Lars' Systems Will Allow Robert Freedman to Quadruple His Business in 2016

"After this many years of being on my own, I want to create a legacy for myself once I've stepped away from the business."

Robert Freedman (Manhattan Beach, CA) has been in the real estate business for 35 years, but he just started his own team this year. He currently has four team members and one other employee working full time as an ISA. However, he plans to have a team of 18 in the next 12 months.

Robert has been working with Lars for six months and he has had an eye-opening experience because he had largely ignored the team concept in real estate. His business partner urged him to use Lars, and it was a breaking point in his business. However, now Robert regularly meets with his team and coaches them on how to be more successful.

"I was attracted to this concept once I found out that you could build your business in a way that allowed you to walk away from it in the future."

One thing that impresses Robert about the program is the caliber of agents using it. There are people using Lars that are highly educated and very successful, yet these people know that they still have work to do and don't rate themselves very highly. The flow of information has helped him formulate plans for his own business.

"After this many years of being on my own, I want to create a legacy for myself once I've stepped away from the business."

Within ten years, Robert plans to exit his business. He currently still does a lot of the work himself, but Lars' systems have begun to take a bite out of his responsibilitities. He feels comfortable leaving his agents to take care of his clients, and that is because of the systems he's currently installing into his business.

Brett Kelly, Realtor - "I've never had a coach this methodical as far as what to do first, second, third... Rather than spending money on a bunch of different systems, we're getting really good at a few. Your conversion goes up, your costs go down, your net profit goes up - it's perfect." See the full interview >

Mike Quail, Realtor - "I knew Lars was called a Squirrel Hunter - he likes to shoot down those distractions and just get you to focus on a couple areas. Last year we were around $300,000 GCI, and this past year we were over $500,000 without overspending." See the full interview >

Scott Ashbaugh, Realtor - "I tell a lot of people out there, if you're ready to make the decision to step up, I know Lars is the guy. He's the real deal. He's scary good at what he does. This has been the best December/January - and I'm in Michigan in the dead of winter - that we've ever had." See the full interview >

Kerby Skurat, Realtor - "Lars understands what it takes to run a business. Most agents are out of the business within 3-5 years because they don't get profitability. We've been trained with Lars's system, and it's just a profitable system. Our goal in 2015 is 316 transactions with 7 agents, and that's with me out of production." See the full interview >

Andrew Altman, Realtor - "The amount of people calling me for business - I would say it's tripled, but it's way beyond that. I have a staff that actually know what they're doing and feel comfortable. So much has changed from when I met Lars that I can't even go through it all because the whole business is totally different and runs so much smoother." See the full interview >

Rebecca Coates, Realtor - "It's been the best decision we've ever made. Our business has doubled, and we can absolutely see that our business is going to triple. There's no doubt in our mind that these systems are working. I'm learning you can be successful in your career and not sacrifice your personal time." See the full interview >

Kevin Yoder, Realtor - "Lars offers more content and value than any coach I've worked with. It's not even the same type of coaching - he goes way deeper into the business. We have full access to his systems, and we're able to pull them up and put them in place in a plug-and-play way." See the full interview >

Jason Daniels, Realtor - "Lars delivers the most amazing real estate systems I've ever seen. If all he did was teach those, it would be worth it. But it goes way beyond that." See the full interview >

Daniel Beer, Realtor - “My wife always says she loves Lars, and she doesn’t even know him. My GCI will increase from $930,000 last year to $1.4 Million this year, but that’s not what I’m excited about. I'm finally getting the business systems in place to help me achieve a true work/life balance.” See the full interview >

Stacie Peterson, Realtor - "It was scary removing myself from the business. I didn't think we'd hit what we did last year, but we've already surpassed that with me completely out. He's helped me improve my finances, my health, my family... If there's other coaching like Lars I definitely don't know of it." See the full interview >

Robin Leigh, Realtor - "Lars does things in real estate that only a fraction of 1% of people in the industry even know about. He takes everything he's done so successfully and says, 'Here. Here's how it's done.'" See the full interview >

Lisa Herald, Realtor - "I can honestly say that this is changing my life. I know that in my bones. Lars has helped me take the big picture and put it into bite-sized pieces where I can actually get traction. It's very,very high touch - much higher touch than with the coaches I've had before - so I have access to a tremendous amount of knowledge." See the full interview >

About Lars Hedenborg

My name is Lars Hedenborg and I’m a successful real estate agent in Charlotte, NC. My first full year in real estate was 2008...can you imagine what it was like to come into real estate just as the end of the financial world as we knew it was upon us!? I had zero sales experience but I fought hard and battled my way through that tough market.

By the end of my first full year, I sold over 70 homes earning gross commissions in excess of $500,000. And at this point in my career, I’ve sold over 1,000 homes for real estate worth in excess of $250M! I’ve built real systems in my business and this year I will sell close to $90M worth of real estate working only 1 day per week. That’s over 300 properties sold this year and I don’t have to meet with any clients!

With 2 young children (ages 3 and 5) and a wife that I love dearly, it was critical that I find a way to give up the grind of working deals 24/7. I had a single focus, a really big "Why" that drove me to do whatever it took to build a "real" real estate business. While it's not always as perfect as the picture below and sometimes it's a bit messy, my passion is my beautiful kids and amazing wife.

So I developed step by step training systems that teach top producing agents and team leaders the exact same mindsets, systems, tools and strategies I’ve implemented in my business to go from rookie agent with no sales experience whatsoever...to really busy top producing agent...to an inspiring team leader...to a real business owner now working only 1 day per week making more money than I ever could have imagined.

If you’re bursting at the seams, always on your phone, checking email 24/7, missing family events or your children’s school activities, or just want more time to pursue your true passions or hobbies, then you must take action and find a different way to live your life.
