Matthew De Fede: Using Creativity in the Real Estate World
In the real estate field, 87% of agents will fail to thrive. But why is that?
We have discussed in previous episodes about the lack of proper teaching and the hardships and benefits of being in this industry, but in today’s episode, Matt comes with a fresh perspective on this subject. His experience in the creative world has allowed him to create a different way of marketing the real estate business and he shares great and useful content for all the agents and home buyers/sellers out there.
