Submission AbstractGrowing up in a small business construction household owned by my father deeply influenced my path into real estate. Carpentry, a trade I learned early on, not only instilled a strong work ethic but also funded my education through undergraduate and graduate school. After earning my MBA, I wanted to continue my father’s legacy involving homes, and real estate sales emerged as the perfect avenue to do so. To build a solid foundation, I took a job at Conversion Monster, a small real estate technology company, where I gained hands-on experience with CRM systems, team development, technology solutions, lead generation, and coaching.
Earning an MBA has significantly shaped how I approach and operate my real estate business. It has enhanced my ability to make strategic decisions by equipping me with the tools to analyze market trends, assess risks, and develop forward-thinking plans. This is particularly valuable in identifying lucrative investment opportunities and providing my clients with data-driven insights. The financial expertise I gained through the program has been instrumental in evaluating cash flows, understanding property valuations, and leveraging financing skills that are critical in the complex world of real estate transactions. Additionally, the marketing knowledge acquired during my MBA has helped me build a strong personal brand and effectively market properties, allowing me to stand out in the competitive Western New York market. My education also sharpened my ability to streamline business operations, ensuring efficiency in processes like property acquisition and closing deals.
