63: Chris Orth: Succeeding in Real Estate With Cystic Fibrosis

If you work hard, you will make money! This is how Chris Orth has marched his way into the REALTOR® Magazine 2014 class of 30 Under 30.

Last year after while being hospitalized (for nearly 4 weeks) Chris sold 2 of his 26 houses. Now planning to move to a new area and start fresh, learn how Chris plans to pick up in the new market where he left off in Philly!

Real Estate AH-HA Moment

  • Being the office computer nerd came with its benefits and downfalls. While removing a virus from a fellow agents computer, Josh was given the advice to pack his bags and run. The man told him that without a sphere of influence, and a wad of cash in his pockets, Josh was wasting his time and effort. Taking this to heart, with tears in his eyes, Josh set off for the car and planned to pack it up until that AH-HA moment. “Who is that guy to tell me if I will be successful or not” Josh said to himself over and over again until he built up the confidence to march into the office, and cold call until success.

Current Business

  • At age 25 Josh is killing it! He has decided to commit to “under promising and over delivering” and because of this, last year was forced to turn down 100 listings so that he could maintain his 85% conversion rate on the listings he did take.
