Licensed in 2007, Straight Into the Crash | Jason Ostrowsky

<p>Jason Ostrowsky got his real estate license in 2007. The market fell apart the following year.</p><p>He stayed in anyway, and twenty years later he is Team Leader of his own luxury team outside Philadelphia. What kept him alive early was an exclusive on a new construction project he sat three or four days a week, back when one in every four sales at his company was a short sale. What keeps him relevant now is different. He says the single thing agents should be working on is getting found in AI search, which means making every bio you own say the same thing and getting onto sites like HomeLight and FastExpert so there is something for AI to find.</p><p>Real Estate Riches Podcast is a real estate coaching podcast for agents at every stage. Kathy Byrnes hosts it because the best success stories come from agents who keep learning after the market has already tried to run them off. An eXp Realty mentor and Certified Global Marketing Agent, she arrived in North Carolina from Michigan in 2005 dead broke, got licensed in 2006, and spent a stretch riding in her buyers&#39; cars because she had no gas money for her own. She is 76. She was 56 when she started.</p><p><strong>Hosted by:</strong> Kathy Byrnes</p><p><strong>Guest:</strong> Jason Ostrowsky</p><p><strong>Jason Ostrowsky</strong> is a Montgomery County real estate advisor and Team Leader of The Jason Ostrowsky Team at Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Fox &amp; Roach.
