The RJ Ledesma Podcast

On the RJ Ledesma Podcast, I sat down with real estate sales superstar Marc Godornes of Filipino Homes—a top-performing agent who proves that real success in real estate isn’t built on luck, hype, or viral moments, but on discipline and a repeatable system. Marc shares how he transitioned from doing the hard, unglamorous work of prospecting and learning the business to building a process that consistently attracts clients and converts trust into long-term relationships.What stood out in our conversation was Marc’s belief that the real win doesn’t end at the sale. He talks about the power of after-sales care, referrals, and showing up professionally long after the commission check—habits that helped him grow not just his income, but his reputation. His journey is a powerful reminder that sustainable success comes from mastering the fundamentals and committing to daily excellence.Catch the full episode on the RJ Ledesma Podcast.
