And today I am very honored to be joined by one of the top agents I know, particularly online, but also from the aspect of being a fellow St. Louis person. And that is Joseph Magsaysay. Now Joseph is the VP of business development for Better Homes and Gardens Preferred Properties in and around the St Louis area.

So, first of all, Joseph, thanks so much for joining me here today.

Well, thank you very much. Thank you. Joseph, why don't you talk a little bit about you being an agent, the impact team, what are your goals and maybe a little bit of your history of how you got to become an agent?
Joseph Magsaysay
Yeah, so, okay. Let's, let's talk, let's talk about the history first. So, you know, I arrived here in America, year, 2007, and I was born and raised in the Philippines. And when I was in the Philippines, I used to be a banker. You know, I worked for JP Morgan chase bank, you know, I did consumer lending and investment banking. However, we my family moved here to America and in Southeast, Missouri from the Philippines straight to Southeast Missouri. And that's how, that's how it was when everything happened. And the back then it's so hard by the way, to land a job in that parts of the country, you know, Southeast Missouri.
Joseph Magsaysay (02:07):
So I just decided to put matters in my own hands and become an entrepreneur. And it's funny because when I decided to become a Realtor, you know, my own family doubted me, my own family told me that that was not going to be successful. That there's no way for someone like me to be successful in such a small town where, you know, I I'm the, I was the only Filipino Realtor in Cape Girardeau. I was the only Asian Realtor in Cape Girardeau back then. And I was blessed enough that's in my first year in the business, I was able to help 35 families buy and sell homes. And 29 out of those 35 families were bartenders and servers, because that was my strategy....
