Hi, I'm Erik
Realtor®
In order to commit to a process of growth and development, it's important that you get to know your guide. It's one thing to rattle off your achievements but it's another to share the good, bad and ugly of your journey.
Make no mistake, the "shift storm" is here. And I'm devoting my time, talents and resources to helping agents that are just crazy enough to join me to drive massive growth in their business and life during the wild economic times that are coming.
Here's a little about me and why I'm so passionate about helping agents like you build businesses that allow for true time and money freedom.
It all started with a business degree
After High School, I was off to College! It's what you're suppose to do right?? I graduated from Lee University with my BS in Accounting. I was ready to dive into Corporate America!
Erik Chapman... CPA
CPA... MBA... Retire early and extremely wealthy on a beach somewhere. This was the goal at least... After doing everything from accounting, to auditing, to business analytics, I quickly found that the corporate world wasn't for me. I found myself putting in 60+ hours, tied to a desk, building up some companies brand and increasing their bottom line, but not necessarily mine.
A pivot to real estate
Searching for some relief, in 2019 I made the pivot to real estate. I always had an entrepreneurial drive and a love for building businesses. Real estate seemed like the perfect opportunity. A career with no ceiling and unlimited opportunity!
The reality of real estate
As I began scale, I quickly found out that real estate could be even more demanding. The days were getting longer and longer. Family dinners turned into buyer buyer therapy sessions, and vacation condos just turned into expensive conference rooms. It wasn't exactly how I had imagined it.
Where is my freedom
I got into the business to have more freedom with my finances and with my family. It seemed like every time I succeeded in one area of my life, the other would suffer. Business would be booming, but family time would be neglected... I'd try to turn my phone off and enjoy time with friends only to come back to 15+ text messages and phone calls.
Working harder, not smarter
As I continued to scale, relief continued to diminish. Work started earlier, and ended later every day. My stress level was at an all time high.
I had a lot on the line...
I always dreamed of creating this amazing life for my wife and our future family, and although it seemed I was on the right track from a financial standpoint, I was never "present" in the lives of the ones who I loved.
I've learned sustainable systems
After trying everything under the sun, I've finally been able to find a group where we can grow, build and succeed together. While it wasn't perfect, it was intentional. I finally am on the journey and have the blueprint to true time, financial and location freedom.

The Journey Wasn't Easy & I Made All The Mistakes Possible But Now I Get to Help Others Get There With Less Pain & Struggle
Have you let your family down because of real estate? Are you stressed all the time because of constant deal drama? Are you letting work get in the way of taking care of yourself physically, emotionally and spiritually?
I would often wonder on any given day:
- When will the time I put into real estate pay off financially?
- How can I stop working so many hours, especially nights and weekends?
- How can I find and bring on quality people so I don’t have to do all the work myself?
- How can I stop working IN my business and start working ON my business?
Have You Ever Asked Yourself Questions Like These?
I ask, because there’s quite a bit of misleading information out there in terms of growing your real estate sales business. Most traditional real estate coaching programs teach you how to sell more homes no matter what the consequences are in your personal life. And you end up working more hours to serve the increased demands of your business.
It’s a formula that doesn’t work if you want to have a life outside of real estate.
I was able to build a profitable, systems driven business that allowed me to step up in the areas of life that mattered most to me. And now you can too!
Knowing precisely how rocky my journey was, how many mistakes I made, I knew I could help others get there in half the time — and with less pain and suffering. And so I decided to pass on the wisdom and insights that I learned along the way.
If you are at the point in your journey where you’ve achieved traditional success and it’s just not giving you the time and money freedom you deserve, it’s time to take a different approach.
It’s time to find out what you can do different to build a business worth owning so you have a life worth living.
