ABOUT THIS EPISODE
In this episode of the RETSY Podcast, Chris and Matt sit down with Rami Haddad, one of the newest agents to join RETSY. Rami talks about moving from a Bay Area banking software career to Arizona on a whim, getting his license a month after a pickleball conversation changed his outlook, and landing his first big client within three weeks of starting. That search for a $4.9 million new build turned into a seven month crash course in development and led to builder clients of his own. He also shares what it was like to go from being the only agent at a building and development company to joining a brokerage full of top producers, and what drew him to RETSY in the first place.
The conversation covers how Rami and Mike D’Elena drove the entire Cactus Corridor to build an off-market map of every construction site and new listing, and why that data gives their clients an edge nobody else has. Chris and Rami also get into how RETSY Connect and the pocket listings page help agents collaborate, how new tools get tested before they roll out company wide, and why a strong culture matters more than the tech. Rami closes with what he is focused on heading into the end of the year and the advice he would give his younger self, which comes down to worrying less about what he cannot control.
