Podcast
Running a land business from halfway across the world might sound impossible, but Efrat proves it’s not.
In this episode, Jessey sits down with Efrat, an Israeli land investor and former architect who’s flipping land in the U.S. without ever setting foot there. From navigating a completely different bureaucracy to building a supportive land investing community in Israel, Efrat shares how she turned every obstacle into an advantage.
You’ll hear how she launched her business with zero experience in U.S. real estate, what finally pushed her to hire a VA, and the unique ways she tailors her ads by truly understanding her buyers all while juggling time zones and cultural gaps.
In this episode:
How Efrat built a thriving U.S. land business from Israel
Why cultural awareness makes her a better marketer
What finally convinced her to hire help (and how it changed her business)
The power of learning by doing and mentoring others along the way
