The Viking Professor: Patrick Hunter’s Unconventional Path to Real Estate Purpose

In this episode, Bruce Bean welcomes Patrick Hunter—aka "The Viking Professor"—a real estate broker, educator, and lifelong learner with over four decades of experience. From tearing apart radios as a kid to mastering the art of real estate coaching, Patrick shares his unique journey and what drives his passion for helping others succeed.

Patrick opens up about his unconventional path, beginning with a love for learning and a disdain for traditional education. He explains how curiosity led him from engineering curiosities to people—and eventually to real estate, where he discovered that nearly everyone with wealth seemed to have some connection to property.

Throughout the conversation, Patrick offers a no-nonsense guide to thriving in real estate. He covers:

• The #1 mistake new agents make

• Why knowing your inventory is a game-changer

• The true meaning of “helping, not selling”

• How coaching and self-awareness can transform your career

• His coaching model and how agents can partner with him to close deals and learn fast
