In this episode of the Dream Home Podcast, host John Nagle sits down with legendary REALTOR® Ron Wexler of The Wexler Group Keller Williams Preferred Realty to talk about his incredible journey from breaking into the business during the sky-high interest rates of the 1980s to becoming a national leader and pioneer within Keller Williams.

Ron began his real estate career in 1984 with a vision to build a relationship-based business focused on helping families in the communities he loves. That vision became reality in 2005 when he launched the area’s first Keller Williams office. Since then, he and his partner Tammy have helped Keller Williams grow into the largest real estate company in the U.S.

Today, The Wexler Group is one of the most successful real estate teams in Chicagoland, helping hundreds of families buy and sell homes every year.

We dive into:

• Ron’s early days in real estate when interest rates were 18%
• What it takes to build a scalable, community-based real estate team
• How Ron and Tammy grew a national presence with a local heart
• Sports, Chicago pride, and finding balance in the real estate hustle
