1: they're gonna end up having to buy. So I will
Speaker 1: show them something to wow them. That's maybe six hundred thousand, right,
Speaker 1: maybe six thousand, and I'll tell them, don't buy it.
Speaker 1: You're not gonna buy this. But I'm with you today
Speaker 1: we're looking at properties. I just want to wow you
Speaker 1: for a second because this property is so cool. They'll
Speaker 1: see its obviously they're wowed. Holy craft, they could never
Speaker 1: afford it, but oh my goodness, this thing is so amazing.
Speaker 1: Thank you for showing me that was fun. Now I
Speaker 1: take them to what they actually want. It's going to
Speaker 1: look worse than what they saw, but it gives them
Speaker 1: something to fight for. It gives them something to get
Speaker 1: excited about, because Okay, I could buy this, I'll make
Speaker 1: some money, I'll sell us, and then I can probably
Speaker 1: one day get that apartment you have showed me, right,
Speaker 1: I wanted that. I so wow, and I say yes,
Speaker 1: and it pushes them to make their own decision to
Speaker 1: make that purchase. How does social media player role in
Speaker 1: your career? Social media? I listen it is. It is
Speaker 1: the only way that I know how to passively make friends.
Speaker 1: Social media is as long as you consistently post your
Speaker 1: social honestly right social media, meaning you engage with people
Speaker 1: in the comments section. You're commenting on other people's stuff.
Speaker 1: So many people on social media are just so unsocial.
Speaker 1: They post and then they leave it alone. They scroll
Speaker 1: through other people's things, but they don't like, they don't comment,
Speaker 1: they don't engage there As a it's passive friendship. You
