The Secret to a Successful Husband-Wife Real Estate Team w/ Devon Fox
Manage episode 425898786 series 3575940
How do you run a successful real estate team with your spouse? It’s a question we get all the time. Whether you’re thinking of joining your partner in real estate or you’re starting from the ground up, working together comes with benefits (and challenges).
Just because you’re married doesn’t mean you’ll make great business partners. People make this mistake all the time. What that makes our partnership work is our opposing skill sets, and the fact that we bring different things to the table.
How did Devon end up becoming my business partner after her own corporate career? What are the key ways we balance each other out? What are the key decisions we made when we built our team?
In this episode, my wife and business partner Devon Fox joins me to talk about our business and why it works.
Real estate is a super stressful industry. If your clients are super stressed and if you feed into that, you’ll just amp them up. -Devon Fox
