Creating Wealth With Your Partner | Sarah and Josh Bennett – 010

Sarah and Josh Bennett on the Be Better Podcast

Working with your significant other can result in an exciting workplace. Josh and Sarah are a married real estate team located in Columbia, South Carolina. After the birth of their second child, Sarah decided to join the real estate industry, and her husband Josh helped accomplish her goal. In today’s episode of the Be Better Podcast, they discuss how to create wealth as a team.

The secret of working with family:

  • Recognize your strengths and weaknesses. Sarah and Josh pair their strengths together to deliver the best results.
  • Because they have defined duties and responsibilities, staying in those defined roles prevents conflict and focuses their efforts on what they do best. 
  • When differences arise, they regroup to focus on the bigger picture. At the end of the day, they work together towards a common goal.

Creating wealth with real estate:

  • Real estate is a great space to build generational wealth, whether in sales or to invest.
  • The traditional college pipeline is not the only route to wealth. With real estate, there is no ceiling; however hard you work is what you’re going to make.
  • Last year, Sarah started her real estate team. To them, moving beyond a family business and adding team members was a huge responsibility. 
  • There are more systems, more technicalities, and the knowledge that their employees’ livelihood depends on the business is a challenge.

The Bennett’s marketing philosophy: 

  • Marketing has dramatically changed over the years, and it will continue to do so. Being adaptable in your efforts will help create a sustainable strategy.
  • Social media is a powerful marketing tactic for realtors. They predominantly use Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and YouTube, with Instagram being where they generate the most engagement.
  • When it comes to content, don’t be boring. They try to take their life and make it interesting, using everyday opportunities as a time for content. 

Sarah’s advice for her younger self? Hone in on the one thing you want to excel at, and keep working to make it happen. Josh’s advice is to marry Sarah, which might be difficult for you to implement in your own life. Regardless, we love the sentiment.
