BREAKING: Barron Trump, 18, has made a shocking career pivot and has joined REAL Brokerage.
It was reported last week that Barron, a student at NYU, was focused on a venture he co-founded called Trump, Fulcher & Roxburgh Capital Inc. The firm would specialize in high-end real estate development, including luxury properties and golf courses in Utah, Arizona, and Idaho. However, Barron’s interests changed when he was invited to a digital mastermind through Instagram.
After his father’s inaugural ball, we managed to catch up with Barron for an exclusive BAM interview.
HOW DID BARRON HEAR ABOUT REAL?
“I was scrolling and saw a post from a New York real estate agent promoting a free class on how to grow on YouTube. I commented the word “INVITE,” and all of a sudden, there was a link in my DMs to attend this thing on Zoom. Everyone on the call was wearing the same shirt that said “Work Hard Be Kind,” which echoed the sentiment and principle that my father bestowed upon me. I was immediately attracted to the culture of whatever it is I was watching.”
Barron continued:
“After the Zoom, I got some follow-up emails from the host (redacted) and was eventually invited to a local event here in Manhattan called EXPLODE with about 50 other real estate agents. Funny enough, I was the only person at the entire event not with REAL brokerage. It’s almost like the entire event, though it did provide some value for the agents in attendance, was orchestrated specifically for me to feel FOMO and hang my license with REAL.”
Barron said he overheard two inebriated agents at the happy hour discussing their rev share, and he said that was the ultimate decision maker.
“One of the agents said he makes $19,000 per month, and all he does is travel around the country telling everyone he makes $19,000 per month. The other agent was boasting about how he doesn’t even have MLS access anymore.”
“I thought to myself, wait. Why build golf courses when I can build a downline?”
It took some convincing to get Barron to sideline his original real estate venture in favor of residential sales, but once a Utah real estate agent named Paige Steckling walked him through the tech, he was hooked.
Curious about his REAL upline, we prodded further. When we mentioned an “agent” named Tim Macy as a possibility for who ultimately inked the deal, Barron’s face twisted into a half-smirk before he burst into laughter and simply said, “No…no. Not him.”
REAL seems to be a good fit for Barron, as he has already shown his social media prowess by convincing his father to appear on influencer-driven podcasts like Joe Rogan, Theo Von, and Andrew Schulz during the presidential campaign. Rumor has it Barron plans to launch his own podcast titled Barron’s Blueprint, where he’ll interview other real estate agents who have absolutely no idea what they are talking about.
WHERE WILL HE SELL?
So, where does Barron plan to sell real estate? New York? Florida? The metaverse? None of the above.
“Like a lot of agents who join REAL, I’m not really interested in selling real estate at all,” he admitted.
When we asked about his highly anticipated REAL announcement video, Barron revealed he’s still waiting on edits from his videographer.
“It’s gotta be perfect,” he explained. “Drones, slo-mo, fireworks, maybe a cameo from my dad. It will be unlike anything you’ve ever seen before. And there will be many more. There will be so many announcement videos, you might even get tired of them.”
Barron will also be speaking at our free, virtual event BAM Pro Bowl II, aka The Super Bowl of Real Estate Knowledge. If you aren’t signed up, we suggest you do immediately. The speaker lineup is insane, and we are almost at capacity.
*No, Barron isn’t your next luxury listing competitor. This is satire.
