What I call the traditional learn a skill coaching. And that is wonderful. Learn wholesale, learn to analyze deals. We have a host of programs in that transactional lesson based structure situation, offerings from videos for $25 through a fully comprehensive, small class training with Steve Franco personally.(as well as my partners Ryan, Connor, Marilyn and Kelly for certain topics)
Another passion is helping the intermediate to advanced executive excel to the next level in what I call the success, systems, strategies, solutions side of the business, whereI kind of go back to my roots of what my friends and clients used to call “McGuyvers” because I'm the guy you call when other people say “it can’t be done”
I don’t think outside the box, because I usually don’t see that there is a box
This is less a business transaction,and more of a collaborative partnership for success.
OVERVIEW:
What I do is I provide the high flying balloon level, maybe not the satellite level. Examination of this is what’s going on in your overall business and life, advantages and opportunities as well as where the imbalance is, and this is how we can help you make more money and be less stressed and overwhelmed. In many ways, by guiding you to the solutions and keeping you accountable for them. It’s an entrepreneur accountability service

Topics Steve can cover:
Certainly! Here’s a concise breakdown of each topic:
- Wholesale Real Estate vs. Broker/Agent or Realtor Sales
Wholesale is the process of selling a contract for a property at a profit from what the seller has agreed to. Wholesalers have signed (usually) a Purchase and Sale agreement.. Licensed Agents sell real estate, like a marketing company or consignment store. We don’t promise to buy the property, we promise to list it and help you sell. A real estate professional who has obtained a state license to represent buyers and sellers in real estate transactions but may not be a member of NAR. NAR is a “club” with benefits for some real estate licensees.
