In today’s episode of RTR, we interview Amy Dills, a RE broker/team lead in MN who has a crazy story of buying, scaling, crashing, and rebuilding a RE business. Amy explains how she sold 19 houses in her first six months after being told she couldn’t, what she learned, and how that helped her scale her wealth building. Taking advantage of Obama’s 10k rebate for home buyer’s, Amy bought a HUD house to build momentum and never looked back. She shares how that first house helped build confidence, momentum, and knowledge that served as the foundation for her career success. Amy shares how she started a brokerage and didn’t love all the admin work that came with it, realized it wasn’t best for her, and pivoted out into RE development-working on a boutique hotel. Amy shares some fantastic advice regarding obtaining mentorship and investment from those more experienced than you, what to avoid in a toxic brokerage, and the mindset that works when getting into RE. This episode is jam packed full of actionable, practical advice and holds true to the Real Talk motto of showing what goes on behind the curtains of RE. You’ll love today’s show, download today.
