Matt Chick

When Matt got into real estate in 2017, he set out on a mission to find a top team that he could join to get the information that he needs to be a successful agent. The truth is he was much underwhelmed with the teams and what they offered.

Most teams focused on what Matt could do for them rather than how they could help him change his life. See, Matt was coming from a general manager role in the car business where he was managing 4 dealerships and 55 employees at any given time making decent money.

Matt got into real estate because his wife was putting a ton of pressure on him because he was not around enough. They had two boys at the time named Braden and Maddox and their third child Braylin was on the way. She had made a statement to Matt that changed his life and that was “I have raised two kids without you and don’t want to do it with a third.”

Jeremy Fuhst

His passion: People. Jeremy may sling real estate daily but the true intent is to connect with people. Whether its helping and pushing his teammates to achieve the goals they set or coaching other agents he is 100% on board.

In 2020, Jeremy 4x his business leveraging social media in ways most don’t. He’ll end the year with 15m in sales using organic ways to reach clients and gain referrals. Without spending a dime on advertising.

In 2021, his goal is to help 100 other agents do the same thing he was able to accomplish.
