Who’s In Charge?

From Kitchen Table Mailers to 250 Deals a Year


Listen Later

Episode Summary: In this episode, Stephanie and Zachary Betters sit down with Hunter and Andrea Jarvis of Legacy Homebuyers. Hunter and Andrea share their 10-year journey from Hunter’s early days as a "problem child" in the corporate banking world to building one of the most respected real estate investment firms in Dallas, TX. They dive deep into the "messy middle" of leaving a W2, the importance of maintaining a "delusionally" positive mindset, and why keeping a sense of humor (and a good scare prank) is the secret to a lasting partnership.
