Neil hails from Des Moines, Iowa. In 2004, Neil was a banker. That same year, his mother had her debut year as a realtor. She made twice what he made. It was then that Neil knew he had to move to real estate. Neil’s entry point into the industry was as a Realtor with RE/MAX. His team was recognized by the Wall Street Journal as a Top 100 team and he was the #1 RE/MAX Agent in Iowa by 29. Longing to quit forfeiting time for dollars, Neil moved into real estate investing.
