- 1:51I was in it uh
- 1:53I was a software quality engineer for last 13 years
- 2:00and because of some industry
- 2:06some some events happened in my company in August
- 2:09I got laid off and just before that
- 2:13I had some downtime in my work
- 2:16because of the things happened
- 2:18so I took my license just before that
- 2:22and you know
- 2:23because I bought my house last year and after that I
- 2:27I found it you know it
- 2:29I can probably help people like me um
- 2:32to take the same journey because I had um
- 2:35waited a long time and nobody really give
- 2:39gave me um
- 2:41understanding or um
- 2:43to help me take the step
- 2:45all these years while I was renting
- 2:47so I thought I can probably help people like me
- 2:50so I I
- 2:51so I with that in mind
- 2:52I took my real estate license while I was at work
- 2:55and then uh
- 2:56I just didn't join the you know
- 2:59didn't get my resignation then in uh September
- 3:03uh right after I got my uh

- 3:07thing I have uh
- 3:08in my hand and um also um
- 3:12to just give you the you know

- 5:38so immediate kind of action
- 5:41but talk to me a little bit about what clicked
- 5:45and you're like okay
- 5:45this is where I have to go because you
- 5:47you mentioned your faith and um
- 5:50you know
- 5:51I know that you were heavily involved in the church
- 5:53in the group and I know where
- 5:54you know
- 5:54how you kind of went in there with the heart to serve
- 5:57right and tell us a little bit about that first
- 6:00first client and that first interaction
- 6:02and where you got the you know
- 6:04courage to go in there to serve as well and
- 6:08you know connect with these people that
- 6:09your first clients that closed here right before the uh
- 6:12start of the year yes
- 6:14so uh
- 6:15so right after that you know
- 6:16I um
- 6:18you know for me
- 6:19it was uh
- 6:20me I was like my Avatar or like
- 6:22you know the ideal people
- 6:23I was I was looking for the help
- 6:26so there we had couple of families in our church
- 6:29so before I'll tell that my life goal
- 6:34actually before even coming to real estate at all
- 6:37you know
- 6:38while I was in it and all is to two things is 1
- 6:42help people um
- 6:44get healthy and second must help them get wealthy
- 6:48yeah you know
- 6:49and my you know
- 6:50spiritual goal and you know
- 6:52my like when I got
- 6:53when I came to the Lord you know
- 6:56what I what I thought he was wanted me to do is to help
- 7:00uh people get out
- 7:01you know like um
- 7:03um get
- 7:05get out of the you know the
- 7:07the the slavery or what I what I'm saying
- 7:09what I'm meaning is like you know
- 7:11just living a life to um with no
- 7:16no impact and and just living life to pay the bills
- 7:20and just going through life and ending um
- 7:24and so I wanted to help people you know
- 7:27first thing to you know
- 7:28come to the Lord and then trained him to be you know
- 7:31he gave us an amazing body to take care of that
- 7:34and then he also gave us all these promises
- 7:37that we can believe and we can excel and be
- 7:41we excellent in our life and so I had that two goals
- 7:45and when I looked the real estate after this
- 7:48you know in
- 7:48you know event in my life
- 7:49because I never took that step until I got laid off and
- 7:54um so when
- 7:56when
- 7:57when I when I got my license and when I moved in here
- 8:00I was like okay who can I help
- 8:01and my church is my my family and so I
- 8:06I I went out there and the as I said
- 8:08the trainings so the shift is I was a I t guy
- 8:12then putting a real estate hat
- 8:14I started looking in you know
- 8:16going to the trainings that they are offer
- 8:18and every day they have trainings
- 8:20like certain two train
- 8:21some days two train two two trainings some things
- 8:23you know start with the day with that and it sets you
- 8:27sets your mindset
- 8:28and when you get out and talk to people
- 8:31your confidence
- 8:32because you listen and you learn and you have
- 8:35even though you didn't do any did any of that stuff
- 8:38you are you think like that
- 8:41and that helped me
- 8:42when I went into my friends and family and told them
- 8:46you know I'm a realtor now
- 8:48I was like well
- 8:48you're a realtor now okay
- 8:49well and then they also listen to me
- 8:53and when are they listening to me
- 8:53they have the conference to kinda trust me with
- 8:56you know
- 8:57so they came to me and I think that's the key part
- 9:00you know when when we walk in and believing that
- 9:03you know who we are
- 9:05and what we are trying to accomplish
- 9:07and our mission is we believe in all those stuff
- 9:10then people automatically get attracted to us and it's
- 9:14it's that connection yeah
- 9:16the law of attraction is huge
- 9:17and you know knowing a little bit more about that story
- 9:21and having other people from the church say hey
- 9:25Joseph is doing this he's he wants to
- 9:27you know or he can help you right
- 9:29and it's not like you walked in the doors were like
- 9:31I got my real estate license
- 9:33who wants to buy or sell right
- 9:35the I mean
- 9:36I think that's awesome you want
- 9:37you know you had a drive
- 9:39you had a vision you had
- 9:41you know the Lord speaking to you
- 9:43whatever it was that said
- 9:45I want to help people get healthy and get wealthy right
- 9:48and you walking into the church just being like
- 9:51who wants to buy a house who wants to sell a house
- 9:54that's just helping you get wealthy right
- 9:56but yeah yeah
- 9:57knowing the story and how
- 9:59you know
- 9:59you were connected from another member of the church
- 10:02and then it was like okay
- 10:04what's your situation going directly to the new build
- 10:08yes community right yeah
- 10:11right and
- 10:12and basically laid out something that this person
- 10:16didn't really think was you know
- 10:18possible right away and being like look
- 10:21I have a solution for you with this new build
- 10:23with these incentives like
- 10:24you're pulling things from a bunch of different places
- 10:27and you know
- 10:27I'm sure that on one of the Wolf Pack calls
- 10:30that you reference someone was like
- 10:31new builds have you know
- 10:33lender incentives and all this stuff
- 10:35and new builds historically
- 10:37need to sell all of their homes
- 10:39by the end of the quarter
- 10:40and so you leveraged all of this
- 10:42and you put it together
- 10:44and now there's somebody in a home right
- 10:46and they're they're housewarming is this Saturday okay
- 10:50perfect you better be going there and
- 10:51but bringing some good treats Joseph
- 10:53that's the next step in the in the course
- 10:55but yeah that's that's absolutely amazing
- 10:58and and to see how you've done that
- 11:00and then kind of tell us what else you have going on
- 11:02so you have you know another buyer under contract
- 11:05another active you know
- 11:06person looking and how are you approaching those
- 11:08with all of these referral relationships that
- 11:11all of a sudden have have propped up all of a sudden
- 11:14so I take it as I said I
- 11:16I take it every day uh
- 11:18day by day and
- 11:19you know I do um
- 11:20I I
- 11:21I I try to do the
- 11:23everything like others who went before me tell me to do
- 11:26and also I look my confidence come from the fact that
- 11:30you know um
- 11:31Lord is with me and you know
- 11:33he he has put me in this
- 11:35and he has also connected with this amazing
- 11:37group of people and I see all that
- 11:40all that as a resource and
- 11:42and take every day as it comes
- 11:44and I don't
- 11:45I don't know everything and I have a lot to learn
- 11:48but I uh
- 11:50I trust the Lord I trust the system
- 11:53uh that I'm in
- 11:54and be faithful in learning and take one step at a day
- 11:58right um
- 12:00that's that's amazing
- 12:02I mean the humility and
- 12:04you know just the humble approach that you have
- 12:06and the heart to serve and
- 12:07you know I've had conversations with you
- 12:09as you've moved through this process
- 12:10and to see where you were
- 12:12from the time we hopped on that orientation call to
- 12:15you know being overwhelmed with all of the resources
- 12:18and all of the things
- 12:20but the difference between you and those agents that
- 12:23that do not you know
- 12:25start is you took immediate action right
- 12:30you didn't focus on all the bells and whistles
- 12:32you have AI training and CRM training
- 12:34and social media training and all the things
- 12:36and right
- 12:37before we're getting ready to go live on this call
- 12:40you mentioned like I don't have my social media set up
- 12:43you took one piece of the puzzle and you said
- 12:46I need to implement right
- 12:48I have to provide for my family
- 12:49I have to serve and I'm
- 12:51I'm here to help people get wealthy and healthy right
- 12:54and so so that's what you did
- 12:56not to say that you won't set those things up
- 12:58on the back end or the technology yeah
- 13:01but a lot of people in your position
- 13:04would dive into the tech right
- 13:07get all the tech set up
- 13:08get the CRM 100% set up the website
- 13:10the the this
- 13:12the that the YouTube
- 13:13the Instagram
- 13:14so tell me a little bit about that approach and
- 13:17and why that was something that you
- 13:20you were like okay
- 13:21I can take my past life as an it specialist
- 13:25and I can
- 13:26align with people who are technologically savvy
- 13:29but why was there no
- 13:31why did you just go straight to implementation
- 13:34well I'll tell you to be honestly
- 13:36you know initially I was thinking about
- 13:38you know all this technology right
- 13:40but then um
- 13:42I was one day I was talking to
- 13:44I think in the beginning days
- 13:45one day I was talking to Adam

- 16:21I don't want to see any house
- 16:22let's go and wow
- 16:25not only
- 16:27not only did he close a deal
- 16:29you know less than
- 16:30you know 60 days after he joined the Wolf Pack
- 16:33but he also only showed 1 house
- 16:36only showed 1 house on that first one
- 16:37but second second one I showed 5 house
- 16:39but okay first house
- 16:40they all liked it but I forced them to see 5 houses
- 16:43because I thought it did you know
- 16:45I anyway
- 16:45spend time looking and figuring out what they need
- 16:48and so I put that effort I said like hey
- 16:50you need to see the five houses before you make it
- 16:52absolutely so you don't want to push them that quickly
- 16:55that's I get that but that's that's really cool
- 16:58and it's a testament to your preparation your focus
- 17:02right you
- 17:03you were you know
- 17:05driven towards you know
- 17:07getting that education from that new build
- 17:10and you know
- 17:11the Lord works in mysterious ways connected you to that
- 17:14you have the knowledge this is the one

- 17:24you know all my courses for a for a real estate
- 17:27you know train
- 17:28you know the ethics course and everything I I completed
- 17:31you know because
- 17:32you know

- 17:36you have enough for all that basically
- 17:38I was in you know
- 17:40whenever I'm not outside talking to people
- 17:41I was you know
- 17:43doing the trainings yep
- 17:45absolutely and uh
- 17:46Lord will you know
- 17:48he he he he you know
- 17:51you believe and you know you put your faith
- 17:53you know it's like faith without work is dead right

- 17:59you know that deal to come in
- 18:02I believe actually
- 18:02I believe for one deal to close in December and seven
- 18:06you know people
- 18:07and I actually have had one closed
- 18:09and six people in my pipeline by
- 18:13before the December so you can believe for that and
- 18:17you know
