Two weeks into living in Cape Town and owning a business that isn’t even set up yet, I chat through some of the lessons I’ve learned and how I’ve shifted my sense of self from what had gripped me in the past

In this episode, I share a funny yet eye-opening experience with an owner that made me realize how critical problem-solving is in real estate. Many agents overlook this skill, but the best brokers know how to navigate challenges, handle objections, and keep deals moving forward. I also discuss the importance of focusing on the "closest to close" clients and how stripping the job down to its basics can make all the difference.As always, if you enjoyed this episode, please rate and review the show and share it with your friends.
