Episode: The iCandy Realty Fix & List Model with Steve Budzik
Guest: Steve Budzik is the managing broker & founder of iCandy Realty, a Boutique Real Estate Brokerage in Mokena, IL serving the greater Chicago Real Estate Market. Steve is also an accomplished high volume fix & flip investor. Long time listeners will remember Steve’s past REI Diamonds episode where we discussed high dollar house flipping.

The experience and contacts he developed flipping houses has dovetailed neatly into this new program. Steve has built both his brokerage & real estate investing business with a priority on high level service to the market place over high volume advertising. Our conversation begins with Steve’s evolution to the fix & list business model, his views on how to mitigate risk both as an investor and as a real estate agent, as well as a few reasons he believes every real estate agent should offer a program like this.

Steve Budzik is the managing broker and founder of iCandy Realty. A boutique real estate brokerage in Mokena, Illinois, serving the greater Chicago real estate market. Steve is also an accomplished high-volume fix and flip investor. Long-time listeners will remember Steve’s past REI Diamonds episode where we discussed his high-dollar house flipping strategy. Since then, Steve has developed the fix and list program to help his brokerage sell houses faster and at a higher price. The experience and contacts he developed flipping houses along the way have dovetailed neatly into this new program. Steve has built both his brokerage and real estate investing business with a priority on high-level service to the marketplace over high-volume advertising. Our conversation begins with Steve’s evolution into the fix and flip business model, his views on how to mitigate risk both as an investor and as a real estate agent, as well as a few reasons he believes every real estate agent should offer a program like this. Let’s begin. All right, cool. Welcome back, Steve. How are you doing today?
