Carl Gambino is a hustler and a boss, but ontrary to popular belief, he is not the grandson of one of New York's most infamous crime bosses Carlo Gambino. Actually, Carl grew up in New York and New Jersey in a modest middle class home and cut his teeth in sales at 19 years old by making hundreds of cold calls in boiler rooms across New York. Facing constant rejection and working the phones all day long was an incredible training ground for the world of high end real estate he was about to enter in the years to come. It was not a straight line to real estate stardom for Carl. After a few years of hard core sales jobs in NYC a fortuitous lifestyle change brought him out West to explore opportunities in the entertainment industry. Los Angeles was not an easy transition and finding a career in Hollywood was illusive to say the least. Something had to change, and it did. A friend who was a real estate developer made an introduction to Kurt Rappaport, the most successful real estate agent on planet, and everything changed. Carl brought his insatiable ambition and 24-7 work ethic and absorbed everything he could working with Kurt and Stephen Shapiro, the founders of Westside Estate Agency. He became obsessed with leaning everything he could about high end real estate and was lucky enough to have a few huge big breaks representing young pop stars which created massive PR momentum. He parlayed this into a client book of young Hollywood elites and business managers and never looked back. As his business exploded he left WEA and partnered with Compass to build his own team which now operates in Los Angeles, New York, New Jersey and Miami with over $2 billion in sales. In this episode you will understand his rapid rise to the top. School is in session. If you love real estate as much as we do please subscribe and leave us a comment on Apple Podcast and Youtube!

Carrie McCormick has been crushing it in the windy city of Chicago for over 20 years selling over $2B of real estate in the City core. Born and raised in Chicago, some would say her route into residential real estate was kismet. One fateful afternoon sitting at her desk at eTrade she decided to leave and take a walk. Her long walk ended as she wandered onto the site of a new building under construction and accidentally met the developer. The developer was impressed by Carrie's insights and straight forward opinions about his project and soon after he offered her a job. Carrie quit her corporate job and jumped headfirst into New Development sales and the rest is history! In this episode she shares her approach "100% Carrie" which is the antithesis of the big team model where the team lead is often out of the picture once the listing is signed. Carrie walks through the roles of her key team members and explains how she is able to be hands on with every client. School is in session.

Nicholas Brown grew up in the UK and moved to Atlanta about 20 years ago. He started his residential business from scratch in 2009 at the bottom of the great recession. For the first five years, he worked 7 days a week grinding to establish himself in a an ultra competitive market. As his business evolved over the course of 10 years, he started build out the Atlanta&Brown team, created a new development division, luxury division and a resale division where agents on his team focus on a niche. As the new development division exploded, Nicholas was stretched thin and had to learn to delegate and give up a healthy piece of his revenue in order to scale. Giving up pieces of commissions to other agents allowed him to Invest in deals and develop his own condo and town-home projects while still overseeing the Atlanta&Brown team. Another awesome conversation with one of Atlanta's best agents. School is in session!

Sam Kraemer is one of the greatest legal minds and thought leaders in the residential real estate industry. He is currently the head of legal for Compass in California and has held similar positions at John Aaroe & Associates, Prudential California Realty and Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices. I have been fortunate in my career to have had Sam as my in-house general counsel for 20 out of the 23 years I have been in the brokerage business. He has educated me to think like an attorney and that has kept me and my clients out of trouble. The nuances in this business are limitless and Sam has a magical way of articulating complex, nuanced situations in lay-mans terms. At the end of the day he is a relentless advocate for his agents and the clients they serve on a daily basis which is an overwhelming task in the litigious state of California!
