One License, Five Hustles: How I Made Real Estate Pay in Every Way

A real estate license isn’t just for selling homes. It’s a whole launchpad…if you know how to use it right. 

If you’re a great agent, you’re doing way more than unlocking doors and writing offers. 

You’ve got skills that can help you stand out and stack your income.

In today’s market, the old playbook won’t cut it. 

Inventory is tight, interest rates are still high, and the NAR settlement changed the game. Agents who stick to business-as-usual are getting left behind. 

It’s not just about closing deals anymore. It’s about thinking bigger, leveraging your skill set, embracing tech tools like AI, and getting creative with things like expired listings and renovation loans. 

Everyone’s got access to the MLS… but what you do with it? 

In this episode, I’m breaking down exactly how I turned one real estate license into a six-figure, multi-stream business.

You’ll hear how top producers are using AI to revive expired listings, bring real value to sellers, and guide buyers with smart financing options like the 203K loan. 

With limited inventory and high interest rates, we have to think creatively to get people off the bench. -Marki Lemons Ryhal
