Interview by Linda Pliagas
Recently our team had the oppor-
tunity to interview one of the most
well-known and respected real estate
entrepreneurs in the industry, Kent
Clothier. We discussed everything
from his upcoming Find and Flip
Summit in January to discovering
who some of Kent’s mentors are.
In this memorable interview, Kent
also shares some touching personal
photos and discussed how real estate
investing can an individual the free-
dom needed in today’s complex world
to fully enjoy family life.
Realty411: What can investors ex-
pect at your Find and Flip Summit
2018?
KENT: The Find & Flip Summit is
all about showing investors how to
take the “next step” towards financial
freedom.
We have an amazing group of
speakers and trainers from around
the country coming – myself, Grant
Cardone, Sean Terry, Pat Precourt,
Justin Colby, Elena Cardone, Chris
Clothier, Brett Tanner, and Frank
McKinney are just a few of the big
names joining us this year.
In fact, at last count, our line-
up has bought and sold over 8,000
properties, sold over $1 Billion in
2017 alone, and manages or owns
rental portfolios valued at over
$1.3 Billion.
It will be the best-of-the-best
and will create massive impact
to the 500 plus attendees we are
expecting.
Realty411: What are some mar-
kets that your team is most inter-
ested in acquiring properties in?
KENT: Memphis, Phoenix, San
Diego, Oklahoma City, Dallas/
Ft. Worth, Houston, Las Vegas,
and Little Rock are just a few of
the markets that we are currently
really focused on.
Realty411: Can you give our read-
ers some advice on how they can
get their investment career to the
next level?
KENT: Pay close attention to
who you are learning from. Do
they have the scars? Do they have
the experience and wisdom you
desire? Are they living the life that
you desire or are they just really
good at marketing?
Your mentors should have bul-
let-proof systems, processes, on-
line trainings, and lead-generation

systems. We have worked really hard over the years at
REWW and Memphis Invest to truly demonstrate what
it takes at every level of the game and to be leaders in
the market for anyone to follow.
Realty411: Who are some of your mentors or people
who have impacted your way of thinking?
KENT: I have had mentors my entire life that have
helped guide my career. My father played a critical
role in early business and leadership development.
He pushed my brothers and I harder than most peo-
ple would think is normal, but it paid off. Outside of
him, there have been a ton. Specifically, Sal Ricciardi,
Roland Frasier, Frank Kern, my uncle – John Blood-
worth.
Realty411: As a real estate entrepreneur, you are
diversified by having an array of products such as
1-800-SELLNOW, Find Motivated Sellers Now, Find
Cash Buyers NOW and Find Private Lenders NOW.
Do you believe in diversifying in different markets as
well for your real estate portfolio?
KENT: I do. I own properties or notes in Florida,
Tennessee, Texas, Arizona, and California. To your
point, I have business interests in many facets of real
estate, digital marketing, online training, software as a
service, an investment fund.
My partners and I are always looking for ways to
expand our reach and add to our portfolio of compa-
nies and properties.
Realty411: Kent, what are some of your goals for
2018 and beyond?

Kent: I am very excited about 2018 and our
road map. We have great outlook and game
plan to continue to expand our reach through
our Boardroom Mastermind program and our
REWW Academy program.
We feel there is a real void in the market
right now and an area that is undeserved.
That area is the “tweener” investor or agent.
What I mean, is there is the huge swath of peo-
ple that know how to do the transactions and
are making some money, but it’s not even close
to being a business. Equally, there are a lot
of people out there that have a great circle of
influence – like a Meetup group or REIA – but
have no idea how to turn it into a business.
No one is talking to these people and
certainly not providing them with real lever-
age points to help them turn the corner and
FINALLY get what they want….financial
freedom. We can do that for them.
We have a highly-acclaimed online train-
ing academy (REWW Academy) that we
have spent an enormous amount of money to
develop over the last two years with a team of
Ph.Ds. We used a proven learning ISD for-
mat (just like they do with college courses)
and brought in the best experts to teach these
classes.
So now, here we are
with this massive asset
that literally anyone in the country
can leverage and point their team
members, new hires, local net-
work, local meetup, or local REIA
club right to it to get trained by the
best in the business.
They can buy it for their own
purposes or sell it as a service to
their group and get paid a commis-
sion by us. Bottom line, it’s “plug
and play” and is a complete “white
glove” business in a box for them.
The same is true of our Board-
room Mastermind This has quickly
become the premier real estate
investing mastermind in the coun-
try with almost 200 members from
around the country.
Again, it’s an easy place for people to get their
teams trained by the best, rub shoulders with the
brightest and most successful investor network in the
country, and help to grow and monetize their own
network if they desire.
In closing, I’d like to point out that we have invest-
ed in a lot of infrastructure, so others won’t have to.
They simply need to step into our world and let us
show them how to make it their own.
Realty411: How did you and your family turn your
real estate passion into an empire? When did you
decide to leave your previous occupations and focus
only on real estate?
KENT: We all came into the business in the early
2000s in different cities and for different reasons. I
was in South Florida, Chris was in Denver, and my
father was in Memphis. It wasn’t until the mid 2000s
that we really began to understand that we were
doing something unique with our business model, our
marketing, and our customer service. At that point, we
turned the corner and went all in and decided we are
going to become leaders in this industry because, quite
frankly, there was just a sea of mediocrity out there,
and we couldn’t stand it. >
6. Realty411: What are some of your favorite ways to
unwind and rejuvenate?
KENT: I love to hang with my wife and kids. Love
to go to the beach here in San Diego, go paddle
boarding, or just travel the world.
Realty411: Real estate is a relationship-based
business, what are some ways investors can create
rapport to enhance their careers?
KENT: Decide what your core values really are
and only communicate from that place. What do
you stand for? What do you stand against? Why are
you doing what you’re doing? Why does your busi-
ness matter? What impact are you trying to create
in the market?
You see, people want to belong. We are all look-
ing for our tribe and want to surround ourselves
with people that inspire us or make us feel better
about life. So, being clear on who you are first and
then being very “out there’ with that information,
allows people to quickly connect with you.
It also allows you to cut through all the noise
and confusion and just surround yourself with peo-
ple that are going to build you up, make you better,
and make this business more successful. It will also
allow you to easily run off the naysayers and time
vampires. They won’t want anything to do with
you. Best part, either way – you win.
Realty411: You’ve stepped back from speaking at
many events, how can our readers learn from you
if they cannot attend a live event?
Kent: We are not hard to find. We have hundreds
of YouTube videos, Facebook posts, blog posts,
articles, and a big social media presence. Go look
up “Kent Clothier” or “Real Estate Worldwide” and
you’ll find a ton of stuff out there.
But in the end, there’s nothing like one of our live
events and getting that “raw and uncut” informa-
tion straight from the horses mouth. Do whatever it
takes to get there, but I’ll make it worth your time.
Guaranteed. :)

best parts of being a real estate investor is the freedom to
spend time with family. In these photos Seema, his wife, along
