Gregory Tran - Always Be Learning
In this podcast episode, we have Gregory Tran, team leader of the Gregory Group with Keller Williams in Austin, TX. Gregory is an experienced real estate professional who has been in the industry for nine years. Before that, he was a stock trader for twelve years. Gregory's interest in real estate started when he wanted to start investing in properties. His first attempt at purchasing a property was not successful because he did not work with a motivated agent. After this experience, Gregory started attending classes at Keller Williams to learn how to build and run a successful real estate business. In the past two years, he has generated close to $2 million in GCI. One thing that Gregory is proud of is the amount of production he has achieved as a single agent while still maintaining a good work/life balance. He is almost always home by 5 pm, giving him time for his family, to travel and pursue other interests outside of work. Overall, this podcast episode provides valuable insights into how to succeed in the real estate industry and learning how to build and run a successful business.
