Listen "#065 - Inside the Process of a $150M+ Real Estate Career"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of the Get Keen podcast, host Dan Lee sits down with Edward Pack, the number one agent at Bayleys International New Zealand, to unpack his journey from starting over at 30—with zero listings and just 50 people in his database—to becoming the top performer in a network of 1,000+ agents. Edward opens up about the mindset shift that changed everything: going all-in, ditching Plan B, finding a market that aligned with his values, and nurturing a highly curated group of 250 quality contacts. He breaks down his unique prospecting strategy, how emotional endurance plays a vital role in a commission-based industry, and why appreciating the small wins leads to massive results. If you're an agent stuck in a rut or wondering whether you need a massive database to succeed, this conversation is packed with insights and proof that deep connections and consistent behavior are more powerful than scattergun marketing.Are you a high performing agent ready to break out and build your own agency?
