1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,080
Speaker 1: My next guest employs a diverse staff of professionals, many

2
00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:06,240
Speaker 1: of whom are multi lingual, which is an assets when

3
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:09,240
Speaker 1: dealing with international clients, which lets you know she's worldwide,

4
00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:13,800
Speaker 1: she's not some domestic. She is also licensed realtor. Licensed

5
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:17,279
Speaker 1: realtor in three states Georgia, Florida, in Texas because you

6
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:19,360
Speaker 1: live in Houston as well, right, correct, I'm actually a

7
00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:23,760
Speaker 1: real estate broker. That's what I only show, just educated

8
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:26,120
Speaker 1: because because I want to know I bought enough homes.

9
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:28,560
Speaker 1: I want to what's the real estate broker world? We

10
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:30,920
Speaker 1: get all that, you know, because I learned from my

11
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:33,239
Speaker 1: guests as well, So you know that I know a

12
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:34,560
Speaker 1: lot and I will tell people I'm gonna do it

13
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:36,280
Speaker 1: at all, but then I also ask a questions about

14
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:38,159
Speaker 1: what I don't know. So the only difference is is

15
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:41,440
Speaker 1: that a real estate broker can own a brokerage and

16
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:47,280
Speaker 1: higher agents. Every agent has to have a broker. Okay, okay, cool, Okay,

17
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:50,199
Speaker 1: she's just at even said her name. Yet you know

18
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:53,240
Speaker 1: she's you know, That's why that's why I have studio

19
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:56,240
Speaker 1: guests right now, right the last two year guests of

20
00:00:56,240 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 1: the year right here, right last. She also follows me

21
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:04,400
Speaker 1: up social media because she knows I'm a baker and

22
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 1: she loves the baker as well. Please working to money

23
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 1: making conversations. Sylvia Weddington, thank you, how you doing well?

Speaker 1: Good here? Look fashionably, got your black ole, got your

25
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:17,480
Speaker 1: hair flooring. That that's the look you will. You know,

26
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 1: I always tell people people said, you look nice to this.

27
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 1: I know where the mirror is. That it's there's a

28
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:25,679
Speaker 1: purpose in my house. And so that's what I tell people,

29
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:28,039
Speaker 1: and they compliment me, and I take the compliment in

30
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:31,480
Speaker 1: a very you know, a humble manner because you know,

31
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 1: people don't have to say nice things about you. Thank you.

32
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 1: And so when I look at your company, was talking

33
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 1: about a broker and a realtor because you're all these

34
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:42,320
Speaker 1: shows on TV. You know, you know, fixed this, flip this.

35
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 1: Are you one of those people. I'm not one of

36
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 1: those people. You're not flipping in slipping and you're not

37
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 1: going in by the house for a hundred thousand and

38
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 1: then tearing hous and walls and no. But I help

39
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 1: people do that. Okay, we help people do that. So

40
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 1: we definitely particularly literally in the area in the around

41
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:06,559
Speaker 1: the Mercedes Benz Stadium, that's a hot area for people

42
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 1: to go in and fix something and flip it and

43
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:10,360
Speaker 1: try to flip it. And so so what that means

44
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 1: that they were watching enough television means you buy the

45
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 1: home at this rate and do do you? They do

46
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 1: fix it up? Right? They fix it up and the

47
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 1: purpose of fixing it up under a certain fee so

48
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 1: they can sell it for some type of profit exactly,

49
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 1: and that you'll do it. But you know clients. I

50
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:27,959
Speaker 1: know clients. I have clients that do that. So I'll

51
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:31,079
Speaker 1: take them out to preview the property and they will

52
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 1: decide whether or not they want to purchase that property,

53
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 1: and they know what the budget is of what they

54
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 1: wanted are wanting to add into that property. And then

55
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 1: they purchase the property and go in and fix it

56
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:45,240
Speaker 1: and they either most of the time they lease it

57
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:49,239
Speaker 1: out or sometimes they sell it. Now here's isn't it?

58
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 1: You said Florida? You said Georgia and Texas. Correct. Why

59
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:56,639
Speaker 1: are three locations for your company? Well, um, we are

60
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,640
Speaker 1: a global company. And the three locations because because I

61
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 1: lived Texas, that's where I started, and we moved around

62
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 1: a bit. So I started, I moved to Atlanta, and

63
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:10,920
Speaker 1: you know, so I needed to to have a license

64
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 1: here as well, So I kept Texas and then and

65
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 1: then it's also a place where a lot of people

66
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 1: who are athletes get traded to, so it's easier for

67
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:23,800
Speaker 1: me to be licensed in those states. Plus I know

68
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 1: the layer of the land, right, and I know Texas

69
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 1: is a is a no tax state. Georgia is a

70
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 1: tax state. Florida is a no tax state. Correct. Correct. However,

71
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 1: in Texas the property taxes extremely um inflated. So you

72
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 1: may not have other taxes, but that property tax will

73
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 1: get you and that does not go away. And that's

74
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 1: the thing we let people know that the property tax,

75
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 1: you know, everything else, even the mortgage will go away,

76
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 1: but the property tax does not. Okay, So, so so

77
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 1: talk about walkers through your business because you have different layers.

78
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 1: So I'm not going to do a disservice in nect

79
00:03:58,080 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 1: like you do just one thing, because you have a

80
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 1: n tierre part of your business as well. So we're

81
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 1: talking about realty. Be a realtor or broker. You're broker, right, Okay? Cool?

82
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 1: So talk about how do you do your conduct your

83
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 1: business in three different states? Well, um, I have a

84
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 1: lot of frequent flyer mills. Um, So I probably can't

85
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 1: be too uh. But one of one of the ways

86
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 1: that we do our business is that we um we

87
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,160
Speaker 1: are have a concert or service that if you were

88
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 1: buying a house uh anywhere in the world, we would

89
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:36,040
Speaker 1: go and preview that house for you and and narrow

90
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:39,280
Speaker 1: down to three to five properties and when you are

91
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 1: ready to maybe go to where it is, it could

92
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,159
Speaker 1: be in Russia, it could be here in the United States,

93
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 1: we would meet you there. Russia. Yeah, in Russia. Yeah,

94
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 1: I have clients in Russia. They mainly buy a lot

95
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 1: in Miami. So but yeah, you can come to Russia,

96
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 1: we could go to China, we could go anywhere in

97
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:01,480
Speaker 1: the world, and um we are. We have a global

98
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:05,720
Speaker 1: couple of Russian trips knock right there. Yeah, I don't

99
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:08,160
Speaker 1: have a lot of those because I have two teenagers,

100
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 1: so that that that cuts down a lot of we're talking.

101
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:13,720
Speaker 1: That's how we met them. Just a little backstories that

102
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:18,160
Speaker 1: we went to orientation together the National Minority Supplies Development

103
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:22,359
Speaker 1: councilor m b E. And I know why I well,

104
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:24,919
Speaker 1: I'm trying to uh. First of all, I wanted my company,

105
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 1: which is third fifteen meeting. You can go to media

106
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 1: dot com and you can see I do talent management

107
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:34,279
Speaker 1: that I have, I do live events, I do marketing

108
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 1: and branding. So I'm trying to find out and cree

109
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:42,799
Speaker 1: relationships within the industry nationally and especially in Georgia, telling

110
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 1: people what I do and so what what what? What

111
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 1: was your purpose of joining the council? My purpose was

112
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:53,480
Speaker 1: to be able to meet people like you, uh and

113
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:56,040
Speaker 1: people who were serious about their business. Because, as you know,

114
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 1: it takes they don't just let you walk in the door.

115
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 1: It's a long drawn out process and you know, in

116
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 1: a strong vetting process. So when you know when you

117
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:10,360
Speaker 1: walk into a room with the people who actually took

118
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 1: the time to invest in getting that certification that they're

119
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 1: serious about their business, and you know, just to be

120
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:21,159
Speaker 1: able to work and network with with other business owners

121
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 1: like myself, well you know that that's really what this

122
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 1: is all about, because I was a number of our

123
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 1: organizations usually part of is a member of the World

124
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 1: e r C, which the Employee Relocation Council correct and

125
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 1: then you're also a number of the global mobilities, your

126
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 1: global mobility specialists. So when I'm going through your bio,

127
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 1: I'm seeing that you understand being connected and being and

128
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 1: being in these relationships and create an environment. Because quite frankly,

129
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 1: that's why you're on this show right now, because we

130
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 1: went to the same council. Otherwise you wouldn't be on

131
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 1: this show. So this is extending your brand outside of

132
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 1: what you would normally do comfortably. Yes, absolutely, absolutely, and

133
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:05,479
Speaker 1: that's what this is all about. This may lead to

134
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:08,920
Speaker 1: something nails, it may not, but it's still brand development.

135
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 1: It's brand exposure, and that's what it's all about with

136
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 1: your brand. How long have you been in this type

137
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 1: of business. I've been in this business for twenty years.

138
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 1: And it takes a long time to build a real

139
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 1: estate business, particularly because in real estate people see you

140
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 1: as competition and so there's not a lot of people

141
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 1: who will kind of reach out across the aisles to

142
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 1: help you, and you kind of have to. You say,

143
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 1: you don't listen to other people's stories because it's not yours,

144
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 1: and that's very true. However, you know, sometimes you don't

145
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 1: see a lot of that in real estate because they

146
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:44,240
Speaker 1: just don't do it. You know, they like, um, you know,

147
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 1: like no, you know this is got that to you

148
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:49,560
Speaker 1: out there? How do you get your hustle on? I've

149
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 1: knowing that you have no mentors. Yeah, well actually I do. Okay.

150
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 1: One of my mentors is one who I've absolutely never met,

151
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 1: and Nest Tyler here I read a lot. I read

152
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 1: all of his things and you know how he was successful,

153
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 1: and it's certainly different because we're two different things. But

154
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 1: you know what I like most is that he says,

155
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 1: you know, whatever you're gonna do, just step out and

156
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 1: and and do it. You know, if you're gonna start,

157
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 1: you know, walking or exercising, if you go out for

158
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 1: five minutes, is to start and come back. So and

159
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 1: I've actually done that because you know, I was like, yes,

160
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 1: and now I'm up to ten miles. Yeah, so I

161
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:31,679
Speaker 1: started out small. Uh. My other mentor is Orlando Lynch

162
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:35,200
Speaker 1: at Atlanta Peach Movers, and he's always available to answer

163
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 1: questions and help me out and text me back when

164
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:40,560
Speaker 1: I have a problem, whether it be with staff or

165
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 1: the running up the business. And and it's kind of

166
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 1: related to what we do because you know, he's moving

167
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 1: people and and and that's what we're doing. We're moving

168
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:53,840
Speaker 1: people as well, and so that's really interesting. So so basically,

169
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 1: by I guess that's what I'm doing. And I know

170
00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 1: that's what I'm doing money making conversation because that's why

171
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 1: I start at this. Should just have your story. Your

172
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 1: story is compelling, its stories relatable, and people need to

173
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:08,560
Speaker 1: hear your story. And so as as we as we

174
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:11,560
Speaker 1: write down this information that you've given us, what is

175
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:15,440
Speaker 1: your biggest takeaway? Give a gift of information to individuals

176
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 1: who who are listening to you right now because you

177
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:21,679
Speaker 1: because you survived that little a little dip. Yes, I

178
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:25,560
Speaker 1: did housing that the President Obama had to pull us

179
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 1: out of. So being licensed in three states was it

180
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:33,560
Speaker 1: wasn't a great thing as well because in Texas we

181
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:37,320
Speaker 1: didn't uh the market didn't take such a known statin

182
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:40,200
Speaker 1: as it did here. Uh it did in my analgy

183
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 1: in Florida. Yeah, Georgia and Florida took a hard hit

184
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:50,320
Speaker 1: because the real estate market. Uh there, I imagine that

185
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:54,840
Speaker 1: there's there's more people that moved into the Georgia area

186
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 1: and and they were not that they owned more property

187
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 1: and they add a lot less um equity in the

188
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 1: in the in the in the properties. And so when

189
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 1: when they when they took a nose dive and they

190
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:12,840
Speaker 1: had to leave it, it just plummeted. So that you know.

191
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:16,559
Speaker 1: That's one of the main reasons. Um So let me

192
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 1: ask you this, because because you deal with all types,

193
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:23,839
Speaker 1: you know, but you didn't start going to China, you

194
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:27,079
Speaker 1: didn't start going to Russia, you didn't start dealing with athletes.

195
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:29,560
Speaker 1: It was just you and you had to step out.

196
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:32,080
Speaker 1: You had to like figure out who you who you

197
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:35,200
Speaker 1: are and why you're doing this. Can you tell me

198
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 1: some of those steps? Well, because because like I always

199
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 1: tell people, when you're not doing something normal, then people

200
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 1: will question you. People will go that don't make any sense,

201
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 1: right because you because and sometimes you don't know because

202
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 1: you can't you know when you know. It's just like

203
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:50,560
Speaker 1: I'm an entertainment I can't tell you all the time

204
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 1: how I'm getting paid, and that confuses people. And also

205
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:56,199
Speaker 1: and I tell people that I do what's about eight

206
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 1: hour day, and they're go, I first of all, I

207
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 1: got try to tell because because it leads to more questions.

208
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,960
Speaker 1: And so because so is the world you live in

209
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:10,959
Speaker 1: a world a lonely world or world is engaged with

210
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 1: communicating with a lot of people all the time. Yeah,

211
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 1: it's it's a very lonely world when it comes to

212
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 1: being a business owner. But being engaged with people and

213
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 1: uh making them, um, helping them to find what they

214
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:30,320
Speaker 1: need in terms of a home. So before I did this,

215
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 1: I was a hospital chaplain and and I had great

216
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:37,560
Speaker 1: I have great passion for hospital chaplaincy. And one of

217
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:41,719
Speaker 1: the things that, um, I couldn't keep a schedule. That

218
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 1: was the main thing. So I had two sons, I

219
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:46,080
Speaker 1: can't keep a schedule, what do I do? I don't

220
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:49,959
Speaker 1: want to stay at home. So I started looking at

221
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 1: real estate and I had a passion for that as well.

222
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:56,560
Speaker 1: Also my neighbor's passion for real estate. What what is that?

223
00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:58,840
Speaker 1: You know? Like I understand Like I was a stand

224
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 1: up comedian and I was that was going to stage

225
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,280
Speaker 1: telling jokes and all that stuff, and I wanted to

226
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 1: be an actor. Couldn't sing that I can, like it

227
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:12,679
Speaker 1: look good trying. So so we said passion for real estate.

228
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 1: A passion for real estate is is like all I

229
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:19,679
Speaker 1: thought about with structures, Uh, the anatomy of a house,

230
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:22,719
Speaker 1: what it looks like, everything about it. So when when

231
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 1: you and I look at a house, we're going to

232
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 1: see something totally different. I'm gonna see, you know, how

233
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 1: it was made and constructed. Uh what maybe what century

234
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:33,520
Speaker 1: that some of the columns, or if there were some

235
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 1: what they came out of, you know, all of the

236
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 1: different things that make up a house. And you know,

237
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 1: what is it going to be like if a family

238
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 1: moves into this house? And when when? When what people

239
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:47,240
Speaker 1: walk into a house with me and they say, yeah,

240
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:49,959
Speaker 1: you know I can, I can make this work, then

241
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 1: I'm not going to sell in that house. I want

242
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:55,439
Speaker 1: to hear. Oh, now this is it because I know

243
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:58,200
Speaker 1: that you have to live there for you know, many

244
00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 1: years or whatever, and you don't want that number becomes

245
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:08,440
Speaker 1: on speed out exactly. Some money ain't good money, it's right, yeah, yeah,

246
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 1: So you know, if I know it is close to

247
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:12,959
Speaker 1: a landfield or something like that, we we we let

00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 1: I don't put it out there, but it is a

270
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 1: point of difference. I had one client that called and

271
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 1: she was trying to get married and she couldn't find

272

Speaker 1: wedding and she posted it on social media didn't because

276
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 1: what role does social media playing your brand? Gosh, it

277
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 1: plays every role in my brand. You know, people get

278
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:49,800
Speaker 1: to see who I am, what we're doing, um, and

279
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 1: what offers we have, what what real estate looks like? Uh,

280
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 1: how to purchase a home because it's there's a lot

281
00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:01,200
Speaker 1: of different steps and a lot of moving pieces. So uh,

282
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 1: it's you know, it's educational for people who want to

283
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 1: who particular people who have never bought a home. Yeah,

284
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 1: before I know, I started a little bit of this

285
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:11,240
Speaker 1: conversation got off of we was talking about two thousand

286
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 1: and eight when the housing crisis head and I was

287
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 1: talking about Georgia in Texas and how Georgia Georgia and Florida,

288
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 1: or Georgia Florida and Texas and Georgia and Florida hit

289
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 1: a lot worse than Texas. But how did you survive

290
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 1: that moment? You know, because I'm sure a lot I'm

291
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:28,200
Speaker 1: sure that's when a lot of doubts. As you've chosen

292
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 1: the right profession, how can you how can get around that?

293
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 1: But you said what helped you was you were in

294
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 1: three different states. Yeah, it helped me to be in

295
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 1: three different states, and it also helped that I didn't

296
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:44,000
Speaker 1: really have to depend on real estate h and I

297
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 1: still worked as a chaplain part time. And when you

298
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:50,040
Speaker 1: get into real estate, one of the things that you

299
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 1: have to do before you really can do it full

300
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:55,760
Speaker 1: time is to be able to work until you can

301
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 1: get to that point. And that's and that's the hard part,

302
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:02,480
Speaker 1: because it is it is a great investment as well,

303
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:06,360
Speaker 1: it's not it's not um cheap to be a real

304
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 1: estate agent. They have a lot of fees, and a

305
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:11,880
Speaker 1: broker has even more fees, right right, right. So, so

306
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:14,640
Speaker 1: with that being said, because you've you've you we've talked

307
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:17,160
Speaker 1: about that balanced life. You know, I always tell people

308
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:22,160
Speaker 1: my show that from I didn't have a balanced life.

309
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:24,880
Speaker 1: You know, building and working with Steve is a part

310
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 1: that Steve Harvey as a business partner, traveling all over

311
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:30,920
Speaker 1: this country doing all these different television shows. You know,

312
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 1: My relationship with my my daughter was fantastic. But she

313
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 1: was a tennis she's a tennis protege as they would say,

314
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 1: you know, phenome as they say, and and so and

315
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:45,240
Speaker 1: in fact, if you come to my house, she has

316
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 1: a little tennis I built tennis house, the tennis court, everything,

317
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 1: and so because that's whatever's a dream. And I felt

318
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 1: that I was not gonna get in the way of saying, hey,

319
00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know if you're gonna make it,

320
00:16:57,920 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 1: but I would tell you when I when I started

321
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:02,320
Speaker 1: man geen uh, when I stop managing Steve Harvey in

322
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 1: s I got to go on the road with her

323
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:08,719
Speaker 1: and H and I got to see women who were

324
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 1: eight thirty, and I didn't like what I saw because

325
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:15,280
Speaker 1: I was, what's you know, what's that option? You know,

326
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 1: what if you don't make it? Because there's no guarantees,

327
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 1: And so I can get what would her life be

328
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:22,480
Speaker 1: because she had no social life, you know, because she

329
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:24,639
Speaker 1: was always out on the court, but she didn't go

330
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:28,200
Speaker 1: to prom, you know, and so she was or playing tennis.

331
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:32,120
Speaker 1: And so you have a similar situation that's extreme because

332
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 1: you because you have sons. I mean, at least they

333
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:36,919
Speaker 1: get to talk to each other, like the William sisters

334
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:40,080
Speaker 1: that the William sisters to help them kind of like

335
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 1: walk through the path and bounce things off each other.

336
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:46,360
Speaker 1: But swimming, Now, when you say the words swimming, people

337
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:48,440
Speaker 1: would rather go, oh, they're just diving in the water,

338
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:49,800
Speaker 1: putting on this a little lotle thing that should be

339
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:56,919
Speaker 1: a cheap spore. No, they are like the the they have.

340
00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:59,320
Speaker 1: They have a suit call a fascin and it's only

341
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:03,479
Speaker 1: good for about five or ten swims faskin and those

342
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 1: are five hundred dollars, so they only put those on

343
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:12,960
Speaker 1: for major races, and not to mention the goggles and

344
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:17,440
Speaker 1: the training and yes, so okay, so it's almost comic,

345
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:21,200
Speaker 1: but major races. Now you you see him just walking

346
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 1: out the house with and that's the cheap one, that's

347
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:26,639
Speaker 1: five and so that makes them like I guess slide

348
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 1: the water propels the water a certain way and helps

349
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:34,880
Speaker 1: to constrict the muscles. And so, uh, swimmers who are

350
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 1: competitive swimmers, as my sons are, that's that's what they have.

351
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 1: And what age are they right now? They're at sixteen

352
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 1: and eighteen. They just aged up. But they've been doing

353
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:45,479
Speaker 1: this since they were two years old. So I've been

354
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:48,479
Speaker 1: waking up at four o'clock in the morning since they

355
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:51,160
Speaker 1: were two years old. How did that start? How did

356
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 1: that start? Actually? I wanted them to learn how to swim,

357
00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:56,880
Speaker 1: and we moved into a new subdivision and they they

358
00:18:56,960 --> 00:19:00,640
Speaker 1: had just opened the swimming pool and I took him

359
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:02,199
Speaker 1: down there to learn how to swim, and they and

360
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 1: they did, you know, they did all the other sports

361
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:07,080
Speaker 1: and then they decided that they wanted to swim competitively.

362
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:11,600
Speaker 1: So it's swimming. It's very early, so they run in

363
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 1: the water, they wake up, you know, and they are

364
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 1: very dedicated. Um, they've been training for this for a

365
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:20,400
Speaker 1: long time, since they were two years old. Like I said,

366
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:22,960
Speaker 1: they've been in the water. So we get up. They

367
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:26,680
Speaker 1: have to be in in the pool by five every

368
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 1: morning before school, and then after school they go back

369
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:33,480
Speaker 1: at four fifteen in the evening and they swim until

370
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:37,480
Speaker 1: about that's right, you know, that's what I'm saying that.

371
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 1: So it's so it's such a blessing that they have

372
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 1: each other because that's a rare isolated life. You know,

373
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:46,720
Speaker 1: there's no time to really mingle, right, and it it

374
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:51,399
Speaker 1: well that their coaches is better at helping them mingle, uh,

375
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:53,479
Speaker 1: the coach that they have now. But with swimmers, they

376
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 1: never get to mingle because they're actually in the water.

377
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:58,320
Speaker 1: So they don't really get to tennis. Yeah, you know,

378
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:02,520
Speaker 1: unless you're playing doubles, you know, intendance, you might talk

379
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:06,120
Speaker 1: to somebody, but basically it's an individual sport and so

380
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:10,120
Speaker 1: so that's what I really, uh, I really feel good

381
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:12,920
Speaker 1: about your situation because at least they get to understake,

382
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:15,600
Speaker 1: get to bounce off anything that they want to they're

383
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 1: confused about, they have to run to you. They're they're

384
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:22,320
Speaker 1: they're each other's best friends. Well not always they're brothers.

385
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:25,120
Speaker 1: But you know, you know, I can't I'm gonna beat

386
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:28,200
Speaker 1: you and I can't wait to a you know. So

387
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:31,640
Speaker 1: they're you know, they're they're competitive, and especially now they're

388
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 1: in the same competitive group, so you know, now they

389
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:36,960
Speaker 1: want but you know, but that's a good thing because

390
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:39,120
Speaker 1: of the fact that they pushes them, you know, because

391
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 1: I like that, because of the fact that you know,

392
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:45,840
Speaker 1: we know this is not an extreme competitiveness, and it's like, hey,

393
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:47,879
Speaker 1: you beat me today, I don't beat you tomorrow. And

394
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:50,920
Speaker 1: of course it's the younger one who's who's driving to

395
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:53,200
Speaker 1: beat the older one. That sounds like you're at my house.

396
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 1: I have a daughter, she's twenty two now. She said

397
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:01,560
Speaker 1: she blew out her knee when she was nineteen and

398
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:04,760
Speaker 1: uh and so when she looked at me and she said, uh, dad,

399
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:06,960
Speaker 1: I said, what do you want to do? Because I

400
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:09,680
Speaker 1: knew that was about her third serious injury and ship

401
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:12,920
Speaker 1: broken good a shoulder. So I knew at that point,

402
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:16,600
Speaker 1: you know that have their interest, they do it. And

403
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:19,159
Speaker 1: then so I was like, um, and so I I

404
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:21,760
Speaker 1: told him what you wanted world to college. And I

405
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:25,679
Speaker 1: immediately told her, do not worry about the expenses that

406
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:28,720
Speaker 1: you incurred in pursuing a tenant's career, because that that

407
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:32,000
Speaker 1: guilt and that that guilt will pop on them real hard.

408
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 1: You know what they see like the swim bro if

409
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:39,879
Speaker 1: they make a decision to change then and then that

410
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:42,119
Speaker 1: that's when the guilt will come about. And you have

411
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:44,560
Speaker 1: to be really aware of that because of the fact

412
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:46,720
Speaker 1: that they know, they know how much money you're spending.

413
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:49,359
Speaker 1: You might think they don't know, but they're totally all

414
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:52,320
Speaker 1: that information in their heads and they are there there,

415
00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:55,720
Speaker 1: there there. They feel they're blessed that is happening for them,

416
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:59,119
Speaker 1: but they also can can be overwhelmed by it. And

417
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:01,719
Speaker 1: so that's when I'm saying this really important. Oh, they

418
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:03,520
Speaker 1: can be overwhelmed by it. And so because of the

419
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:05,200
Speaker 1: fact that they do know, they know how much that

420
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 1: two cars. When it goes bad, they know that mommy

421
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:11,879
Speaker 1: has to go get another one, and they really really

422
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:13,920
Speaker 1: don't want to, but they know that's the only way

423
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:15,920
Speaker 1: they can compete because everything is down to a tenth

424
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:19,240
Speaker 1: of a second that you can win or lose a major,

425
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:22,080
Speaker 1: major swimp meat and things like that. So so with

426
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 1: that being said, what is the future for you, you know,

427
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 1: for your company, for your brain? You know. I start

428
00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:31,080
Speaker 1: off with this major introduction about you know, we got

429
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:34,280
Speaker 1: multi lingual, you know, and then you mentioned rushy and

430
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:36,560
Speaker 1: you try to reshine it's not many trips there, but

431
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 1: there are trips. You know. Have Survibe two thousand eight.

432
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:43,120
Speaker 1: I'm in texasm and Jogia in Florida. You know. Yeah,

433
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:46,720
Speaker 1: you know something go bag. You can always pray about it. Yeah, yeah,

434
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 1: Well I take a lot of turnaround trips, so I

435
00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:51,080
Speaker 1: may leave at four in the morning and be back

436
00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:53,639
Speaker 1: at four in the that's my girl. So my goal

437
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:56,879
Speaker 1: is that my children see me when they wake up

438
00:22:57,320 --> 00:23:00,160
Speaker 1: and I make their breakfast, and they see me when

439
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:02,720
Speaker 1: they get home because I will have made their dinner.

440
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:05,040
Speaker 1: So I put I use a lot of crop pots

441
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 1: and things like that, and so dinner's ready. So when

442
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:09,679
Speaker 1: they get home, I'm there, you know, and I'm serving dinner.

443
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:12,399
Speaker 1: It's a very rare ocation that I'm not there, and

444
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:15,240
Speaker 1: I'm certainly at every every swim event. I don't miss

445
00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:19,639
Speaker 1: any who. Now that's that's the family, that's that's work.

446
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 1: Any charity, any foundations that you're tied to. Yes, I

447
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 1: have a foundation. It is called Ella's Heart Foundation. It

448
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:31,880
Speaker 1: was a foundation that started started in memory of my mom.

449
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:35,719
Speaker 1: She uh as a young child, had rheumatic fever and

450
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:39,719
Speaker 1: at five o'clocks, I mean at five years old, she

451
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:43,399
Speaker 1: became a cook for the family because she couldn't go

452
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 1: out and work like everybody else, like they had a

453
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:49,560
Speaker 1: feel so they had to work the field. But anyway,

454
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:53,199
Speaker 1: as her life progressed, she had heart problems and she

455
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:59,600
Speaker 1: had from Late Charles Louisiana, Louisiana. That sounds very well,

456
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 1: Apple looses Louisiana. Are're gonna go back a little bit.

457
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:08,960
Speaker 1: That's where she was. Everything is right up north of Lafaena.

458
00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:11,359
