Starting your own real estate company plus hiring a Rockstar sales team is not an easy feat.
However, on today’s Tom Ferry Podcast Experience, I talk with DJ DellaSala, broker and owner of Ancient City Real Estate in St. Augustine, FL.
We talk about how he decided to open the doors of opportunity to himself by starting his real estate company and immediately zooming in on the right characteristics he needed to have on this sales team.
