Mike Venereo is the Owner of Rockwood Investment Group and has been dabbling in real estate since 2013 but finally took the plunge and made the commitment to succeed in 2016. With a team of seven under him, Mike has been learning a lot about what it takes to be a good leader and how to structure his company so it’s not the wild, wild West! As with any company, it’s definitely a learning experience and Mike shares what he’s learned so far and how he has shifted his mindset for the better.

“I was tippy-toeing around everything but I wasn’t committed. I didn’t go into it until about 2016.”

“There’s no safety in entrepreneurship; there’s no safety in having a job! It’s unsafe unless you make it happen.”

“We are putting a lot of attention on the follow-up game, putting a lot of attention on being the first ones to speak to the agent when deals get listed. We put a lot of attention on building a relationship.”
