Introduction

Gunnar Greenlee is a Jesus follower and up and coming real estate professional in Colorado, and he and I work together on a real estate team with C3 Real Estate Solutions!

He shares some of the key things a new real estate agent must consider in order to be successful in the real estate business, as well as the power of teaming up with other experienced agents.
