What does it really take to go from broke and ready to quit to owning a multimillion-dollar real estate empire? Brandon Brittingham did just that.
Today, he’s the CEO of The Maryland and Delaware Group of Long and Foster, the bestselling author of Converting Units to Dollars and a national speaker who has built a vertically integrated real estate investment business with multiple companies, 2,000-plus doors under management, and mailbox money for hundreds of everyday investors.
Go deep with him on everything from building multiple eight-figure companies under one roof to the hard truths agents need to hear about wealth, risk and identity.
You’ll hear why he believes “agents are already investors, they’re just not getting paid like it” and how breaking through his lowest moment changed everything. Brittingham pulls zero punches in this brutally honest conversation about business, investing and the power of mindset.
This is a masterclass in scaling smart, owning your future and building something worth waking up for.
