Welcome back to the Forward One Podcast, hosted by Paul Mark Morris and Josh Spitzen of Forward One Real Estate. In this episode, we sit down with David Kramer, one of the most accomplished luxury real estate brokers in the country, to uncover the strategies and mindset that have powered his rise from early struggles to closing record-breaking deals. We dive into how he built a niche in trust and high-liability sales, why mastering the fundamentals matters more than chasing shortcuts, and what it really takes to earn clients’ trust at the highest level. If you want a behind-the-scenes look at how elite agents create lasting success in an ever-changing market, this conversation delivers.
