Season 8, Ep. 848

Continuing on her travel stories from the last episode, Symbion Property Director Joanne Hands further narrates her adventures abroad—all while she highlights key people that impacted her journey along the way—, and shares the eye-widening and nail-biting $40,000 loss she witnessed that has actually impacted the way she firmly holds on to the property route. As both a property developer and a licensed buyer's agent today, she uses her keen property knowledge in overcoming challenges, solving problems, and working out creative solutions for herself and clients.


Bitten by the property bug after running her own Pilates studio, she now shares the creative albeit risky strategies she used that yielded at least $10,000 in profit. Plus, she tells the story of how her first property accrued a 20% return in just six weeks!
