About the Episode

On this episode, I’m joined by real estate entrepreneur, speaker, coach, trainer, and Ylopo Realtor in Residence, Barry Jenkins. With a career that has spanned over 2 decades, and the unique setup of running two teams at the same time, Barry brings a ton of experience to the table. His real estate knowledge led him to become a consultant at Ylopo, and now he has a high-level role. 

 

There’s a lot of outside influences coming into the real estate space, and it has been great for our industry to get refreshed by disruptors. But at the same time, these tech disruptors coming into our industry, also need a real estate agent’s insider knowledge

to bridge the gap between tech and real estate. This is the space Barry has stepped into by partnering with Ylopo. 

 

Barry began his career at the age of 18 and has spanned two decades. He currently runs two teams in Virginia Beach, Va. and his teams consistently produce over 200-250 a year for several years in a row. This is with Barry in the office part-time. He is also an executive with Ylopo as the Realtor in Residence where he also trains their users. His passion is Wife, two children, and their little dog. His systems allow him to leverage technology so he can spend time with them.

 

No matter how much the real estate industry changes, there’ll always be massive opportunities for the agents and companies who come from a place of contribution, and keep our fingers on the pulse of consumer needs. What the consumer needs now more than ever are agents who can start talking to them earlier in the buying process, especially when there are so many options and it can be hard for them to know what to do. If we provide this guidance, we’ll always be relevant. 

In Today’s Episode, We Talk About;

 

01:05 - What got Barry interested in real estate, and how he went from selling shoes to real estate. 

- How he runs two real estate teams at the same time. 

- Why Barry wanted a tech-driven team. 

- What it takes to achieve success in real estate. 

- Barry’s role as Realtor in residence at Ylopo.
