Steven self-identifies as the "worst person" to go into the real estate business, at least as judged by conventional wisdom: His pace is steady and relaxed. He doesn’t work nights or weekends. He doesn’t do open houses. He’s only available on a Sunday if there’s an emergency. You can’t find him online.

In short: Steven sets boundaries.

Yet he’s persisted by becoming an expert at door-knocking: taking difficult action over time, and connecting with people on a human level that brings in sustainable long-term business.

Join Dan and Steven as they discuss: 

‣ Steven’s wildest door-knocking stories

‣ The short-term “invisible” success that prospecting can bring you

‣  How Steven works less than 20 hours a week, makes it to every baseball game and dance practice… and does $10M in volume a year

…and more!
