Shane McGraw has decades of mortgage experience and tons of transactions under his belt. Having a wife who’s also an agent, it seems that real estate has become a family affair for him.
Sharing his blessings and gift to other hopefuls, he trains leaders using the Cadre Concept–a framework he developed based on his experience as a mechanic during his military service in the Middle East.
This episode also explores the importance of having contingency and exit plans, driving for dollars, and discovering faith that will help keep you going through the challenges of life.

Quotes
“So I think my ultimate goal is to figure out how to get retirement-level assets that have both short–term and long-term gain. I want my first-year cash return. And anything I do to be profitable, I want to enter into a good deal and then better it by being industrious and creative and inventive.”

“It's not just about the practices; it's about the partnerships.”

“I have three frameworks that every professional needs. They need to know that you communicate well. They need to know that you'll make them look good, which is number one, by the way. They need to know that you have professional representation–that you actually can make their life easier by doing what you said you were doing, and make them give the client what they want, and give it to them with style.”

“Abundance is attracted based on the value you bring to the marketplace.”

“When my faith becomes real to me, it comes with peace, so in moments when I shouldn't have peace, I'm able to find it.”

“You got to find your purpose because if you don't, almost everything will be fleeting.”

“[If] I go into it wanting to win, I will lose–if I go into it to understand, I will win. So I just seek understanding.”

“You're not the center of the story. So not all those things happen to you. They happen, and you're there."

“Be part of a highly skilled group of people working for a common mission or purpose as a team–and that's how Cadre was formed.
