Notable Quotes:

• "It was just easy to beat people out. I just sit at open houses, make calls and when I'd meet them, they thought I was maybe better than I was, but I didn't say anything that would have, it wasn't any lying."

• "I wanted to have all those nice things as an adult. My parents aren't just handing out free money as an adult type stuff, so I feel like, you know, growing up in that, for some people, their parents spoil them for an extended period of time into their adult life. And for me, that was kind of where I think they did a great job on saying like, no, like, we have these great things because of hard work."

• "Communication is, by far the biggest thing that people lack on...It's asking these questions, asking that realtor, you know, as much as we possibly can and as much as we can squeeze out of them to make our buyer in the best position."
