When did you start your career in real estate? After graduating from college in New Mexico, Sol and I moved to Lubbock in August 2021. We got our real estate licenses at the end of October that year and started our career working at Progressive Properties in November of 2021.

What did you do before real estate? Sol and I both attended college in Albuquerque, NM, where I received my bachelor’s degree in business general management, and Sol received his associate’s degree in business administration.

Share the life events that led you to real estate.  Many life events led us into this career field. For me, I've grown up around real estate my whole life. My grandparents owned an independent brokerage in my hometown known as Kenneth Realty. My mother also had her real estate license, and from the time I was born, I was on her side at the office, tagging along to showings. She even had a crib for me in her office. Sadly, my mom passed away in July 2019, so carrying on that love for real estate that she showed me became even more important for me. Aside from growing up around real estate, I've always had an obsession with the architectural and interior design side of real estate.

Sol grew up around real estate with his father, who was and still is a general contractor. Sol's upbringing consisted of working on houses, doing jobs such as demolition, drywall and texturing, tile and flooring and more, which is how he found his love for working on houses and where he gained his excessive knowledge of the ins and outs of a home.

How and why did you choose your current brokerage? We chose Progressive Properties due to its family/team-like environment. Talk about a place with no competition and only love and support for us all to get to the top together. We were also drawn to the knowledge and mentorship the brokerage offers. We can 100% pay our respects for our success to how Progressive Properties has taught us to get any and every deal to the closing table.

What are you most passionate about in real estate right now? We are most passionate about keeping our speed and growth in our business. We never dreamed our career would take off this quickly within the two years we've been in it, and we have no plans of letting off the gas. The sky is the limit, and we seriously cannot wait to see what's in store for us and SSOLD REALTY GROUP, INC. as we continue to show up and show out for our partners and clientele.

What do you find most fulfilling about your work? The most fulfilling part of our job is guiding our clients with one of the most significant purchases of their lives. Being able to buy real estate is a huge accomplishment. Although it can be daunting and scary for homebuyers, taking that pressure off our clients and allowing them to enjoy the process while we handle the rest is very rewarding. Knowing that we play a huge role in people's new chapters is a joy.

What do you see for your real estate future? We see a ton of growth and expansion. Sol and I plan to keep doing real estate for many years. We genuinely love what we do, and where there is passion, success follows. As we continue in our career, we want to invest in more real estate in the area, expand the team and venture into other businesses. Because we are just 22 and 23, we plan to hustle hard for the next 20 to 25 years in hopes of retiring early and doing what we love most — being with family and friends and traveling.

What sets you apart? The number one thing that sets us apart is our hustle. Being in our early 20s with no kids or family in town but a true passion for what we do, we can truly say work is our life. When working with us, our clients get our all. They also get two agents for the price of one, which brings more knowledge, perspective and accessibility to the table. Lastly, we aren't concerned about numbers in this business. We'll sell you a $900,000 house but will also sell you a $30,000 fix-and-flip. We are here to provide our clients with the best service regardless of the timeline, price point or situation.

Share your favorite places to meet with clients. If we don’t meet with clients in the office, we meet with them at our local favorite coffee shops like Brewed Awakening, Sugar Browns and Monomyth Coffee Co.

Tell us about your family and what you all enjoy doing together. Right now, we don't have any children. We do have plans to have kids, just not right now, as we are focusing on growing our business and preparing for our future. When not running the business, we enjoy hanging with our people and being outside, whether snowboarding in the mountains, hanging on the boat at the lake or traveling to new places. Between the two of us, we have family in New Mexico, Arizona and Colorado with whom we love to spend time.

How do you define success? To us, success is what we are able to leave behind. The legacy that we want to leave behind is what drives us every day.

What do you want to be remembered for? Our primary goal  is to be remembered as good and genuine people.

What is something that not many people know about you? We are high school sweethearts. We met in seventh grade, started dating during our sophomore year of high school in 2016 and have been together ever since.
