Summary

Ivan Iverson is an attorney, entrepreneur, and real estate investor. He is the founder of Top Brokerage, a company that helps investors gain access to the MLS without sacrificing thousands of dollars in commissions. Over the last two decades, he has built multiple businesses and scaled his wholesaling operation to consistent six-figure months. In today’s episode, Ivan joins me to discuss how real estate investors can use his “MLS cheat code” to list properties without paying traditional commissions. He also shares his journey into real estate and consulting. We dive into the traditional ways investors have historically sold their deals and why the MLS is the most powerful marketplace for finding buyers. Ivan explains why he created Top Brokerage and how investors can gain access to the MLS while keeping more of their profits. Ivan also breaks down the biggest mistakes investors make when listing properties, how to scale through the legal and compliance challenges involved, and how to sell deals quickly. Our conversation covers how to scale a business the right way, the exact business model Top Brokerage follows, what every entrepreneur must do before hiring, how to use credit responsibly, how to build trust with sellers, and the major factors that have shaped Ivan’s approach to business and life. If you’re doing more than a couple of deals a year, a 3% listing commission is basically a tax on being organized. Join us today to learn how to push your deals to the MLS without handing over thousands of dollars to a listing agent every time.
