Peter Hernandez lives his personal and professional passion for helping people become the most successful versions of themselves that they can be.
Originally the founder and co-president of Teles Properties until it was acquired by Douglas Elliman, Hernandez is widely regarded in the industry as the driving force behind the renowned Teles brand and its highly collaborative company culture, and was responsible for spearheading comprehensive brokerage management there, from marketing, transaction compliance, litigation, and agent coaching to development.
We’ve had many successful agents and managers on the show. Peter is all that. We’ve had social media experts on the show. Peter dominates social with his 231,000 followers on Instagram. But, that’s not what excited us about Peter. We asked him on because he is a phenomenal coach and mentor. Peter is a natural teacher, one of the best. To get a sense of what I mean visit his “Core Truth” video series on Youtube. And, in advance of this week’s show I’d encourage you to sample the videos below, only a minute each.
