What if the skills that made you great in another career were exactly what you needed to dominate in real estate? In this episode I sit down with Evan Crawford, former pro baseball player turned team leader in Auburn, Alabama, whose team is doing $50 million in sales in a market most people have never heard of.

Evan breaks down how he started from zero, no local network, no name recognition, and no warm leads, and built one of the top teams in the Auburn-Opelika area through old-school relationship building, market knowledge, and a willingness to look dumb and ask questions anyway.

Inside this episode:

  • How Evan used his baseball network to generate his first referrals before he had a single local client
  • The A-to-Z phone strategy that helped him rebuild his sphere from scratch
  • Why knowing your market stats cold is the only credibility tool a new agent needs
  • How to actually use your chamber membership instead of letting it collect dust
  • The handwritten card habit that turned strangers into clients and clients into a recruit
  • Why making people want to buy again is the real job of every real estate agent
