Balancing college and a real estate career might sound impossible — but for one HomeTeam4u agent, it became the foundation for incredible growth and success.

When he started real estate while still in school full-time, life was hectic. “It was stressful, but it was also a lot of fun,” he said. “There was always something happening — every day was a new day. It was a lot of work, but very rewarding. I’d do it all over again if I could.”

🚀 Getting Ahead by Starting Early

While many wait until after graduation to begin their careers, he’s glad he didn’t.

“Now I have two years of experience coming out of school. I understand how to serve clients better and build on what I’ve learned. It also felt amazing knowing I was helping people even while I was still a student.”

Instead of waiting for the “perfect time,” he dove in — and it paid off.

📅 A Week in the Life

A typical week meant juggling classes, office training, and client meetings.

“I’d go to class in the mornings, head to the office for training or computer work, and weekends were packed with showings and open houses.”

It wasn’t easy — but having the right support made all the difference.

💼 A Team That Understands Balance

Our team leads, Matt and Jen, were there every step of the way.

“They were incredibly supportive. They told me I needed to stay in school and encouraged me to succeed in both real estate and college. They were understanding when I had to join meetings online and kept me focused on my goals.”

That kind of mentorship is what makes the difference between burning out — and breaking through.

🏠 Leads, Training & Support — Without the Stress

For a student new to Madison, not having to find or pay for leads was huge.

“I didn’t have a sphere of influence here. Having leads provided allowed me to get my base going and start closing deals early.”

With Zillow Preferred leads, transaction coordinators, and showing agents to step in when needed, he was able to focus on clients — not paperwork.

“The admin team made everything smooth. I didn’t have to get caught up in the details — I could focus on helping clients and growing my business.”

🔑 Real Wins, Real Growth

One memorable success came from understanding the local market.

“There was a property near Portage — 50 acres of land with a home. I knew it would get tons of attention, so I told my client, ‘Let’s act fast.’ We got in on the first day, submitted a strong offer, and it was accepted before any competition could come in.”

Strategic market knowledge — and confidence — paid off.

💬 Looking Back: Lessons Learned

By the end of the year, he had closed 14 transactions — while still in school.

“Looking back, I’m amazed. I did this while balancing college, and now that I’m out of school, I realize there’s really no limit to what’s possible.”
