https://www.cnbc.comTop 10 Real Estate Leaders To Watch Out For In 2021
HighKey Agency Top 10 Real Estate Leaders San juan, Puerto Rico, April 05, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Today we at HighKey Agency are going to cover “Top 10 Real Estate Leaders in 2021”. They say there is always money in real estate, but that doesn’t mean those who see success in the industry can slack off or that it’s a walk in the park. Whether working as a solo act or with a team of dozens, whether they’re renovating apartments, selling family homes, or selling mansions to the rich and famous, building a business from the ground up and seeing success with it takes passion and dedication. For some people, passion and dedication are hard to come by, but none of the people on this list fall into that category. Whether it’s digging to the core of the Earth just to say that they could or lifting the sky on their shoulders to help their families, the people on this list have passion and dedication in spades. Considering that, here are the top ten real estate leaders to keep an eye on as we progress through 2021. Annetta Powell Born to deaf parents in Pontiac, Michigan, Annetta knows what it means to work hard and defy the odds. She learned from a young age that if she wanted more out of life, she would have to make it happen herself. At the age of 24, Annetta realized that climbing the corporate ladder and working for someone else would never give her the life she wanted. She had to think bigger.Since 2001, she’s formed her very own real estate investment firm, Infinity Properties Group, which has done over $50 million in real estate sales. She’s also built five tax franchises known as The Tax Experts and a luxury party bus company, and published her first book, Finding, Fixing, and Flipping Properties. While most would relax, Annetta is just getting started, now helping others realize their own success through The Wealth Connect, an initiative created to accelerate entrepreneurs toward success. Like every great success story, her journey has been challenging. 2009 brought forth a real estate-fueled recession that affected the entire nation, and making matters worse, Annetta was indicted for fraud and was sentenced to 15 months in federal prison. Instead of giving up, she had a comeback unlike any other. She rebuilt her real estate empire, created her dream life, and now aims to help millions of others overcome their obstacles and create their own dream lives. Ralph DiBugnara Ralph DiBugnara is a successful real estate guru, advisor, and problem-solver, but that wasn’t always the case. Ralph grew up in Brooklyn, New York, watching his father work multiple jobs to take care of the family. Seeing this, it fed Ralph’s determination to work as hard as possible and improve his fortunes. It’s no surprise that he started his own business, eventually leading to the real estate industry. Everything worthwhile takes work, of course, but if Ralph and his team can survive the 2008 recession, then they can make it through anything. He’s eager to learn and stay in shape, keeping himself at the top of his game for whatever else may come. He’s also eager to share what he knows. The Disruptors Network is a series devoted to interviewing successful guests to get lesser-known tips and secrets behind their success to help the audience grow and learn and discover their own paths to entrepreneurship. While Ralph maintains that vigilance and a competitive streak will take people further than anything else, a helping hand now and then never hurts. Robby Clark Born in Chicago before moving to Florida, then Ontario Canada at 5, Robby Clark was a busy child. Through his teenage years, he was a successful Canadian actor. Though he gradually lost interest in acting, his passion for life never wavered. After spending all his money from acting and a brief stint in producing and singing, Robby fell in love with the world of business at 25 years old. Robby had no formal education beyond grade eight, which he credits as part of his flexibility and creativity. What started with one small home has expanded to multiple businesses, includ
