I really like your answer!  Me, probably Donald Trump.  Hey, he's still a real estate guy and the leader of the free world.  That's a two-for-one!

Well, I've had dinner with Larry Kendal of Ninja Selling and The Group

I've had lunch and played golf with Brian Buffini Buffini & Company 

I've had breakfast with Michael E. Gerber of The E-myth Fame

So, I guess all that leaves for me is my Grandma (Mom's Mom), God rest her soul, I'd want her back for a day because she taught me much of what I know in real estate...both my Grandmas were brokers...but I had 30 more years with my Dad's Mom than my Mom's.

Hmm, Donald Trump, Warren Buffett.

All small timers when considering the reality of the real estate agent.

So I cast my vote for Jeff Bezos. Understanding how people respond is the basis of marketing which IS the essence of real estate.
