270. Ryan J. Glass: How to Break In to a Competitive Luxury Market

Top Real Estate Agents Tell How They Do It: Jere Metcalf Podcast

Today I’m taking to Ryan J. Glass with Gibson Sotheby’s International Realty in Boston, Massachusetts.
Now ranked a top real estate agent nationwide, Ryan’s path to residential luxury real estate wasn’t exactly the usual.
He worked for the U.S. General Services Administration, the largest owner of public real estate where he marketed and sold surplus property for the federal government - including lighthouses for the US Coast Guard!
In that role Ryan learned not just about the marketing and selling of real estate, he learned how to get creative to make deals happen and how to simplify even the most intricate and complex systems to ensure transactions closed.
But Ryan soon realized he wanted more out of his career. He took the leap. Ryan transitioned from his government job and elevated to the top ranks in luxury real estate in Boston, considered one of the most challenging competitive real estate markets in the US.
