On a recent episode of the REI Hacker podcast, Mark Stubler, founder of the Joe Homebuyer franchise, opened up about his path from top salesman to franchise leader. His story is a lesson in risk-taking, resilience, and how entrepreneurship can stretch you into a better version of yourself.
The Leap of Faith
Mark started his career in sales, enjoying the freedom and financial success it offered. But he knew staying comfortable meant staying limited. “If I want more, I’ve got to become more,” he said, describing the mindset shift that pushed him into real estate investing.Finding the Right Partnership
Entrepreneurship wasn’t new to Mark he had already tried his hand at a lawn care business and multi-level marketing. The real breakthrough came when he teamed up with Cody, a former colleague. Together they launched Joe Homebuyer with a simple idea: “Let’s see if 1 plus 1 can equal more than 2.” That partnership became the foundation of a fast-growing franchise.The Joe Way
At the heart of Joe Homebuyer is what Mark calls The Joe Way a commitment to doing business with honesty and transparency. “We won’t force the seller to sell their home if it’s actually better for them to keep it,” Mark explained. It’s an approach that builds trust in an industry where trust is often lacking.Leadership and Growth
For Mark, entrepreneurship isn’t just about profits, it’s about personal transformation. “It requires so much of you to develop new skills both emotionally and in business,” he said. That focus on growth and leadership has fueled Joe Homebuyer’s expansion to more than 75 locations nationwide.
Conclusion
Mark Stubler’s journey shows what happens when ambition meets integrity. He proves that entrepreneurship is less about chasing shortcuts and more about becoming the kind of leader who can create lasting impact. As he put it, “The leadership, the skills, the opportunities I’ve developed, that’s the most rewarding part of the journey.”
