Seth's Q&A

What are the things you enjoy most about the brokerage business?

  • It’s a marathon and a sprint every day.
  • Having complete autonomy of your daily tasks, earnings, and personal life balance is very unique.
  • You can learn something new every day just by picking up the phone.

01

What is something most people don’t know about being a broker?

When you’re up all night worrying about a deal and wake up with a smile on your face you know you’ve made it over the hump.

02

What are some activities you wish you did more of?

Scuba diving and backpacking – basically any outdoor activity with people I love where there is no cell phone service.
