EP 78: The Deal We Took With Zero Profit—Here’s Why

In this episode, I share a powerful story about how we helped an elderly homeowner who had run out of options. Facing foreclosure and struggling to sell their home after multiple failed attempts, they reached out to us. Instead of walking away with nothing, we stepped in—not to make a profit, but to truly make a difference.

 

I take you through the entire process, from assessing their situation to listing the property, handling buyer negotiations, and even navigating unexpected obstacles like last-minute liens. This episode is all about why real estate isn’t just about making money—it’s about serving people. If you’re an investor, wholesaler, or agent, I challenge you to consider how you can make an impact while still building a profitable business.

2. Sometimes, the best deals aren’t about profit – Helping someone in need, even if it means making no money, can have long-term benefits for your business and reputation.

3. Transparency and communication build trust – Being upfront with sellers, agents, and buyers ensures smoother transactions and better outcomes for everyone involved.
