“My bucket list wish was to build the nation's most efficient, client-centric brokerage, even if it meant making less profit per transaction. I’d rather my clients have an amazing experience and tell their friends and family and then profit from the volume. I feel good and that my life matters because I created something that is benefiting people,” says DeLeon.
