Scott Harris is the founder of Magnetic Real Estate and a Wall Street Journal Top 150 agent, with over $2 billion in New York City residential sales. Creator of the Magnetic Method, Scott has guided clients through some of the most complex deals in America’s most competitive market. In this episode, he shares his journey from warehouse shifts and music tours to building a seven-figure real estate career—and reveals what it really takes to thrive in real estate, no matter the market.

On this episode we talk about:

How growing up around family businesses built his work ethic and networking skills
The pivotal leap from music and performing to top-tier real estate success
What it actually takes to stand out (and survive) in a hyper-competitive city like NYC
Why adding value and making authentic connections lead to repeat business and powerful referrals
Building your schedule, handling time-wasters, and why agents who “go all in” thrive long-term
The truth about timing, mindset, market cycles, and why now might be the best time to jump in

Top 3 Takeaways

Most success in real estate comes from sheer volume, discipline, and relentless networking—not luck or unique ideas.
Relationship building, genuine curiosity, and giving without expectation are the real differentiators in crowded markets.
Don’t let market conditions scare you—some of the greatest fortunes are made in tough economies when others get scared off.
