Building Business Credit – Stefan Kasian

Stefan Kasian is famous for his moniker "Auction Powers" in the real estate investing world. He is considered an expert when it comes to using eBay and other auction methods when selling homes. Not only that, he has also managed to use auctions to look for tenants. In 2001, after the 9/11 terror attack, he encountered a slump in home sales. He had a whole portfolio that he struggled to move. His real estate business became stagnant. Everything changed though when he discovered the power of using auctions in real estate investing.

Before he was in real estate, he worked on Wall Street. Realizing the profitability of real estate though, he shifted to the industry. "I decided to venture into real estate and after paying my dues and studying with the best of the best, I've never looked back," he said. Stefan has since then closed hundreds of deals with his students. He also has a company and joint ventures that buy, sell, and manage residential and commercial real estate investments.

Stefan Kasian's passion for educating people is very much evident through his published works. He co-authored "Auction Fever: Winning Strategies to Buy, Sell, and Rent Real Estate" with New York Times best-selling author Dr. Dolf de Roos. Apart from de Roos, he has also shared the stage with Ron LeGrand and Kathy Kennebrook, only two of today's elite real estate investing mentors. What makes him stand out among other mentors though is his belief that dreams may be a sign of real estate riches awaiting people.

According to Stefan, who is a faculty member in Psychology at Akamai University, in Hilo, Hawaii, real estate investing allowed him to pursue his dreams of higher education. He now has a PhD in Psychology. "I've had the privilege of traveling the world, enjoying the finer material things in life, and more importantly quality times with friends, family, and loved ones. And that's something money can't buy."
