Feeling behind in your real estate career?
Read this.
The biggest developer didn’t start with a skyscraper.
He started with a 11,250 SF warehouse development.
You probably know about Trammell Crow’s empire.
The wealth, the mega developments all over the globe, and the countless real estate careers he launched.
But here’s what you might not know:
1. He was 36 years old before he started in real estate.
2. Before that, he clerked in grocery stores, unloaded railroad boxcars, and made 15 cents an hour (less than $5 today) on construction sites.
3. His first “real” job was at a bank.
4. He studied at night and became the youngest CPA in Texas.
5. Eventually, he convinced a family friend to let him build on a piece of land.
---- Takeaway ----
There was nothing inevitable about Trammell Crow’s success.
No family empire. No fast track.
Just years of showing up and working when no one was watching.
So if you’re struggling in this industry or just not getting what you want out of it, don’t count yourself out.
If you’re tired, overlooked, questioning whether you’re behind…
You might just be in your early chapters.
Trammell Crow didn’t start at the top.
He started small, late, and uncertain but with just enough belief to build something anyway.
And by the way, it wasn’t all downhill after that first warehouse on Cole Street in Dallas, but he endured because he worked hard and worked smart.
If you have some of that in you—but know you need to level up your skills—our next FastTrack cohort kicks off soon. DM us if you’re interested.
