Victoria Velazquez knows The Broke Agent from way back since the two went to high school together. She consulted him when starting out in real estate. From there, their paths diverged, but some shared core beliefs remained at the center of each one’s approach to real estate.

On today’s episode of the Over Ask Podcast, she joins him and Matt Lionetti to discuss how she went from zero to $71 million in sales in her first five years, the anxiety she felt and how she dealt with it to make huge gains, and why she hosts neighbors-only open houses.
