Winning in Real Estate with Integrity w/ Dennis Mark Interdonato

In this episode of Call The Damn Leads, I chop it up with New Jersey real estate powerhouse Dennis Mark Interdonato—a dude who proves that staying ethical, real, and resilient in sales is the ultimate cheat code.

We get into a WILD 3-year real estate deal that nearly broke every rule in the book—and how Dennis stayed in the fight, showed up with integrity, and kept doing the damn work even after being fired. We dive deep on buyer psychology, double agency ethics, and how to forecast like a damn professional (hint: follow the data, not the hype).

If you’re in real estate, sales, or just trying to do the right thing while building a legacy, this one’s for you.
