Alex Boston of eXp Realty pitched baseballs at 90 miles an hour in high school and college before he turned to real estate. He’s only 21-years-old, a junior at the Carlson School of Business, and about one year into his real estate career. After growing up in the backseat of his mom's car while she showed homes, he now runs showings for her clients. He tells us what baseball taught him about failing constantly. He also explains how he deals with clients who fall in love with houses they can't afford yet.
