What does it take to be a Real Estate Rockstar? Join us as Patrick shares his realtor mindset and a glance at his journey to becoming a Real Estate Rockstar.

Before getting into Real Estate, and being the #1 Re/Max team in Florida, Patrick would sit on the edge and pray “God Help Me, Gold Help Me”. Then, Patrick Stracuzzi, The Godfather of Real Estate, was hit by a Mack truck when a car ran a red light. After suffering a lot, Patrick was looking for another way to provide for his family, and Real Estate found him. What started off as door knocking with his kids has turned into an empire in Stuart, Florida. It gets even better, as Patrick shares how a multi-million dollar development deal going belly up proved to be a blessing in disguise. With the strength to love everyone, this interview with Patrick will change not only your Real Estate business, but also your life!
