The Reason Why I Work So Hard To Be Successful

Hello, I’m Milton Greene, Realtor and Affiliate Broker with Blackwell Realty in Nashville, TN. I have been in the real estate industry for the last 8 years, working with buyers, sellers, developers, and investors. Although, the real estate industry has brought me much success, I come from a very humble upbringing.

Back in 2004, my Dad had a great job, and was making really good money. At one point, we even had the biggest house in our neighborhood. However, things suddenly took a turn when the company that my Dad worked for got absorbed by a large corporation. When that happened, my Dad and some of his coworkers were let go.

Trying to do his best to take care of the family, my Dad decided to start his own business. He opened up a store called Top Ten that sold items that were under ten dollars. Although, the idea was very good, his overall business plan and execution did not work, and the store ended up failing.

We pretty much lost everything, and ended up homeless, having to sleep on the concrete floor of his store. My Dad eventually got a job as a firefighter and things turned around for us. We ended up getting a new house that my parents and sisters still live at to this day.

Although my Dad did the best that he could, I never want my family to have to go through what I did. It’s the thing that drives me everyday: To Give My Family A Better Life Than What I Had.
