The barrier to entry today to becoming an entrepreneur is lower than it’s ever been. -Tim Rhode

We started with Tim’s blue collar background, struggling to make ends meet as a husband and father of two. “It’s called motivation!” Tim pointed out, and went on to explain that he referred 11 people to his Realtor friend over the course of a year. He added up the potential commissions if he handled those deals himself, and decided to get his license. Tim went on to sell 2,500 homes in 18 years in Manteca, CA, becoming the #1 agent in his market.

How did Tim become a category king in a mature industry like real estate? “It didn’t happen overnight, it was slow, organic growth. But I consistently built a brand. Everything was, Call Tim Rhode and Start Packing.” And that message, that Point of View, attracted not just the right kind of prospects, but prospects who reached out to him already sold on working with him.
