00:13:48.440oh man yeah great job realtor is always like and my dad is a realtor real estate agent yeah and by
00:13:56.500the way in 2008 uh ohio yeah okay 2008 is when you said that was your first day on yeah in september
00:14:02.660okay that's when my dad's life ended yeah because he was a uh a realtor of i think uh 20 years and
00:14:08.560he had invested so much money in all of it and uh everything tanked the the market crashed and
00:14:14.200And as like a kid who was eating, you know, like steaks for dinner every other night, like we had to move to Hamburger Helper because we had no money anymore.
00:22:35.820is helpful hold yes right like why would you sell after the market drop the bottom drops out of the
00:22:42.000market right like if you're holding buy buy yeah you can buy so i always have some cash on the
00:22:46.300sidelines the reason i brought it back up is i think that's a good question that spencer asked
00:22:49.800for kids watching us or people who have investments when the floor drops out and the
00:22:53.480tariffs from china fuck us or whatever happens when people freak out that's when you spend money
00:22:57.900start buying yeah like right now like the market's weird now in new york everywhere the market's soft
00:23:02.740people are freaking out. Now is a good time to buy. Now for the next 24 months is a good time
00:23:08.320to go out there and get a good deal for sure. In real estate? Yes. Yeah. Well, kind of in
00:23:13.000anything. I mean, people, it's a good buyer's market no matter what you're looking for.
00:23:15.740You don't see a bigger turndown coming? Not really. I mean, in New York, we've had one
00:23:21.240since 2015. So it's been a turndown that I think the rest of the country is about to feel. So if
00:23:25.500anything, looking around the rest of the country to get into real estate, I kind of think now is
00:23:29.760a good time turn down for what bro your reality show yeah your reality star is that why you have
00:23:34.740a million followers on instagram that's not that's not easy to do yeah probably yeah three million
00:23:38.860dollar listing sort of three million dollar listing and through youtube and through everything you
00:23:42.940know i have a baby now i have a wife that people like way more than me family channel perfect you
00:23:47.220got the recipe yeah there you go it's great um unbelievable so i mean you've been on that show
00:23:53.140you're it's you're still on it we're filming yeah we're filming the eighth season of million dollar
00:23:56.180listing right now we'll come back this summer yeah how authentic is it super unfortunately for
00:24:01.460me like if it was if it was if it was like unauthentic and they told us what to do we'd
00:24:05.580film that whole season in like a month or two but it takes the eighth season that'll come out i think
00:24:10.480it's in august it will have taken us 11 months to make it wow it's like it takes forever because
00:24:15.540the average days on market in the city for big properties is like a year so it takes and they
00:24:19.100follow the whole fucking thing so the deals aren't closed before the if they're closed they film it
00:24:25.520If they're not closed and the show is done filming, then I either get fired or they show it as not closing or we have to rent it or something happens.
00:36:18.400So they'll buy apartments in the buildings that we sell.
00:36:20.440And that's the big business in New York.
00:36:21.440That's what we don't have in LA, really.
00:36:23.320You have some condo buildings, but in LA, the business is selling big houses, right?
00:36:27.120In New York, you can literally be a broker on one building out of the millions of buildings and sell more real estate in that one building than anyone in L.A. would be able to in years.
00:36:37.040So that's why there's so many brokers there.
00:36:39.140And that's why it's such a good market to be in because the volume is so heavy.
00:36:42.020And that's why you should get into real estate.
01:00:47.900Yeah. New York's a crazy place, man. When you walk down those streets, you look up, you have no idea what's inside those walls, which is kind of the reason I love it at the same time. Like that, everything looks the same in a building, yet every single floor, it could be totally different, totally different people. Like here, you walk down the street, every house looks so different.
01:01:04.560you know it's cool in one way but in new york like you hide behind this wall this facade literally
01:01:10.140it's what it's called it's called facade um and then inside everything can be different and it's
01:01:14.320also super efficient because everyone's stacked up on top of each other no one has land and pools
01:01:19.920and all that stuff you literally stack each other in boxes and people pay millions for it
01:01:24.760wants land and pools yeah do you think do you think new york's a love or hate thing like either
01:01:29.600one or the other are there any people i meet a lot of people that are loving hate for it yeah
01:01:33.420for sure it could be a lot listen it can definitely be a lot you have to take a break like you have
01:01:37.180to even like coming here for i'm what am i i'm here for 30 hours like it's la is nice for 30
01:01:42.820hours just to get away right but then i miss it like it's like an addiction it's like a drug
01:01:46.260addiction you have to go back you get an itch because like the adrenaline rush of just being
01:01:49.420in the city and waking up and like the craziness and you're surrounded by some of the most
01:01:53.920intellectually curious people in the world like the one issue i have with la is a lot of people
01:01:58.620are kind of involved in similar industries here no matter where you go in new york you walk down
01:02:03.540the street you'll bump into a different person every day for the rest of your life who do
01:02:06.640different things no matter what wow right and everyone's so driven yeah and everyone's from
01:02:11.520different countries they're around yeah and they if they're there they're there for a reason and
01:02:15.420they it's like do or die for them yeah you know it's crazy yeah it's crazy all right bro i want
01:02:20.660to go to the audio only if you're cool with that sure it's it's this but just extended and juicier
01:12:22.660But my parents had me play every single sport known to man because they could not understand why I was so tall, taller than my brothers, like why I wasn't good at any sports.
01:16:57.880You're probably just going to be some rich guy, and he's going to whisk you away.
