This Wednesday on GSD Mode Podcast, the #1 Real Estate Podcast in the industry, Top Realtor, Real Estate Investor, & Real Estate Brokerage Owner John Costello joins the show! To say that John wears many hats in his real estate business would be a drastic understatement.

Starting out investing in real estate, he then started a husband/wife real estate agent team, which then grew into the team of 100+ agents that he runs today. Listen as Joshua picks John’s brain about how to create an amazing culture inside his business with his employees, tips for agents looking to get into a husband/wife real estate team, his tricks and tips for keeping his agents accountable, and so much more!
