I started investing in real estate in 2003. Back then I
owned a window covering company, and realtors were my
favorite referral partners. They sent me business, I sent
them business, and I learned early that a good network
beats a good ad every time.
I bought and sold property for two decades without a
license. I paid someone a commission on every one of those
deals and never once thought about it.
I didn't come to Epique as an agent. I came as an
influencer, running the Facebook group,
the newsletter, the virtual coffees, the community side of things. I
joined because I liked what they were building.
Then I kept watching agents get things I couldn't.
Commission on their own transactions. Equity in the
company. Benefits I was paying for out of pocket.
So I got licensed. Not because I wanted to sell houses,
but because I'd spent twenty years leaving money on
the table and finally did the arithmetic.
That's why this site exists. If you're investing
without a license, I've been you. If you're an
agent wondering whether the model you're in is the
best one available, I ran that comparison on myself before
I ever ran it for anyone else.
