In real estate, agents wear many hats. We’re marketers, advisors, entrepreneurs, and salespeople, but one important role we tend to overlook is community builders. We’re in a unique position to influence and inspire people, using homeownership to close the wealth gap.

It’s easy to focus on what real estate can do for us, but we can’t lose sight of what it does for our communities. Through real estate ownership, many people have been able to change the trajectory of their lives and step into financial freedom. That’s why a real estate transaction has so much emotion attached to it. The more people we help achieve this dream, the better our communities will be. How do we impact and inspire the communities we serve? How do we leave a legacy that won’t ruin our children?

In this episode, I’m joined by Baton Rouge real estate agent, investor, philanthropist, and founder of Prime Properties, Richard Spears. He shares how one transaction changed his perspective on real estate and how he uses that experience to make a bigger impact.

 

One of the greatest things about this country is how we can use real estate as a vehicle to build wealth. -Richard Spears
