🏠 From Semi-Truck Driver to $15M in Real Estate Sales in Just One Year
Meet Kevin Marquez – a 23-year-old Cuban immigrant who came to Houston 3 years ago with nothing but a dream.

In August 2024, he got his real estate license.
Fast forward 12 months: 75+ transactions closed. $15M+ in sales. 5 team members.

Most 20-year veterans don't hit these numbers. So what's his secret?
✅ Homemade Facebook/Instagram ads that convert
✅ 100% focus on the Hispanic community
✅ Deep knowledge of financing (he pre-qualifies clients himself)
✅ Specializes in new builds with builder incentives
✅ Building rapport and trust with every interaction

Kevin doesn't just sell houses – he understands his clients' journey because he lived it.
In this episode, he breaks down:
📍 Exactly how he generates leads with FB ads (and why "professional" videos don't work)
📍 The questions he asks EVERY client before showing a property
📍 Why 80% of his business is new construction
📍 How he built a team that lets him close multiple deals simultaneously

This is what's possible when you find your niche, master your craft, and go all in.
