Hey, real estate rock stars. It is Christina Leavenworth, and you are in for a treat today. We are

talking to William Holder. He is a team leader out of Pennsylvania, and he started back in 2015,

and quickly was just a success selling 50 homes a year, started a team, but was like, hey, this model

isn't working, figured out a whole new model,

definitely a back to the basics type of guy showing you that really you could be successful

in real estate in any way if you put your mind to it. So you guys are going to love this interview. Okay, William Holder, how are you doing today?

I'm great. How are you? Doing very, very good. We're excited to have you here on real

estate rock stars. We typically like to just have people tell us a little bit about who they are,

where they're from. So go for it. Awesome. Well, I said my name's William Holder. I run the

William Holder Realty team. We're part of Real of Pennsylvania. I have been a team leader for about five years now

and I've been a full-time agent for 10 total who I grew up in the Caribbean. I grew up in a country

called Trinidad moved here in 2002 when I was 15 years old and didn't really have a couple of

years before graduated high school. didn't really have a direction

or really any idea of what I was going to do with my life. And like everyone can stumble through

a bunch of jobs, always worked a lot of jobs, just never knew which one I wanted. Got into banking in

2007, which is probably one of the worst times to get into banking.

Saw that financial crisis happen, saw the mortgage industry tank, saw people lose a lot of their retirement.

It was pretty depressing time.

And I just learned that I really couldn't do this forever.

You know, there was a limit to what I could do in the banking world.

And around 2011, I bought my first house and I loved the process.

I mean, our agent was one of our good friends.
