In this high-octane rebroadcast, Chris sits down with Sammy Destefano, a Scottsdale-based agent who went from selling BMWs to dominating the Arizona real estate market — all by outworking the average agent with 4+ hours a day of phone prospecting.
Sammy breaks down how he leveraged expired listings, embraced early mornings, and leaned into coaching to fast-track his success — selling 30 homes in his first year and never looking back. If you’re stuck in mediocrity, this episode will show you exactly what it takes to level up.
🔑 Key Takeaways:
- Why proactive agents win (and most others fail)
- How Sammy turned cold calls into million-dollar clients
- The daily 4 AM routine that keeps him focused and sharp
- His method for dominating expired and canceled listings
- Why he invests thousands each month into coaching — and how it pays off
- The importance of specializing in a niche instead of chasing every deal
- A powerful mindset shift: stop selling yourself, start selling the solution
