Chris is the best-selling author of Real Estate on Your Terms: Create Continuous Cash Flow Now, Without Using Your Cash or Credit. He's also the founder of SmartRealEstateCoach.com and the Smart Real Estate Coach Podcast.   Chris has been in real estate for over 25 years. His experience includes the construction of over 100 single-family and duplex homes (mostly in the 1990's and selectively to date), has owned a Realty Executives Franchise (Massachusetts 1994-2000) as broker/owner which maintained high per-agent standards and eventually sold to Coldwell Banker in 2000. The 2000's included coaching ½ million and higher REALTORs® in order to scale & automate their business throughout the US and Canada. He also participated (and still does selectively) in doing condo conversions (multi-family homes to condos) and “raise the roof” projects (converting single-family ranches to colonials in growth neighborhoods).   Chris has been a big advocate of constant education and participates regularly in high-end mastermind groups, as well as consults with private mentors. He runs his own buying and selling businesses with his family team, which buys 2-5 properties monthly, so they're in the trenches every single week. They also help clients do the same thing around the country.   Chris and his family team have done over 80 million in real estate transactions. They mentor, coach, consult, and actually partner with students around the country (by application only) to do exactly what they do.   Kelsie was born and raised in Southern Illinois. She is a graduate of Southern Illinois University where she earned a Ph.D. in Rehabilitation Counseling and Business Administration. After graduating, she relocated to California. Kelsie has many years of experience in a variety of service provisions, including therapy, program evaluation, and teaching. Kelsie is very passionate about working in business administration. As our Community Director, she is dedicated to creating a supportive environment and quality experience for our associates during their journey within the Wicked Smart® Community.   Kelsie is involved in her local community by helping the homeless population in Los Angeles.

He explains why he started Pre Property Solutions after facing his own credit challenges, following the 2008 market crash. Chris also provides insight into why sellers are interested in working with the company, even if they aren't in financial despair. Glossary of Special Terms Used in this Episode: Estate planning: the preparation of determining what happens to your assets in the event of death of incapacitation What you'll learn about in this episode: Why Chris started Pre Property Solutions back in 2012 How Pre Property Solutions helps both buyers and sellers facing challenges buying a home What are five scenarios where sellers would care about working with Pre Property Solutions What has been the biggest evolution of Pre Property Solutions since including Nick and Zach in the business How Pre Property Solutions can help you regardless of location or budget Resources: Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chrisprefontaine Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CHRISPRE SmartRealEstateCoachPodcast.com/webinar SmartRealEstateCoachPodcast.com/termsbook SmartRealEstateCoachPodcast.com/ebook SmartRealEstateCoach.com/QLS Additional Resources: Pre Property Solutions website: https://www.prepropertysolutions.com/ Contact Us: https://www.prepropertysolutions.com/contact/ Chris's Bio: Chris is the three-time best-selling author of Real Estate on Your Terms: Create Continuous Cash Flow Now, Without Using Your Cash or Credit. He's also the founder of SmartRealEstateCoach.com and the Smart Real Estate Coach Podcast. Chris has been in real estate for over 30 years. His experience includes the construction of over 100 single-family and duplex homes (mostly in the 1990's and selectively to date), has owned a Realty Executives Franchise (Massachusetts 1994-2000) as broker/owner which maintained high per-agent standards and eventually sold to Coldwell Banker in 2000. The 2000's included coaching ½ million and higher REALTORs® in order to scale & automate their business throughout the US and Canada. He also participated (and still does selectively) in doing condo conversions (multi-family homes to condos) and “raise the roof” projects (converting single-family ranches to colonials in growth neighborhoods).

They also help clients do the same thing around the country. Chris and his family team have done over 80 million in real estate transactions. They mentor, coach, consult, and actually partner with students around the country (by application only) to do exactly what they do. Nick's Bio: In 2003, Nick Prefontaine was in a snowboarding accident that left him in a coma for over 3 weeks. The doctors told his parents that he probably wouldn't walk, talk, or eat on his own again. Less than 3 months later, he was running out of Franciscan Children's hospital. Now Nick speaks to groups that benefit from his message of overcoming adversity. Nick grew up in the real estate industry and got started at an early age. Most notably, he was knocking on Pre-Foreclosure doors at 16, doing up to 50 doors a day. This experience helped shape Nick's real estate career. When someone opens the door you better have something compelling to say. Now, Nick specializes in working with lease purchase buyers to get them into a home and on the path to homeownership. That includes working with them throughout the entire deal which ends in them being able to get their own loan. Getting buyers to the finish line is something Nick and the entire Pre Property Solutions team take pride in. That is something that separates them from their competition. Regardless of a buyer's credit situation, he looks at their complete financial picture and comes up with a plan to get them into a home. Zachary's Bio: Zachary Beach is an Amazon Best-Selling Author of The New Rules of Real Estate Investing and revised edition of Real Estate On Your Terms. He has been an authority in real estate for 7 years now and has personally completed hundreds of real estate transactions and has mentored investors to complete thousands of transactions. At the age of 25, Zachary decided to leave the world of bartending and personal training and jump into the family business. Now he is an equal partner and runs the acquisitions department, focusing on helping sellers accomplish their goal of selling their property. If Zachary is not working, you will find him enjoying the outdoors or spending time with his wife Kayla and two kids, Remi and Bellamy. His passion for family and business is what keeps him motivated and excited to take on each day.

Real estate cash flow tips from master investor Chris Prefontaine. Terms real estate deals can be a powerful way for agency owners to start investing. Hear insights about: How Chris first got involved in real estate in 1991, and how he reinvented himself and his business model after the real estate crash of 2008 Why it is important to learn from people who have navigated real challenges and survived (and thrived) through them What the real estate “terms” deals are, how it differs from other forms of real estate investing, and how it can help you build long-term wealth How Chris has designed his strategies to be the ideal cash flow stream regardless of what the real estate market looks like How Chris's model creates three distinct “paydays” over the course of a deal, and what kinds of profits Chris and his students typically make from their deals Why the real secret to finding success with Chris's real estate investing methods is to come in serious, committed, and prepared to commit for 36 months Why real estate terms deals don't require huge amounts of money to get started, and why Chris suggests you choose an investing niche and then learn from the right teacher Real Estate Cash Flow for Agency Owners Investing your money is crucial for growing your wealth and creating real monthly cash flow, and real estate can potentially serve as a powerful vehicle for growing your portfolio. However, it's crucial to learn from someone who has truly thrived through every challenge. Chris Prefontaine is a master real estate investor and coach who teaches people how to use “terms” real estate investing to create generational wealth for themselves and their families. In this episode of the Progressive Agency podcast, Chris shares how his “terms” niche works, how it creates three separate “paydays” per deal, and how his methods have been designed to be safe and reliable…no matter how chaotic the real estate market becomes. Learning from Someone Who Has Been There No matter what sort of investing you're interested in doing or what new skills you want to learn, Chris says it is crucial to learn from someone who has been through tough times and weathered them. Chris himself got started in real estate investing in 1991, and the real estate market collapse and Great Recession of 2008 hit his business hard. Rather than give up, Chris took what he learned from these challenges and modified his systems and processes to become much more resilient, no matter what the larger real estate market was doing. In going through the challenges of the Great Recession, Chris was able to learn and grow and become an even stronger business leader and coach. That's why Chris believes that learning from someone who has survived their own challenges is much more beneficial than learning from someone who has never had to navigate hard times. Real Estate Cash Flow Can Help You Grow Your Agency Investing in the real estate market doesn't have to be overwhelming when you learn from an established coach like Chris Prefontaine, and adding real estate to your investment portfolio can be a powerful investment in yourself and your agency. Not only are you helping safeguard against disaster by adding an outside source of income independent of your business, you can use the cash flow your portfolio creates to further invest in your agency, add new team members, and accelerate the growth of your business.

What you'll learn about in this episode: What a “one-handed economist” is, and why nobody can say for certain what the market will do under the global pandemic Why the terms niche offers predictable success in real estate regardless of what the market does How the terms niche isn't just predictable but also super profitable, if you follow Chris's method correctly Why market conditions are creating a “perfect triangle” of opportunity for investors in the terms niche Why “money follows management”, and how Chris and his team can show proven results working through challenging situations Why “success is a lousy teacher”, and why it is important that mentors have been through at least two storms and have learned to weather them Why creating leverage through tools and processes that allow you to accomplish more with less is the key to success, and why measuring and thinking are critical skills How Chris and his team first look for pain, then identify the best solution, then explain and provide that solution Why adding value is the best way to drive up your income, and why providing an amazing experience is the secret to adding value How Chris's National Property Team is helping its members add value by providing an amazing experience Resources: Private 15-minute strategy call with Chris: www.SmartRealEstateCoach.com/action Smart Real Estate Coach YouTube Channel: www.youtube.com/user/smartrealestatecoach 31 Day Billionaire course: http://smartrealestatecoach.com/billionaire/ Dr. Amanda Barrientez: www.SmartRealEstateCoach.com/NFA Thursday Strategy Zoom Call with Chris: support@smartrealestatecoach.com Three Year $1 Million Plan: support@smartrealestatecoach.com Be The Authority course: https://predictiveroi.com/be-the-authority/ Elite Entrepreneurs course: www.SmartRealEstateCoach.com/ignition Website: www.getQLS.com Thriving In Chaos miniseries from the Smart Real Estate Coach podcast: Thriving In Chaos episode one, featuring Chris Prefontaine: https://smartrealestatecoachpodcast.com/podcasts/solocast-14/ Thriving In Chaos episode two, featuring Brett Gilliland: https://smartrealestatecoachpodcast.com/podcasts/brett-gilliland-02/ Thriving In Chaos episode three, featuring Clate Mask: https://smartrealestatecoachpodcast.com/podcasts/clate-mask/ Thriving In Chaos episode four, featuring Kevin Harrington: https://smartrealestatecoachpodcast.com/podcasts/kevin-harrington/ Thriving In Chaos episode five, featuring Don Yaeger: https://smartrealestatecoachpodcast.com/podcasts/don-yaeger/ Additional resources: SmartRealEstateCoachPodcast.com/webinar SmartRealEstateCoachPodcast.com/termsbook SmartRealEstateCoachPodcast.com/ebook SmartRealEstateCoach.com/QLS Smart Real Estate Coach Podcast Sponsor: Paul G.

Chris is the best-selling author of Real Estate on Your Terms: Create Continuous Cash Flow Now, Without Using Your Cash or Credit. He's also the founder of SmartRealEstateCoach.com and the Smart Real Estate Coach Podcast. Chris has been in real estate for over 25 years. His experience includes the construction of over 100 single-family and duplex homes (mostly in the 1990's and selectively to date), has owned a Realty Executives Franchise (Massachusetts 1994-2000) as broker/owner which maintained high per-agent standards and eventually sold to Coldwell Banker in 2000. The 2000's included coaching ½ million and higher REALTORs® in order to scale & automate their business throughout the US and Canada. He also participated (and still does selectively) in doing condo conversions (multi-family homes to condos) and “raise the roof” projects (converting single-family ranches to colonials in growth neighborhoods). Chris has been a big advocate of constant education and participates regularly in high-end mastermind groups, as well as consults with private mentors. He runs his own buying and selling businesses with his family team, which buys 2-5 properties monthly, so they're in the trenches every single week. They also help clients do the same thing around the country. Chris and his family team have done over 80 million in real estate transactions. They mentor, coach, consult, and actually partner with students around the country (by application only) to do exactly what they do. What you'll learn about in this episode: What Chris means by “stacking”, and how a “complete predictable package” is the key to weathering any storm How a complete package is comprised of skill sets needed to operate in your niche, the mental side of the business, support, and predictability Why ACAA – Action, Critique, Adjust, Action – is a powerful way of getting the results you're looking for Why the six stacks of a complete, predictable package are proven to be repeatable, and why this repeatability is key Chris provides free, must-have resources to help you take control of and master the mental side of your business Chris explains how he can talk about real estate being predictable thanks to the stacking program being so predictable and time-proven Why the three consistent and reliable paydays generated by Chris's methods are a vital ingredient for building wealth rather than working a job Why becoming the authority in your market can help you fight off competition from the terms niche Finish this statement: “to truly, definitively and predictably _______ in the next 12 months, I must _______.” Why you need to work to make the journey fun and not just the destination, and why it's important to identify what new routines you need to develop and habits you need to break Resources: Private 15-minute strategy call with Chris: www.SmartRealEstateCoach.com/action Smart Real Estate Coach YouTube Channel: www.youtube.com/user/smartrealestatecoach 31 Day Billionaire course: http://smartrealestatecoach.com/billionaire/ Dr. Amanda Barrientez: www.SmartRealEstateCoach.com/NFA Thursday Strategy Zoom Call with Chris: support@smartrealestatecoach.com Three Year $1 Million Plan: support@smartrealestatecoach.com Be The Authority course: https://predictiveroi.com/be-the-authority/ Elite Entrepreneurs course: www.SmartRealEstateCoach.com/ignition Website: www.getQLS.com Past Solocasts from Chris: Episode 5: https://smartrealestatecoachpodcast.com/podcasts/chris-solocast/ Episode 12: https://smartrealestatecoachpodcast.com/podcasts/chris-solocast-2/ Episode 20: https://smartrealestatecoachpodcast.com/podcasts/chris-solocast-3/ Episode 42: https://smartrealestatecoachpodcast.com/podcasts/chris-solocast-4/ Episode 55: https://smartrealestatecoachpodcast.com/podcasts/chris-solocast-5/ Episode 87: https://smartrealestatecoachpodcast.com/podcasts/solocast-6/ Episode 100: https://smartrealestatecoachpodcast.com/podcasts/episode-100/ Episode 117: https://smartrealestatecoachpodcast.com/podcasts/solocast-8/ Episode 123: https://smartrealestatecoachpodcast.com/podcasts/solocast-09/ Episode 129: https://smartrealestatecoachpodcast.com/podcasts/solocast-10/ Episode 137: https://smartrealestatecoachpodcast.com/podcasts/solocast-11/ Episode 144: https://smartrealestatecoachpodcast.com/podcasts/solocast-12/ Episode 153: https://smartrealestatecoachpodcast.com/podcasts/solocast-13/ Episode 158: https://smartrealestatecoachpodcast.com/podcasts/solocast-14/ Episode 165: https://smartrealestatecoachpodcast.com/podcasts/solocast-15/ Episode 172: https://smartrealestatecoachpodcast.com/podcasts/solocast-16/ Episode 180: https://smartrealestatecoachpodcast.com/podcasts/solocast-17/ Additional resources: SmartRealEstateCoachPodcast.com/webinar SmartRealEstateCoachPodcast.com/termsbook SmartRealEstateCoachPodcast.com/ebook SmartRealEstateCoach.com/QLS Smart Real Estate Coach Podcast Sponsor: Paul G.

He also participated (and still does selectively) in doing condo conversions (multi-family homes to condos) and “raise the roof” projects (converting single-family ranches to colonials in growth neighborhoods). Chris has been a big advocate of constant education and participates regularly in high-end mastermind groups, as well as consults with private mentors. He runs his own buying and selling businesses with his family team, which buys 2-5 properties monthly, so they're in the trenches every single week. They also help clients do the same thing around the country. Chris and his family team have done over 80 million in real estate transactions. They mentor, coach, consult, and actually partner with students around the country (by application only) to do exactly what they do. What you'll learn about in this episode: Why increasing the value of your offerings to the people you're dealing with and delivering that value better than anyone else is the secret to increasing your income Why Chris's strategies will work for you to increase your income no matter what niche in real estate you work in What simple thought exercise you can do that will help you increase your income by 2x to 10x just by filling in the blanks in a sentence Why becoming “the authority” in your market can position you to do more deals and more profitable deals What resources are available to investors to get them to the $1 million mark, and why your growth needs will change once you reach $1 million How to use Chris's ACAA method (action, critique, adjust, action) to fine tune your business as well as all aspects of your life Why it is important to start each day on “offense” rather than “defense”, and how your morning habits and routines can set the tone of your entire day Why daily journaling of something you're grateful for, three wins from the previous day, and three wins you plan for today is a powerful way to kick start each morning Why questioning everything, looking for proof and success, changing your story, and scripting out your future in great detail are the key steps that can help you change your mindset Additional resources: Website: www.SmartRealEstateCoach.com/NFA Email: support@SmartRealEstateCoach.com Email: Chris@SmartRealEstateCoach.com Website: www.SmartRealEstateCoachPodcast.com/webinar Website: www.SmartRealEstateCoachPodcast.com/termsbook Website: www.SmartRealEstateCoachPodcast.com/ebook
