Close Conciergeis designed to help real estate agents grow this business. The reality is most agents get into real estate because they’re people-people and want to be with clients & showing houses. However, once agents start to grow, they end up spending a significant amount of time on transaction coordination. That’s everything complete from contr...
Real estate has always been a huge passion of mine. My first business was actually baking cookies for realtors to have at open houses so customers could eat cookies and buy houses. I took the agent licensing course as soon as I turned 18 and my wife and I bought our first investment property at 24. Outside of real estate, my education skews heavily...
COVID has been an interesting impact for two key reasons. First, the real estate market is booming. With agents busy, it means more are interested in outsourcing non-revenue generating tasks like transaction coordination. Secondly, agents have historically been most interested in local transaction coordinators. Our model relies on remote, US-based ...
I read. No matter what, I crack a book open to learn. It doesn’t matter if I’m doing well today, if I’m not constantly learning, I’ll eventually be in trouble.

Cold Email, by far. Cold email gets a horrible rap because of the amount of unbelievable spam churned out. The reality is that good cold email software (Woodpecker, Lemlist, Reply, etc.) is incredibly cheap and easy to use. That means any 16 years old with $30 can suddenly email 50,000 people. However, if you take the time to actually have a laser ...
I strongly recommend studying people who have the life you want. Most people say to get a mentor. I think a mentor could be valuable, but it’s also only one perspective. Instead, I’d find a group of ~5 people who are living the life you want to have. Then, make sure you study and learn and figure out what they did to get to the point they’re at tod...
Get up early. It’s a cliché, but it really is true. Every extra hour you can steal and allocate to productivity before you wake up in the morning is worth 3 hours later in the day.
This is a great question! I’m going to steal this answer from Sarah Robb O’Hagan, who has been CEO of several companies, such as Equinox. She’s brilliant and I highly recommend anything she says or does! Her answer to this is to work harder than everyone in the room. For example, she used to run 5 miles every morning before work. That way, no matte...

Dec 13, 2023 · Sean O'Dowd, a 29-year-old real estate investor from suburban Chicago, is leading the charge with his innovative approach to investing in single-family homes. O'Dowd's thesis is simple but powerful: middle-class families have limited opportunities to live in areas with top-rated school districts, so they are willing to rent homes in these areas.
Oct 3, 2023 · Sean O'Dowd is a trial attorney who works for the Criminal Division's Money Laundering and Asset Recovery Section of the U.S. Department of Justice. He has been involved in various cases of money laundering, including the conspiracy to launder over $150 million to promote Russian sanctions violations by Metalhouse LLC, a company owned by a sanctioned oligarch.
Sean O’Dowd, a Chicago real-estate investor, has started a fund that plans to buy single-family homes to rent out in top-performing Midwestern school districts for upper middle class families who can’t, or don’t want to, buy million dollar houses. The plan is to rent them out to families looking for a way into million-dollar housing markets.
