Brett Sikora & David DeVoe: Focusing on Yourself Pays Off

Ep. 28

One of the most important things to take into account in every industry - and the real estate world makes no exception - is yourself. It’s so important to always do what you set yourself up to, and respect your time.


On today’s episode, Brett and Dave share their vast experience with real estate and what got them to where they are now. They run The DeVoe Group and The Sikora Group through eXp Realty - a virtual cloud-based brokerage that is changing the way real estate is done.


Brett Sikora launched Sikora Group in 2016, with the main goal of making sure that every client and team member is getting the white-glove service they need to make the process of buying or selling real estate as smooth as possible. He got his real estate license in 2007 and started selling real estate after he worked at a car dealership and wanted to pursue a career in sales on a bigger scale.


David DeVoe is the CEO and founder of the DeVoe Group, a company that provides the best service possible to handle the real estate needs from start to finish. Prior to being in the real estate business, he worked in the mortgage industry for 10 years.
