This week we are delighted to be able to sit and talk with Bill Gallagher.  A Native Charlottean, who has over three decades of real estate industry experience.   After graduation in 1983 from Wake Forest, Bill went right into Real Estate as an agent, then Broker in Charge, and finally an educator.Bill describes to us a career in Real Estate is like a staircase, with steps being the basics:  hauling & hoping, driving & showing, sitting & wishing, praying & pitching and listing & selling.   He states, you can’t train unless you have been a manager or a broker in charge and you can't be a broker in charge or a manager unless you’ve actually listed and sold. Bill has been teaching since 1998 and goes on to tell us that as a teacher, you’ve got to feel the pulse in the class,  know to touch on all the learning styles, for example:  engagement, participation, entertainment and educating.  When you have these with the students, it’s a thumbs up.Bill's advice to new graduates is to ask and listen to the people around you.  Soak in the words of wisdom the people give, because, "what you receive will be a win-win situation.  In the Mooresville area, people are so helpful and friendly.  They typically will work with you, not against you."Bill explains how Real Estate schools are resilient against the down turn.  They are probably the least expensive, cost effective, low investment with courses and overhead.  He continues on to teach us what EBITDA stands for and what it means. We talk about the old HUD form vs. the BCD and SCD  and about when you start a business you need to have a plan to sell the business.  Sit back and listen to Bill tell us what he sees in his crystal ball and his Real Estate prediction down the road in the LKN area, based on the inverted yield curve that recently presented itself.  For real estate education, visit:  www.superiorschoolnc.com Hosted on Acast.
