From Dishwasher to Luxury Real Estate Mogul with Jimmy Widen

In this episode of the What It Takes podcast, I sit down with Jimmy Widen, an absolute powerhouse in the world of luxury real estate. Jimmy’s journey is nothing short of inspiring—from washing dishes at 13 to landing a top sales job in Sweden’s TV industry, to now running a thriving real estate and relocation agency in Marbella, Spain. We dive into his story of spotting a gap in the market, taking bold risks, and building a brand that stands out in one of the most competitive industries out there.Jimmy shares what it really takes to scale a business in a place like Marbella, where most people come for the lifestyle, not the grind. We talk about his approach to offering six-star service, the mindset shift from selling to making clients want to buy, and how he’s expanded to Dubai with a vision for the future. He also opens up about his drive—what fuels him to work 16-hour days, 7 days a week—and the lessons he’s learned about leadership, branding, and closing massive deals.If you’re an entrepreneur, a salesperson, or just someone who loves hearing what it takes to turn a vision into reality, this episode is packed with insights you don’t want to miss.
