#214: What Is Going On In The Charlotte Market & How To Stay Ahead - Jordan Smith

From pre-med to pastor to $108,000 in wholesale fees in a single month — Jordan Smith has never taken the straight path. And that's exactly why it worked. In this episode, Chris sits down with Jordan Smith, a Charlotte-based real estate investor and agent who has flipped, wholesaled, and developed his way through every market condition since 2019. Jordan went from being furloughed during COVID to closing 30 wholesale deals in a single month, pivoting to fix-and-flip when institutional buyers disappeared, and now building luxury spec homes in the $750K+ range. He's one of the sharpest market minds in Charlotte — and he's not sugarcoating what's happening right now. In this episode you'll learn: How Jordan went from medical device sales to pastoral work to full-time real estate investor Why he considers himself an investor first and an agent second — and why that matters How his team closed 30 wholesale deals in one month with fees hitting $108,000 Why institutional buyers leaving the market in 2023 was actually an opportunity His current strategy targeting pre-foreclosures before they hit the courts Why he's focused on luxury spec homes in the $750K+ range right now What Jordan thinks happens to the Charlotte market if rates drop below 6% His advice for new investors: stop waiting for perfect timing and treat early losses as tuition 🔗 Connect with Jordan Smith: Instagram: @jordansmithsc 🎙️ Follow Chris: Instagram: @chris.reichenbach TikTok: @chris.reichenbach #RealEstateInvesting #CharlotteRealEstate #LeadwayPodcast #RealEstatePodcast #WealthBuilding #Wholesaling #FixAndFlip #PreForeclosure #LuxuryRealEstate #NewConstruction #RealEstateStrategy #FinancialFreedom #RealEstateInvestor #Entrepreneurship #EscapeThe9to5 #RealEstateTips #MarketUpdate #PropertyInvesting #RealEstateAgent #BuildingWealth
