Roddy de la Garza grew up in his family's brokerage in the Rio Grande Valley, went to film school to get away from it, and came back anyway. Thirty years and 800+ transactions later he leads the largest team by volume in his Southern California market at Epique Realty — with nothing spent on portal leads.
Roddy and Mattias get into the advice from his father that shaped everything ("if you chase checks, you're always going to ...
Vessi Kapoulian grew up behind the Iron Curtain, in a Bulgaria where travel was almost impossible and every apartment belonged to the government.

Randi Dukes has done over $32M in volume across 85+ transactions in the niche most agents route around — divorce listings. She got there through her own divorce nine years ago, when she realized the proceeds of a good sale are what let two households actually start over.
Randi and Mattias get into how you stay neutral when both parties want you on their side, why she refuses to source clients from court records, what separates...
