I acquired the license to the Sunbelt Business Brokers of New Orleans Franchise when it was losing money and after it had been through a series of owners. The team I put together turned it around in under 9 months. We increased sales of the brokerage by 464%, listings by 63%, and increased staff from 3 to 7 agents in the first year. As a broker, I created custom advertising campaigns generating 2-4x the normal sales leads received by fellow brokers with no additional costs incurred. These campaigns generated leads for deals as large as 90 million (600x avg industry size). Self-generated over $10 million in offers in the first 3 months. The license agreement was terminated in May 2020.

I advanced the business from concept to $2.5 million/year in sales within 3 years. I grew the business to be the #1 wholesale customer for the largest distributor in the industry. I created streamlined business processes that new hires were able to learn and execute in under 2 days. I maintained a customer satisfaction rating of 99.7% for 3+ years.
