On this week’s episode of The Success Tax Podcast, hosts Eric Green and Tony Carter sit down with an extraordinary guest whose journey redefines what it means to pivot, persevere, and prosper.
Meet Brian Burke — a former Connecticut State Trooper turned real estate trailblazer with a remarkable story of transformation, grit, and success. From chasing criminals to chasing closings, Brian shares his deeply personal and inspiring path from law enforcement to building one of the most dynamic and successful real estate teams across Connecticut and New England.
This isn’t your typical career change tale. Brian opens up about his early struggles with academics, his unexpected academic comeback (Magna Cum Laude, no less), and the turning point that pushed him into law enforcement with aspirations of major crime investigations. But the real twist came when a side hustle in home improvements introduced him to a hidden passion—and talent—for real estate.
What began with rehabbing his own home quickly escalated into full-time real estate success, powered by a keen eye for opportunity and a marketing strategy that was years ahead of its time.
You’ll hear how Brian:
- Used digital marketing before it was trendy to dominate online real estate searches in his area
- Built a thriving referral pipeline by focusing on relationships, not just transactions
- Leveraged his police training to sharpen his people skills and intuition as a real estate advisor
- Turned a few renovation gigs into a top-performing real estate brand
- Grew and mentored a team across multiple states, instilling in them the same principles of consistency, service, and hustle that built his own success
Packed with lessons in resilience, self-reinvention, and the power of showing up every day, Brian’s journey will resonate with anyone looking to reinvent themselves or take their current path to the next level. Whether you're in law enforcement, real estate, or just exploring a new career chapter, Brian’s story will leave you fired up and ready to take action.
