“I thought to myself, 'Man, just put this back in your memory bank, but you could do a lot better job.'"

Episode 252 of The Smart Agents Podcast features Mike Cossette, a 20-year real estate veteran and co-owner of RE/MAX Gateway in Austin, Texas. What started with a frustrating experience buying his first home quickly turned into a mission to do better—and ultimately led him to launch his own brokerage, flip properties, and build an 18-property investment portfolio.

Mike shares how that early wake-up call shaped his client-first philosophy and how he now uses strategic investing and media marketing to create long-term freedom while raising four kids and running a lean, effective brokerage.
