“26 y/o founder who bought the firm he worked at. 200+ deals a year on systems and AI. Making brands, apps, and the only MBTA 3A tracker.”
I'm a 26 year old founder who bought the company I started at. I began at the bottom of a small Boston brokerage doing rentals, built systems that scaled my personal production past 200 deals a year, and then acquired the firm and rebranded it as PH Realty Group. Today it runs on process and AI workflows in an industry that still lives on sticky notes, and I've since launched two more ventures alongside it, including a roommate matching app I designed and shipped myself.
What I bring as a guest: specifics, not platitudes. Topics I go deep on: buying the business you work for in your twenties, what the deal looked like and what I'd do differently. Volume sales without burnout: the systems behind 200+ transactions a year. Building leverage with AI in a traditional industry where almost nobody uses it. Starting from zero in commission sales and surviving year one. And the real estate depth when shows want it: multifamily investing, underwriting like an investor because I am one, and the MBTA zoning reform reshaping Greater Boston, where I maintain the only broker built tracker covering all 13 corridor towns. 55 closed sales, a 4.7 star rating, and a listing featured in the Boston Globe Sunday Magazine back it all up.
