Meet Steve Depa: Brokerage Owner to Cash Flowing Real Estate Investor

Listen to his mastermind group introduction:

Meet Steve Depa: Brokerage Owner to Cash Flowing Real Estate Investor
29:24


I'd
like to introduce you to Steven Depa, who's coming down to San Diego Oct 2-3 for the mastermind meeting.

Steve and I connected at the Mike Ferry Superstart Retreat in Vegas this summer, where we both attended as alumni. 
 
Steve is a partner of a 45-person investment group that owns 2,000 units. For the past 30 years, he's been buying "things that people don't want and turning them into things people want" with the goal of 6% return on equity.
 
He earns a passive income in the high six figures from his efforts today.
 
Steve, without question, will be our commercial real estate investment expert in the room. He's happy to show you how to source deals and how to review them properly. He also ran a RE/Max office in Chino, CA for years, and still represents buyers and sellers with their home sale.
 
He needs help with hiring virtual assistants, utilizing AI, and would appreciate anyone's insight on repurposing retail stores for their highest and best use (fulfillment centers, last-mile distribution, etc). Please help him with that if you can.
 
Overall, his goal is to maximize the returns on his investments while
simplifying his life so he isn't involved in the day-to-day grind of listing and selling homes (but can still navigate the transaction part, which he enjoys)
 
I shared in this interview that I would love to sign up for www.DepasDeals.com
to teach me commercial real estate and to get on his VIP Buyer list
to get the first call when a potential opportunity comes up. Encourage him to start that.
 
I'll be your first subscriber, Steve! :) See you in San Diego.

Look what we built for Joshua >

Joshua Holt, a real estate agent in Madison, Wisconsin, needed a better way to stay in touch with all his past clients, sphere, and lead nurtures in his CRM database.

He didn't have time to make one-to-one phone calls to everyone, so he decided to communicate one-to-many to leverage his time better.

He decided that sending out helpful videos was the best way to do that.

Specifically, he wanted a 36-touch database marketing plan properly executed with minimal effort on his part, so he hired us to help him.

How John Bolos Helps His Agents Generate Listings From Their Database

By Frank Klesitz in Client Success on Jul 31, 2025

[fa icon="comment"] 0 Comments


John Bolos runs a 45-agent real estate team in Charlotte, North Carolina. After one of his top agents left the team due to a lack of personal brand support, John realized he needed to offer more value to retain high performers. That insight led him to expand his work with us, not just for his own database marketing (he's a client), but to proactively provide done-for-you database video marketing for his top six agents with our Vyral Marketing for Teams program. Here's an interview with John on how his team model is set up for success – you'll learn how he brings in newer agents working Zillow leads (under their strict accountability) and builds them up into successful listing agents generating their own appointments. “I want my agents to build their own brand, not mine”, he says. "You guys help my experienced agents do that."

Look what we built for Greg >

Greg Smith is the broker/owner of RE/MAX Alliance in Boulder.

He hired us to help him book more perfect-fit agent recruiting appointments by publishing helpful training videos to his warm agent list with our system.

We built him a real estate agent training video blog and interviewed him to create two helpful business coaching videos and one lead-generation message a month.

We put them on his YouTube, social media, and Apple podcast and promoted them with video emails, video postcards, and Facebook video retargeting ads.

Greg follows up with the email clicks, leads generated from his offers, and any agents who reach out to him to schedule agent business planning meetings.

Nick Berard, a solo agent in Bellingham, Washington, sold nine homes in the first half of 2024. "It was a down year for me like most in the industry. I only sold 18 homes last year." Nick decided to go all in on his database to build his 2025 pipeline. He asked us to handle his video database marketing so he could get back on the phone. At the time of this interview (June 2025), he's sold 21 homes with three pending this year. We helped him reactivate over 3,500 contacts, close deals from past clients he hadn’t spoken to in years, and speak to the niche needs of Canadian sellers at scale. Watch the interview to learn how Nick did it.
