Brandon is a real estate investor in the south Florida market. Purchasing his first property in 2014 kickstarted his passion and allowed him to start investing full time in 2018. While he started in the single-family sector flipping houses, he recently fell into a multi-family deal and realized the great potential of commercial property and has accumulated 50 doors within a year. Whether it's beached up on an island or 50 miles offshore, getting out on the water is a must to decompress from the life of a real estate investor.

Whether you are a loan officer or a real estate agent in need of guidance and direction, wouldn’t you agree that both are crucial?!

Best-Selling Author of Millionaire Loan Officer and Agent Mastermind, Scott is on a mission to help as many real estate agents and loan officers go from having a job to having a business as he possibly can.

From the beginning, Scott has operated around his philosophy that “Helping people to realize they are worthy of so much more, staying focused on what really matters and helping them to achieve their short and long-term goals, dreams and desires is the only reward needed in life.”

As a longtime mentor of agents and loan officers, Scotty recognized a need to bring real estate pros from the U.S. and Canada together for healthy collaboration and growth. That’s what inspired him to launch AgentMastermind.com which has now served more than 42K agents and LO’s.

Of course, there’s no reason you can’t go it alone if you’re satisfied with the same old results. But as the saying goes, if you want to see change, you can’t repeat the same actions and expect new or improved results.

If you’re tired of working non-stop, fearing vacations, struggling to rise into the next income bracket, or feeling overwhelmed and disorganized, Scott will feel like the answer to your prayers.

Just imagine what it would be like if you could take Fridays off…

How much happier would you be if you could take more vacations and actually unplug?

If you’re truly ready to graduate from working in real estate to having a business in real estate, you owe it to yourself to join this video chat with Scotty

Tom Krol, the nation's most successful wholesaling trainer, is coming to speak LIVE at REI LIVE Sarasota. This is an opportunity you cannot afford to miss.

After getting fired from his job, being forced into bankruptcy, and almost losing everything, Tom had hit rock bottom.

He was without a job, frightened and dead busted broke. With no real estate experience whatsoever, Tom jumped into Real Estate and quickly found explosive success. In his first 18 months of Real Estate, Tom successfully closed over 100 Real Estate transactions!

Today, Tom is an INC 5000 Founder of WI Publishing and founder of Coaching is Easy, his new company which teaches aspiring coaches how to build a 7-Figure coaching business, and is widely considered one of the most successful coaches in the country.

Before his meteoric rise to success, Tom was trapped in a dead-end job that he absolutely hated. After achieving massive success quickly, Tom fell in love with Real Estate and started helping others generate income by investing in Real Estate too.

Having coached and mentored thousands of students across the country, many of them who have gone on to build 7-Figure coaching businesses of their own, Tom quickly became recognized as one of the most successful mentors in the industry.

Tom's style of "instruction over education" will help you get started in real estate with simple and clear, step-by-step instruction.

Here is what Tom will be sharing with you!
The Secret to becoming wealthy by helping others.
Why Coaching is one of the most lucrative businesses in any industry.
How to build a “Lifestyle Business” that requires 10 hours (or less) of actual work per week!
How to achieve more influence and authority in your industry, and how to be seen as a celebrity.
Why building a One-to-Many model is critical for success as a coach…and why so many people get this wrong!
How to build a 7-Figure business with minimal staff and one that you can operate from anywhere in the world!
How to turn YOUR gifts, talents, and abilities into a product or program that people desperately want!
