Real Estate VS Technology: UNLEASHED!

What happens when two people go all in on each other and their real estate vision? Get ready for one of the most honest, down-to-earth convos we’ve had on Real Estate VS Technology: UNLEASHED. In this episode, we’re sitting down with Edgar Chavez and Hannah Smith — a powerhouse couple who’ve built a thriving real estate business and a growing family, all while staying rooted in purpose, love, and hustle. Their story starts with humble beginnings — think service industry jobs, multiple side hustles, and long hours. But through grit, authenticity, and a deep commitment to relationships, they’ve grown into successful brokerage owners with a business that’s as heart-driven as it is strategic. Edgar opens up about what it’s taken to stay consistent over 15+ years in the game, while Hannah shares how she went from juggling three jobs to becoming a licensed agent and an essential part of their business (and life) vision. We dive into what it really looks like to build something big without losing yourself along the way — how to navigate partnership in both love and work, why collaboration always wins over competition, and the importance of creating a business that reflects who you are, not just what you do. If you're an agent trying to find your footing, a team leader looking to build something deeper, or just someone chasing more purpose in what you do — this episode is packed with stories, insights, and reminders that you're not alone on the journey. Come hang out, get inspired, and walk away with a few golden nuggets that just might change how you approach business, relationships, and your own potential! ====== ⏰ Video Chapters with Timestamps: 00:00 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Nvh_--pJEc] Intro: It’s All About Relationships 01:00 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Nvh_--pJEc&t=60s] Meet Edgar and Hannah – A Powerhouse Real Estate Couple 05:00 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Nvh_--pJEc&t=300s] Edgar’s Journey: From Sonic & Banking to Real Estate 10:00 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Nvh_--pJEc&t=600s] How They Met: A Hooters Origin Story 14:00 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Nvh_--pJEc&t=840s] Hannah’s Leap of Faith into Real Estate 20:00 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Nvh_--pJEc&t=1200s] Building a Life & Business Together 26:00 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Nvh_--pJEc&t=1560s] Delegating, Systems, and Team Growth 32:00 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Nvh_--pJEc&t=1920s] Broker Talk: Running a Values-Driven Brokerage 46:00 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Nvh_--pJEc&t=2760s] Building Wealth Beyond Commission 53:00 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Nvh_--pJEc&t=3180s] Real Talk on House Hacking, Portfolio Growth, and Ownership 01:00:00 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Nvh_--pJEc&t=3600s] Final Thoughts: Don’t Let Fear Stop You ====== Welcome to Real Estate VS Technology UNLEASHED, where we explore the intersection of Real Estate Technology and ind Looking to scale, grow, and automate your real estate business?
