Frank Montro, the King of Chicagoland, returns to share how he and his real estate team have remained top producers during recent years of high interest rates and prices.
Frank explains how he coaches buyers to understand monthly payments as opposed to being scared off by rates and pricing. He discusses the keys to getting off the ground as a new broker and/or investor including tips on networking and cold calling. Frank gives brutally honest advice on the work ethic required to succeed and warns “order-taking” agents of the challenges they will face in this market.
