Are you waiting to make that big change in your life? In today’s episode of the I Own It podcast, we’re welcoming another commercial real estate colleague of mine, Jim Huang. He is President of eXp Commercial Realty, National President of the Asian Real Estate Association of America, and Founder and CEO of BRC Bellaire Holdings. Starting out in medicine and transitioning into finance, Jim Huang learned to love business development and client interaction. Buying is the easy part, but exiting a business is a challenge... and he’s got that covered! He aims to merge the old and new and refine the technology to make connecting investors to properties easier. Seeing Jim quickly adapt to the times and winning it, you’ve got no reason to hold back on taking risks and constantly working on yourself! Tune in as Jim Huang shares how he built his companies to be recession and pandemic-resilient, his passion for leading the Asian American community, why multifamily is in challenging waters right now and emerging real estate trends, and the valuable lessons he’s learned over the years in his career.
