Ever hear those career-change stories that sound too good to be true? "Left my boring job, bought a laptop, now I'm making a fortune selling paradise from Bali!" While those stories are fun to dream about, the real path to success – the kind that actually pays the bills and builds lasting businesses – is usually a lot messier, harder work, and honestly, less glamorous.


At Vreeland Real Estate, we know this firsthand. Our top agents didn't magically find their way to the top. They fought for it, step by step, armed with determination and a burning desire to write a new chapter in their lives. Their journeys are proof that real success is built, not wished for – and you might just see your own story reflected in theirs.

From Building Houses to Building Deals

Scott McAnany knew construction inside and out, spending years in the industry. But when the 2008 crash hit, he wasn't just rebuilding homes – he was rebuilding his career. Real estate seemed like a natural fit, but cold calls and chasing leads felt completely foreign. That's when he discovered Vreeland Real Estate's unique "film room" approach. Imagine daily training sessions where objections aren't seen as roadblocks, but as puzzles waiting to be solved. That shift in mindset transformed Scott's approach. Now, he closes over 25 deals a year, focusing on truly advocating for his clients, not just pushing sales pitches. He credits Vreeland's proactive preparation, like mastering crucial financial details before market changes hit, for giving him the resilience he needed to thrive.



In 2024, Scott transacted 28 homes at a total volume of $14,523,475.


Trading the Boardroom for a Brokerage that Backs Her

Amber Brown escaped the cutthroat world of corporate politics after layoffs left her feeling lost and unfulfilled. She tried another brokerage, but the isolation almost broke her spirit. Everything changed when she found Vreeland Real Estate's strong sense of community. Imagine starting your day with a morning Zoom huddle, sharing negotiation tips, and knowing you're part of a team that truly believes in "no agent left behind." This collaborative culture became Amber's lifeline. She now balances a disciplined early morning routine (think sauna and mentorship) with a generous spirit. Believing that "when everyone rises, we all benefit," she actively mentors new agents while consistently managing a robust pipeline.

In 2024, she transacted a whopping 41 homes at a total volume of $14,516,880.


From Billboards to a Deal-Closing Machine

Justin Hahn never planned to leave his Michigan billboard business, but a move to Florida ignited an unexpected passion for real estate. His early years were a tough grind of endless open houses and door-knocking. Then Vreeland Real Estate's structured systems stepped in, replacing guesswork with data-driven precision. AI-powered CRM tools streamlined the tedious admin work, and strong partnerships with lenders and title teams freed him to focus on what mattered most: his clients. Justin lives by a simple but powerful rule: Always answer the phone.

In 2024, he transacted 24 homes at a total volume of $11,153,700.

The Secret Ingredient Isn’t A Secret

Looking at these success stories, one thing becomes crystal clear: we at Vreeland Real Estate are obsessed with preparation. When industry-shaking news like the NAR settlement arrived, our agents were ready. They had been practicing buyer agreements for months. Role-playing tough conversations wasn't just training; it was as routine as their morning coffee. What others saw as a crisis, we saw as just another Tuesday.




Our "always-on" training culture ensures no agent is left to navigate the ever-changing market alone. From real-time troubleshooting of deals to anticipating market trends six months ahead, Vreeland Real Estate operates like a championship sports team, constantly reviewing the game tape and refining every detail.
