Overcoming adversity and doing whatever it takes with Ben Naumann and Conor Watkins

This week’s episode covers a discussion I had with two friends and real estate investors in the Houston, Texas area.

Conor Watkins discovered sales when working at Best Buy. He knew he wanted to do sales and eventually found his way into real estate. He quickly got traction on the apartment leasing side, where he was doing up to 30 transactions in a month after only one year.

This got his buddy Ben to take getting his real estate license a bit more seriously, and soon after, Ben also jumped into the game.

They dive into some of the highs and lows, wins and losses they’ve faced since starting off.

Perhaps the lowest point was when the brokerage they were doing really well with decided to send them a cease & desist letter and refuse to pay them tens of thousands of dollars of earned commissions.

They didn’t let that stop them, and they’ve continued to push towards success nonetheless, even partnering on several deals together.

Overcoming adversity and doing whatever it takes – EMP103

This week, we are doing things a little bit differently. I’m joined by Ben Naumann and Conor Watkins, two friends who have been in real estate for several years now in Houston, Texas.

Conor got into real estate apartment leasing and started doing very well. This got Ben to really prioritize getting his real estate license and jumping in. 

After being faced with some challenges when their brokerage decided to not pay out tens of thousands of dollars of earned commissions, they started to rebuild and once again hit a stride. 

They have both partnered on several deals together and their stories are proof that with hard work and determination, obstacles can be overcome.
