Arthur Tyszka (00:00.263)
They just throw you out there.
Joe Oz (00:03.134)
Yeah, we're here dude. Alright, cool. I am I'm here with Arthur. Why don't you go ahead and introduce yourself,
Arthur Tyszka (00:13.575)
So Arthur Tishka all the way from North Jersey. I co-lead a team with my mother here in Wayne particularly in the North Jersey area. We work out of the Keller Williams Market Center. We have a team of about seven, eight people roughly and
for last year, our numbers were 50 million in sales volume for 150 transactions. This year we're projected to do closer to 65 to 70 million. Don't know the number of transactions yet, but we're working there. I've been doing real estate for about 10 years. I'm a father, I'm married man, dog dad. I love what I do, I love real estate.
You know, and that's kind of just the gist of it, really.
Joe Oz (01:09.102)
Cool man, tell me about, you're like a new father. You just said that you're a dad, right? That's like brand new. Can you tell us about that?
Arthur Tyszka (01:17.343)
Yes, yeah. So Charlotte, my daughter, first daughter, she is, thank you, she is five weeks old. So brand new. She was born May 26th on Memorial Day, which is pretty cool. Yeah, went a little bit past the due date, but you know, we got in there.
Joe Oz (01:23.63)
Cool name.
Joe Oz (01:36.888)
That's awesome.
Arthur Tyszka (01:44.08)
you know, she came out, it was a very intense process, I have to say, you know, first time, you know, for my wife and I, so we didn't know what to expect and, you know, everything's happening so quick and it's all emotional and, you know, all that kind of stuff. But yeah, once Charlotte was born, I feel like the world just kind of stopped and you just like, you know, you're looking with your eyes on, you know.
Joe Oz (02:07.724)
Yeah.
Arthur Tyszka (02:12.795)
this new human life on your your wife, you know. So it was incredible. Obviously, the first week was a little tough coming from the hospital, right? Like, you know, you just figure things out, right? Especially for the first one, the sleep is all over the place. You know, you're just like scrambling. But literally, yeah, but literally, I got right back to work that same weekend, you know, and, you know, God bless my wife, she's amazing and was able to pick up the slack of, you know, just taking care of our child and
Joe Oz (02:29.293)
Ha ha!
Arthur Tyszka (02:42.215)
I was locked and loaded and doing open houses that weekend. It's been a whirlwind, but you get really adjusted. You get adjusted and you get more into it as time goes on.
Joe Oz (02:59.339)
Yeah, I think we learn a lot, right, when you become, when I became a father, what you just said about your wife, right? What's your wife's name? Sam. My wife's name's Nicole. Dude, I had a mentor who was like...
Arthur Tyszka (03:06.887)
Sam.
Joe Oz (03:12.791)
When I beg my wife, she'd be like, what's her name? Why don't you just say your wife's name instead of saying my wife? But you don't own her. I was like, all right, all right, dude, don't know, But I think it's like that Beyonce song who runs the world, girls, right? Like when that, like they create human life, keep it alive. Like it's bonkers where I'm like, okay.
I get who's, and instinctively they just know how to do everything, right? That's why you can go do an open house, because she knows how to keep humans alive that they create, right? It's pretty wild, I love it. And I think for me, man, we have two boys, have Milo, Max, nine and four, well, Max is almost four, but that's like...
Arthur Tyszka (03:40.475)
Yeah.
Joe Oz (03:55.16)
That's a, like, when you see a baby being born, dude, that's a miracle. Like, that's the closest thing, I think, to like a real life miracle. I don't think there's ever been more of like a holy shit moment in my life than this.
Arthur Tyszka (04:10.459)
Yeah, my heart dropped when the baby came out. I was just like, in awe. mean, like, it's the craziest rush of emotions. You can't describe the feeling. It's incomparable to anything, right? I mean, maybe you can get a similar adrenaline rush and you get like an accepted offer out of like 50 offers. You know, but it's not like that, right? It's like that feeling times 10, right? So it's...
Joe Oz (04:14.007)
Hahahaha
Joe Oz (04:27.531)
HAHAHAHA!
Arthur Tyszka (04:35.463)
It's just honestly wild, but God bless. I'm just very grateful for my wife, Sam, and our beautiful daughter, Charlotte, who is healthy, and I couldn't ask for more.
Joe Oz (04:48.139)
Yeah, we're so blessed, So your second generation realtor, your mom's crushing it, your young guy, right? Your young guy just turning and burning. What made you, so you had choices, right? You saw your mom doing real estate, you had choices, right? I assume, well, you all have choices. So it's like, yeah, what attracted you? could've, yeah, for sure.
Arthur Tyszka (05:07.311)
Yeah, we always have a choice on what we want to do in life, right? Like, you know, I can get up and walk right now. Right? We always have choices, free will.
Joe Oz (05:17.015)
Correct. So what was the thing where it's like, there had to have been something, right? Like what's the thing where it's like, I'm gonna do this. This looks really attractive to me, I'm gonna do this. I have all the things that I could do. Now I'll say this, can I preface this? Because when I got my license in 2008 and the majority of the people that were getting their license were like, dude it was kind of like a plan B. Like something else didn't work out for me. I was doing a different.
Career it didn't work out and my buddy was doing real estate. I'll do real estate, right? And it wasn't necessarily like a cool like real estate's kind of cool now, right? There's TV reality shows suits Tesla Tesla's like all this stuff, right? It wasn't really like that, right? And so I think um You know you um, you obviously had some choices man, and you could probably you're a talented guy You could have done a lot of things what what made you go this route?
Arthur Tyszka (05:53.359)
Yeah
with how.
Arthur Tyszka (06:09.831)
It's a good question and you know, I wish there was like an inspirational answer I could give but to be honest with you, you know, wasn't the best student. I'm gonna say that upfront. Didn't know what I was gonna do, you know, out of high school. I really wasn't prepped very well, you know. My parents came here with nothing as immigrants, right? They came from Poland, very young age in their early 20s.
with like 200 bucks in their pocket, right? I guess back then 200 bucks was something, right? But no language, no nothing, right? Just looking for a better life for their kids and everything. And I'm the oldest, right? I have one younger brother and I kinda just had to figure things out as I went, because my parents wouldn't be like, yeah, Rutgers or...
you know, maybe you want to go to University of Michigan or some big, you know, they didn't know about it. They even know how to direct me to apply for a college, right? Like I just, I was always just getting by, right? You know, so it's like, but my parents knew how to work, right? My father was in construction and my mother got her real estate license. And you know, funny enough, my mom got her real estate license because my parents were building houses and they were, you know,
Joe Oz (07:15.926)
Wow.
Arthur Tyszka (07:34.471)
they were getting some steam and momentum and they, know, O8 happened, right? And my mom feels she was wronged by a realtor at the time who was advising them and helping them. I actually remember the realtor. I don't know if she's in business anymore. It wasn't somebody like huge that we know today.
Joe Oz (07:56.779)
Shout them out, we'll take them down right now. Shout them out.
Arthur Tyszka (07:58.759)
You know, so the house that, you know, my parents built up became unsellable. Basically, this is around when the market crashed. So, you know, they had we had to move into this house actually, and we kept another house that they were living in as a rental because they always wanted to come back to that area, which is in Wayne, New Jersey, and we ended up moving to West Milford, New Jersey. So, you know, we're living there and that's what motivated her to get her her license, her real estate license, because she felt like she could do better.
So she actually got inspired by a bad realtor to become her own realtor. So, you know, obviously oh wait, happened all that kind of stuff, you know, so she, got into the business somewhere around that time. I think it was like 2005 or so or ish, right? Oh wait, happened. And you know, she was, she was doing very good. And, know, as I got older, you know, navigating through high school, I actually got, you know, she mentioned to me is, you know, I really show any major interests in like, you know, like a practical field, like engineering or.
Joe Oz (08:30.24)
I love it.
Wow.
Arthur Tyszka (08:58.843)
mathematics or whatever, know, science, you know, I was never into that stuff. was barely getting by in high school. So she said, you know, why don't you get your real estate license? Come help me out. You know, cause at the time, you know, my mom was doing maybe $10 million in volume and sales, you know, she was doing good, you know, nothing like incredible where like, you know, you know, in New Jersey, there's like, I don't know if it's like this in Cali, but like, you know, you have your bronze, silver, gold platinum, right. she was. Yeah.
Joe Oz (09:23.584)
Yo, that's silver, That's pretty good. Yeah.
Arthur Tyszka (09:26.279)
She was doing silver, you know, she was doing silver probably like pretty consistently, maybe bronze here and there. You know, and I got licensed and really for the beginning of it, I just was doing like paperwork and you know, all these kinds of different things. I mean, I was 18 years old and you know, how am going to, you know, advise someone to buy a house, right? Cause you know, and this is at, you know, I've been licensed for 10 years now. You know, I got licensed 2015 different.
Joe Oz (09:52.684)
That's crazy.
Arthur Tyszka (09:54.353)
different than what it is today. Like you said, real estate is like sexy now and it's like Instagrammable, it's like all over social media. It was not like that. I was 18 at the time and there was, you know, the people in the office were pretty much, everybody was very old, know, much older than even you are, Joe. you know, for real estate, back then, you'd be the young guy. You know, you'd be the young guy in the office, you know? Like I was a literal baby.
Joe Oz (10:14.604)
Thank you,
Arthur Tyszka (10:19.889)
But I was already coming into the office well before then, you know, like even before I was licensed, my mom would always be bringing us around and just, you know, I knew all these people. People knew me like, you know, so young and it's so funny when I do some deals now with realtors that, you know, knew me at such a young age. It's like a total like, you know, 180 for them. like, my gosh, you know, now you're like this young professional like doing deals with me and everything. So it's cool. But going back to like why I got into it.
Joe Oz (10:40.716)
That's awesome.
Arthur Tyszka (10:49.671)
It's just basically my mom just needed help, right? I didn't think much of it and basically just gave me a trials because I was going to college at the same time too. I thought I would take an interest in politics. Like I really like to, you know, talk and you know, get into like, you know, real life issues and I felt passion for that. This was before obviously politics is what it is today. I think it's gone a little too crazy for me where I can't really keep up with it. Back then it was a little bit more civilized and maybe, you know,
more coherent, you know? So I was thinking I was gonna get into it then. But then I started falling in love with real estate. You know, I was doing open houses, not really having much traction, but I picked up my first ever client who I still talk to to this day from an open house. She lives actually around the corner from me, funny enough, and we see each other every so often. And...
Joe Oz (11:39.03)
Wow.
Arthur Tyszka (11:44.111)
She was a realtor herself like a while ago and you know she could tell I was obviously young and experienced all that kind of stuff and she actually just gave me a chance. I told her she would be my first deal and she wanted me to basically be her like for her to be my first client. So she was very nice and gracious for that. I still appreciate her to this day because it gave me that confidence.
Joe Oz (12:00.723)
Nice.
Arthur Tyszka (12:08.327)
Like when I got that commission check, I'm like, holy crap, that's a lot of money. Like back then, you know, even like, I think the house was like 250, right? So the house, Layla. Yeah, shout out Layla.
Joe Oz (12:14.845)
Yeah, what was her name? Layla, shout out Layla. We all have a Layla, dude. We all have someone that believed in us, man. And you never, dude, take a chance on somebody because they will never forget you, right?
Arthur Tyszka (12:26.767)
I'll never forget her. still, like I said, talk to her. I'm trying to sell her daughter a house now. But, know, listen, I mean, the house she owns, I mean, it doubled in value now. So like, think she bought something good. You know, but like, yeah, she just took a chance on me and it really got like me going. And I was like, you know, maybe I can do this, you know, maybe this is the confidence I needed. And, you know,
Joe Oz (12:34.175)
You're gonna make them rich. You're gonna make them all rich, dude. They're gonna make them all wealthy.
Joe Oz (12:42.419)
Yeah, yeah, for sure.
Arthur Tyszka (12:55.257)
It was a slow process, I would say like probably like right before we even joined Keller, because we were at Weicker before, you that's where we started. I wasn't like doing the most business or anything like that, but like I was, you know, getting deals here and there and figuring it out. But our business really started to took off once we jumped to Keller, because that's when I started taking myself more seriously. My mom started taking more things more seriously. And
From there, we built a bigger and bigger team. there, we started doing, we took my mom's production from 10 million, now going on to 20, then 30, 40, right? And now we're doing 50 million, which we did last year. And like I said, hopefully gonna be projected to do around the 65, 70 million. It doesn't happen without Layla.
Joe Oz (13:53.71)
For sure, for sure.
Arthur Tyszka (13:54.895)
Like, and it's like the principle we said, it's not her particularly, but the first person to believe in me and to give me that confidence to know that I can do this and to just start putting our heads together between my mom and I and just building out what we have today. So, you know, and it just also comes with that work ethic too, right? We've always like pounded the glass, like we're like, we're into it 24 seven, seven days a week. Like, you know, we're here, we're out there.
Tomorrow is 4th of July, right? I'm sure a lot of people are going to be enjoying with their families and everything. for me, it's like I have appointments lined up in the morning, right? I'm going to be working probably even later in the day. That's my life. And I love it. I have a passion for it. I'm all about realism. I love helping people because I helped Leila get into a good situation. And I'm thankful for that because
Joe Oz (14:34.239)
Mm-hmm.
Arthur Tyszka (14:51.877)
She believed in me for one. secondly, I was able to help her in her life. So that's the way I see my career. I love helping people. I love making people feel like great. And I love like winning negotiations and just getting the clients on top, you know? So that feeling alone has been a driver for me. And it's only evolved from here. And now it's like, you know, how you connected with me and you're helping me in that space. It's the same thing when
you know, now we're running a team and we're helping our agents grow as well. You know, we just recently brought on an agent this year who did three deals last year. He's doing three to four deals a month now with our models. So yeah, it's that's exciting to see too. He's very like relative with me with conversions, right? With our Legion sources. So it's just incredible to see. So not only helping agents now, also obviously helping our dear clients.
Joe Oz (15:30.965)
Wow, congratulations.
Joe Oz (15:50.795)
So to go from like 10 million, but I love your energy by the way, to go, I got so many things I wanna ask you, but to go from 10 to 20, to go to 10, so 50 million or more, that's a very exclusive club, right? Like you just talked about Circle of Excellence. I don't necessarily love these arbitrary like awards things. But no, no, no, don't hear me out, right?
Arthur Tyszka (16:08.64)
I hear you but it's something like you
Joe Oz (16:13.707)
Well, the way that I always felt about it, and I'll make this quick because it's not even the point, is that it stops at like 20 million. 20 million is like platinum, right? So essentially what's happening is this outside source that's not in sales, they're doing this. And it's nice, it's cool. Everyone wants to feel good and recognize achievements and things like that. But I looked around the room when I did it, I was like, everyone just kind of stopped. They essentially put a ceiling on everyone. Like 20 million is the best you could do. It's like, wait a minute, there's people, I remember being like, oh my God, this guy in Atlanta is doing 500 million. Like, what, dude?
That's why I joke around about it and I also think it's a little antiquated. you don't see many 50 millions in that room, right? There isn't even an award for that. So that's like you're on real trends, you're real trends verified, all these things. So to go from taking your mom's book, which by the way, for her to get 10 million.
You know, and so the answer is like your family is in real estate. Your dad's building houses. Your mom's like, he's like, honey, go sell this house I built. You know, it's like, all right, fine. You know? Um, and the really cool part is, is when someone goes and gets their real estate license, cause they had a bad experience. I believe that they, I believe that that person, your mom, right. Just kind of sees that like, this is a, this is a prestigious industry. This is a big deal. This is a big decision. Right. And let's take it seriously. And also the perception of a realtor or the real estate industry is not that great.
Arthur Tyszka (17:12.795)
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Joe Oz (17:33.485)
to outside consumer, right? And we can improve that, right? Like we can do work, right? To elevate the entire industry. But to go from 10 million to 50 million, that's, dude, you're a young guy, you're 28. 28, 28, you're...
Arthur Tyszka (17:45.319)
28, yeah. I honestly have to think about it because you just lose track of time. But yeah, 28.
Joe Oz (17:49.351)
Yeah, that's crazy, When I was your age, I was probably waking up on like the wrong porch in my neighborhood, right? It's probably. I grew up in the Jersey Shore, man. So like you go like Belmar or whatever and you like.
Arthur Tyszka (17:56.999)
been there than that, you know, I got that out of my system much younger, I think.
Joe Oz (18:06.11)
think you're in right house but you're not, you're sleeping on somebody else's couch. Anyway, 10 to 12, 10 million to 50 million, taking your mom's book, right, that she built up through relationships and working hard and things like that. How do you do that, man? Like that's not, that just doesn't happen. That's really impressive, by the way.
Arthur Tyszka (18:24.497)
Thank you. think the biggest reason that we were able to scale so much, just even when it was just the two of us, is I was able to emulate her style of selling real estate and showing the care, getting repeat clients to always come back to us, just adapting her knowledge and just even being able to bounce ideas off with one another really helped the both of us grow even quicker. It basically allowed...
one of us to be in two places at once, right? Like, so we became very similar in the way we sell. So, you know, my mom was always top agent at Weicker and the fact that she was able to like basically, you know, in a sense mold me into, yeah, mold me into, you know, an agent similar like her. And then I also come in with a younger vibe and, you know, bring in new ideas and, know, charisma, right? All the energy.
Joe Oz (19:00.766)
Wow.
Joe Oz (19:06.568)
Molts of the ab-
Arthur Tyszka (19:21.319)
it allowed us basically to be able to handle more clients in a more effective manner. And obviously like it just led to more opportunities and listen, it just comes down to now we're able to handle like a demographic that's older that wants a more professional season agent and also demographic that wants maybe the younger agent that's quicker, faster, whatever and you're able to work with those first time home buyers a lot easier, right? So we were able to grab just a whole bigger
of clients, You know, so it basically allowed us to be in two places at once, right?
Joe Oz (19:57.419)
Yeah, so what I'm hearing is, uh, do divide and conquer and then you keep the same standards or elevate the standard, right? Um, that's great, man. Um, you said repeat clients as if that's easy, right? A lot of agents sell houses and then they never talk. They never talk to their see, you could have called them.
past clients, right? Like we don't call them past clients because they're still, you call it repeat clients. hope whoever's listening to this catches that because that was very strategic, right? So how, I'm an agent dude, I'm my first year, I've had a good year, I'm closing like doing 10 deals, right? How do I make these consumers, how do I make them clients for life? Because it sounds like that's something you do really well.
Arthur Tyszka (20:44.485)
Yeah, I guess it depends on the client, right? What we're really good at doing is, know, anybody that has an ambition to be an investor in real estate, we're really good at obviously converting them into repeat clients for us. I mean, it's gone to the point where our vendors use us for their real estate purposes, like our lawyers, lenders, all that kind of stuff, right? Because they just know we bring a higher level of expertise when it comes to the investment of real estate, because, you know, I'll
Joe Oz (21:11.604)
Wow.
Arthur Tyszka (21:13.339)
debate this all day long, know, your primary residence, any piece of real estate, anything that you're going to own is an investment, you know, and a lot of people say, that's a liability. It's this, it's an expense. Absolutely not. And I say this until I'm blue in the face, you you owning that real estate is, it's such a critical point of your life. It's a huge investment. So, you know, to your question about repeat clients, we
guide in such an effective manner that they're drawn to us, right? So like, you you successfully help them on a sale. People will remember that. Obviously we do like the gifts, we're calling them, we're checking in, we add them on social media, we're telling them happy birthday, you know, like we're just, we're just getting integrated into their lives as well. But it's, it's more about how you're going to take care of them during the deal. Like if you're standoffish in the deal and you're just there to collect the check, open the door.
Joe Oz (21:42.355)
Hmm.
Joe Oz (22:00.573)
Wow.
Arthur Tyszka (22:09.102)
Yeah, of course, they're gonna forget about you. But if you help them make real money and improve their lives and created generational wealth for them, you don't think you're gonna remember somebody like that? You're not gonna wanna pick up the phone and be like, that realtor really helped me out. That realtor changed my life, changed my family's life. They're gonna call you. That's how you get repeat clients. That's how, it's so funny.
You know, we did 50 million in volume last year with 150 units. Half of them were rentals because half like all those rentals are investors that we've sold multifamilies to. We buy multifamilies ourselves. We invest in real estate ourselves. So like we're passionate about it. Like we don't just sell to sell. We sell on the fact that we're doing it too. Like I always speak from a standpoint of personal experience. If I wouldn't do it.
I'm not gonna tell you to do it. You know what I mean? Like I always try to put myself in the client's shoes and see what's gonna best fit them for their lifestyle. And if I don't feel like it's gonna work for them, I'm gonna say it, but like, listen, at the end of the day, if a client wants something, they're gonna want it, right? You know, everybody's different. Everybody perceives differently, but you you can give them at least a general guide of what to expect and how things could play out.
Joe Oz (23:29.885)
Dude, I think you're a true consummates. I think you're a true professional, man. And like, it makes me think.
Dude, I was interviewing brokers to purchase a building, just commercial stuff, right? In Southern California. And I met with a handful of brokers and went to their offices. I finally found one that's awesome, right? But every one, I think it was four in a row, they just met me and then put me on an automatic drip search. And then never called me again, dude.
Arthur Tyszka (24:03.663)
That's the thing too. I don't do any auto like sending properties to anybody. I hand pick like properties for people. Like I'll have a whole list of people that are looking for properties. Like I'll have like a spreadsheet or something and like color coded all that kind of stuff. And if a property comes up, I'm I not only send it to them, I'm calling them. I'm saying like, like it's active selling, you know what I mean? And I'm telling them.
Joe Oz (24:24.979)
Dude.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Arthur Tyszka (24:30.501)
why it's a good buy. have a good friend of mine right now, she's looking for an investment condo and she's like on off spacey, always travels. She's this young professional, right? She's always all over the place. And I'm like literally bringing her in. like, you know, I said, I said, we need to get you into something. I said, my office has an awesome opportunity. It's a new construction development. The first one in 40 years in this great area, like.
Joe Oz (24:41.469)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Arthur Tyszka (24:56.859)
Let's go see it. It's not gonna cost you anything. let's just go out there and take a look. Take an hour out of your day. I know you're super busy, but just give me some time and let me show you this place. You're gonna thank me for it in the years to come. So it's actively selling. You have to care about what you're doing, right? You can't just wait for the client to text you the Zillow link, like, hey, can we see this house? Obviously you have clients like that here and there, but like, if you wanna perform at a higher level,
Joe Oz (25:13.481)
Cheers, OAS.
Joe Oz (25:19.675)
Yeah, God, dude.
Arthur Tyszka (25:25.403)
You have to care about what you're doing and you have to genuinely believe in what you're selling. Because if you don't believe, know, you feel like you're ripping somebody off and I don't feel like ripping you
Joe Oz (25:35.498)
Bro, I'm gonna take that clip and put it in the Oz Group University and I'm gonna do it onboarding for agents, they're gonna have to watch that clip, right? Like, yo, no automatic searches, you ding-dongs. Like, hey, Mary, I just saw 123 Banana Street and I think it'd be a perfect fit. When are you available? Go see it. Tonight at six or tomorrow at 10, right? Like, hey, because of...
Arthur Tyszka (25:43.335)
You've gotta believe.
Arthur Tyszka (25:57.271)
Yeah, and you don't ask would you want to see it, when do you want to see
Joe Oz (26:00.753)
Yeah, when do you want to go? You know what? You wanted a pool. You want to be close to the school. You want to be close to the train station. You wanted one level. This is checking a lot of boxes.
Arthur Tyszka (26:07.291)
You want to ask the questions in a way where you don't give a client the option to say no, like does the Saturday at one work or Sunday at 12? Like what's better for you? You know, like you're just more direct about it. Listen, listen, it's a sales job like anything else. Of course we have to like be salespeople, but you don't have to be a slime ball. You know what I mean? Like you have to care.
Joe Oz (26:14.865)
Yeah. Yeah, the assumed close. It's called assumed close, right?
Joe Oz (26:28.201)
Like my son will say to me, I'll be like, dad, when are we going to get ice cream? Today at 12 or tomorrow at one or whatever? I'm like, 100 % dude, yeah, he's trained, yeah, 100%. He said to me today, he's nine, he's cleaning up the kitchen and his job is to unload the dishwasher and he left a few things out. He didn't know where they go and I was like, Milo, I looked at him and I was like, what am I gonna say? He goes.
Arthur Tyszka (26:33.359)
Your son says that?
That's awesome. That's awesome. That's awesome.
Joe Oz (26:50.323)
How you do anything is how you do everything. And I'm like, that's right, buddy. Let's do it all the way. I'm like, this is gonna help you in life. Let's do it all the way, man. Let's do it all the way. And he's like, all right. That was great, thank you. I needed to hear that, I think. What would you, dude, I'm gonna ask you this. What is the biggest opportunity that real estate agents are missing? Where are they like dropping the ball?
Arthur Tyszka (26:59.748)
yeah.
Arthur Tyszka (27:18.983)
buying property themselves. One million percent. Dude, my God, like, you know what's crazy? I work in an office with a realtor. I'm not gonna name them. They're realtor for like 40 years. Can you believe that they've never owned a home?
Joe Oz (27:21.299)
Can you talk about that? Yeah, that's good.
Joe Oz (27:30.673)
Yeah, don't do it.
Joe Oz (27:37.927)
Yeah, I believe it.
Arthur Tyszka (27:40.56)
How are you selling real estate? You know, like how do you don't even know what it's like to sign the closing disclosure?
Joe Oz (27:46.611)
Bro, I was like, yeah, you...
Arthur Tyszka (27:50.087)
Listen, listen, listen, we don't have guaranteed income. I think that's like the biggest perception. Like people think our broker pays us. I mean, they do, but we don't get like salary. Like if I don't sell, I don't make money. So, you know, if in order to cushion your lifestyle, buy a rental property, buy a multifamily or, know, the way I did it, right. It's called house hacking nowadays. I don't even know what that was when I was doing this.
Joe Oz (27:58.088)
Yeah.
Arthur Tyszka (28:14.853)
I bought a multifamily, lived in the smaller unit and rented out the bigger unit. My monthly mortgage was 300 bucks after all the income I was getting. 300 bucks, I think I could make that work. One commission check will get me by for maybe half a year.
Joe Oz (28:27.036)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And then you can move out and do it again. Like, yeah, you can do all that. You know, man, I look back on it and it was like, yeah, the only regret is I wish I bought more real estate, right? Especially like when prices were low and FHA, yeah, 100, dude, that's where I built my wealth, right? Like it wasn't from selling houses. Like it was from that. And yes, that's where I love, you have such an abundant mindset, right? And I believe that like when you have...
Arthur Tyszka (28:39.035)
You still have a chance.
Joe Oz (28:54.824)
Yeah, when you have wealth and you have these things, you have choices. That's all that really is, man. Like, do you want to, you know, the organic apples a little bit more expensive than the non-organic or the good schools a little is, you know, it's like if it's whatever's important to you, if you want to get on an airplane and go travel, if you want to do whatever you have choices and it sounds like, you know, you grew up with humble beginnings, you don't necessarily have those things, right? And then when you do, it's pretty cool. That was great, man. What is, what would you tell?
This is a good podcast. What was that? is a what would you tell like a new agent man like like think about it for a second but like new agent Hey Arthur.
Dude, you sold my mom a house, I'm turning 18, I'm gonna get my real estate license, or whatever, or I'm 25, or whatever. Dude, I'm new, I'm going to get a real estate license, and I don't know where to start. You obviously are a leader in the industry, you've been successful, you have a track record of success. How would you advise me? What would you say to me?
Arthur Tyszka (29:59.143)
You know, it's funny you asked me that question because I am a coach at our office, right? So I get asked this question probably once a week, you know, like or, you know, some way it's phrased to me, right? The best thing, the best thing a new realtor could do, first of all, it's super important where you're gonna work, right? You don't wanna work at some stiff office that everyone's just gonna close their door and not like collaborate with you.
There's plenty of brokerages out there that collaborate nowadays, like that's super popular nowadays and that's what's working. Join somewhere where you can get into a collaborative environment, build a foundation of knowledge because so many people get into this business and they think they're gonna like make six figures like that. They're gonna be like Selling Sunset.
Joe Oz (30:48.303)
Mm-hmm.
Arthur Tyszka (30:52.923)
right, or they're be like owning Manhattan, like Sir Hans New Shell, right? It is not like that, right? Real estate is a nitty gritty job. It's tedious in the beginning. don't get a playbook, you get nothing. So the best thing you could do is to build the foundation through the classes, shadow bigger agents on what they're doing, get involved in everything, do open houses.
Joe Oz (30:53.308)
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Arthur Tyszka (31:18.939)
tell every single one of your contact lists in your phone. I'm sure people have like hundreds of people in their phone. Like call them, let them know you're in real estate. You have to just have the grit and you just have to like not care what people are gonna think about you. You've gotta just put yourself out there, social media, right? Cold call, like do whatever, try everything, try everything. Because there's so many facets and so many ways to make money in real estate.
You have to find out what works for you and whatever you're gonna feel the most comfortable doing, lock in on that. Are you gonna be an open house expert? Do one Friday, Saturday, Sunday, every weekend for six months. See how your life is gonna change. Just dedicate six months of your life. I had an agent, you know, I have such high praise for him. He's such a great agent here in our local markets and we work together now. He said, I quit my corporate job. I did open houses and this is before people did open houses the way they do now.
Joe Oz (31:56.68)
Wow.
Arthur Tyszka (32:15.611)
He said, I did open houses every Saturday and Sunday for six months. That's where I got that from. Every Saturday and Sunday for six months and I never looked back since. Changes life. You could do the same thing with cold calling. You could do the same thing by just tapping into your sphere. You know, are you a member of your church? Are you a member of some golf, you know, country club, whatever, like hone in on your peers, hone in on, you know, anything that has to do with talking to people. Cause the more people you're going to talk to, the more your income is going to grow. Right. But you obviously.
That's why I preface with build the foundation through your brokerage, your real estate peers. You need to understand what you're doing before you're to go out there and tell the world you're in real estate. You have to know what it looks like to close a deal. You have to know what it looks like to negotiate inspection items. You have to know what it looks like to open a lockbox. I had new agents calling me, Arthur, this lockbox doesn't work.
And they're driven 40 minutes away and they're like, doesn't this lockbox doesn't work? I'm like, it's simple things, simple things. You have to have a foundation because you don't wanna present like you're the pro when you don't know the basics. So it's like levels, right? Like any job, you start out small, learn, grow.
and you'll get to that next level. It takes time, right? You can't expect to join in real estate and just be like closing deals left and right. You know what I mean? It all depends on what kind of situation you're gonna put yourself in, you have to have the mindset that I'm here to grow, I'm here to learn, real estate, sky's the limit.
Joe Oz (33:58.76)
Dude, that's awesome, man. Yes, I agree. No, that was great. I'm on fire, dude. I'm ready to, I'm gonna do an open house after this call, as a matter of fact. I'm gonna door knock my whole neighborhood.
Arthur Tyszka (34:04.455)
Alright, go on a tangent there. I talk about this all the time.
Arthur Tyszka (34:11.047)
I got an appointment right after so I'm gonna go sell the house
Joe Oz (34:18.375)
What? Okay, cool dude. I'm gonna shift gears a little bit, right?
What don't you like about real estate, dude? What's the one thing, there's gotta be something, man. Or you can answer this, or let me rephrase that. What's one thing you didn't expect or that you perceived differently before you got into the business versus being in the business? Now you mentioned the, I don't think this is you, you mentioned the people that have expectations, Unreasonable expectations like the selling sunset and the.
I'm gonna have a Ferrari in six weeks or whatever but for you man what would that look like things you do things you perceive differently or like once you were in it you're like I didn't realize blank
Arthur Tyszka (35:01.575)
Yeah, mean, it's a couple of things obviously that like, you know, are not like super fun with our job. I think like the main thing that really bothers me is the unprofessionalism of some realtors. You know, I take this job very seriously. It's my livelihood. It's how I feed my family. I take it extremely seriously. I'm an investor myself. I love real estate. I'm very passionate about it. I love my communities and you know, I take a lot of pride in when I go to show you a house.
first question I always ask everybody, where are you coming from today? You know, it gives me an idea because once, okay, so like, let's say I have a buyer that's coming to the suburbs and they say, well, I'm coming from Jersey city. I immediately already have an idea of what your thought process is, like how you act, what you know, you know, what restaurants you'd like to go to over there maybe, you know. So once I know, you know, a little bit about them and, you know, can translate that info into talking about the town, right?
Um, you know, I just have that wealth of knowledge that like, okay, yeah, like the school system here is phenomenal or, know, they have this, uh, private school around the corner for you or, or that, church is awesome, you know, whatever. Like I know all the little stuff about a lot of different areas. Like I take a lot of pride in knowing, uh, doing business through North and central and even although down, down, down to ocean County, New Jersey, I really go everywhere because I'm.
passionate in my area and I truly do love what I do. So if a client is willing to invest their time into me, I'm investing 110 % back into them. So when I hear about the unprofessionalism of my real estate peers, it does, I get why people hate realtors. I don't blame people, but I like to be the light at the end of the tunnel. Like, you've been working with three or four different realtors.
Now is the time that you're gonna get your house or now is the time we're gonna sell this house or whatever. I like to be that breath of fresh air and the calm within the storm, right? Because I think that's the job of any successful salesperson. Successful salesperson should be able to de-stress or take de-stress out of any situation, right? Transactions get stressful, right? Realtors get stressed, buyers get stressed, sellers get stressed, everybody gets stressed.
Joe Oz (37:12.207)
Wow. Yeah.
Arthur Tyszka (37:20.827)
How can you de-stress the situation?
Joe Oz (37:27.109)
That's great, man. What, I wrote down a bunch of questions. As you talk, I've just been writing down notes. What do you, you are a very, dude, you're a very.
Arthur Tyszka (37:39.175)
you
Arthur Tyszka (37:42.737)
Lightning around here. My pad, can't control that.
Joe Oz (37:42.887)
was like, oh my God, dude. No, no, it's quite right. I was like, dude, are we under attack? Bro, I was in New York, New Jersey two weeks ago. It was like Seattle, man. It was brutal, dude. I was like, it was gnarly. I'm like, come on, man. Anyway, I wanted to be at the Tiki Bar fist pumping, but the weather just wasn't having it, you know? So you're such a humble, like,
Arthur Tyszka (38:07.387)
happens.
Joe Oz (38:11.334)
I think that's like ego is the enemy. think you know, it's like the most important trait man. It's obvious why you're so successful. You're such a humble giving person, right? Like and I think what goes around comes around, right? Like you get what you give. Yeah, 100 % karma dude, 100 % that, right? The energy that you put out in the world and then expectations and then like it's your...
Arthur Tyszka (38:25.553)
Good karma, yeah.
Joe Oz (38:38.552)
intention right like what's your intention like when you say bro when you say you want to help people you mean it
And by the way, everyone says they want to help you. Every real person says, well, I really like to help people. It's like, not, yeah, it's not. And then they get into a deal or you interact with them and you find out very quickly that the intentions flip and it's really, not, you know, it's never about the consumer, it's about you. You know, I learned that the word I is a dangerous, I, I, I, me, me, me. When I'm talking like that, I'm in trouble, right? But when it's like we and us and you know, what can we do together? How did you get there, man? It's such, I mean, people do a lot, people, some people never get there. People do a lot of work on themselves to get to where you're.
at man when it comes to that. How do you get there man?
Arthur Tyszka (39:18.673)
think it's just I had the right influences in my life to be honest with you. I just getting exposed to the right mantras. That's how my mother has always sold real estate. She's always emphasized to me that we are in the service business. This is her famous thing she likes to say. We are in the service business. We provide a service. So we are here to service you. It's so simple, but I think people lose sight of that.
Joe Oz (39:43.108)
Wow, correct.
Arthur Tyszka (39:48.551)
Right? Like we are service providers. We're, you know, our, our like something little, like little something always bothers me too. like when, when the realtor will call a client, like a customer, I don't like that for some reason, like my customer, it's not your customer. That's, like, I look at my clients, like almost like family. Like that's, that's like, you know, that could be my brother, you know, or whatever. like, you know, I don't care. Like I'm here to like help them. Like that's not my customer. I'm not going to sell them and then close the door on them. You know what I mean?
Joe Oz (40:05.744)
Heh, totally.
Arthur Tyszka (40:18.055)
You know, it's you just have to have the mindset and you know, I'm gonna give I'm gonna give a shout out to you know somebody that I you know, I looked up to when I was very early in the business, know the owner of Weikert at the time, you know the creator of the Jim Weikert he he said a very nice thing I think it's been tossed around now the saying like many different times and it's been used but you know people will buy people before they buy a product or service from you They're gonna buy you before they buy the house
Joe Oz (40:46.213)
Yeah.
Arthur Tyszka (40:47.429)
Right? So it's all about like, you know, I got into this business at such a young age. I was always super keen on showing up fully suited, like just dressed like a professional, you know, have my MLS sheets, have the disclosures. I know the property inside and out. I have the square footage. I have everything. Like I'm ready. I'm ready to be there and just like, tell you everything I know, you know, tell you about, you know, the area, you know, what it's close to, how far is your work commute from there, whatever. Like, you know, like...
Because the more you're doing that, you can see people appreciate that. So once you get it, that that's the recipe, you double down on it. So that's really where it comes from. Just right influences from the beginning. Like I said, it's all about who you align yourself with when you first get into this business. You align yourself with the wrong people.
Joe Oz (41:27.141)
Wow.
Joe Oz (41:39.696)
For sure. What's your superpower?
Arthur Tyszka (41:44.231)
I'm always available. I'm always available. You know, that's the funny thing. know, I outwork my competition. You know, I don't like to put it out there, but like, hey, look, you know, if it means getting the deal done Wednesday, 11 o'clock at night, you know, and to be on the phone with you for that hour long phone call when I should be sleeping.
Joe Oz (41:45.891)
Nice.
Arthur Tyszka (42:09.968)
to get the deal done, I have done it and will do it and continue to do so. If it means the client's putting their 100 % into me, I'm gonna give them 110 % back. Same thing, like, you know, if I gotta get up six o'clock in the morning or seven o'clock, whatever, like, you know, it doesn't matter. Like my job, I don't even consider a job, my livelihood of real estate really takes huge precedence in what I do. It provides the lifestyle that I'm able to live with my family.
My parents were able to do very well with it. to me, it's not a joke. So I'm ready to hustle, I'm ready to work, and I'm not gonna be the average realtor that turns his phone off after five. Some realtors do that, right? They're walking into offices, and this might be an old school mentality. I don't think the kids do this nowadays, right? The younger people, but this was when I first got into the business, five o'clock came, phone was off.
Joe Oz (42:53.402)
Wow.
Arthur Tyszka (43:07.119)
Honestly, believe it or not, that's really how it was. People still do it, right? Maybe they don't do as much business, but like I said, I'm always available.
Joe Oz (43:17.242)
Well also, you know, always available. think you commit, tell me, I'm gonna put words in your mouth, but tell me if this is correct. Sounds like you commit to the people that commit to you, right? Like you're not available to like every ding-dong on the planet, just calling your cell phone, but like you probably, people have earned the right to call your phone or reach out to you and you know, that's the thing, man. think those, you know, the people commit to you, they've earned the right to get all of you, right? That's thing, that's what you're saying. Does that sound about right?
Arthur Tyszka (43:27.975)
100%.
Arthur Tyszka (43:32.273)
Look, I, I, yeah.
Arthur Tyszka (43:44.635)
Yeah, absolutely. If someone's committing to me, I'm 110 % back, right? I'm doing the extra step. Of course, people earn that right, but it's the same thing. Listen, if we get a new client and we're figuring out if it's where their head's at, if they're a realistic person and they have real intentions, I'm there. I'm extending my hand out before they commit to me even, right? Because if I...
take that first step, you know, if I show my heart, hopefully they don't crush it.
Joe Oz (44:19.951)
Dude, totally. So what year did you... So your parents came here what year?
Arthur Tyszka (44:29.703)
30 years ago, I don't know, had to be in the 90s, don't know, 95, 94, somewhere around there. Maybe, I honestly do not know off the top.
Joe Oz (44:33.391)
God, that's so wild.
Have you been back to where your parents are from?
Arthur Tyszka (44:39.899)
We used to go every year before COVID. We've been here and there since COVID. But yeah, I'm very familiar. I can navigate. I've been all around the country over there in Poland. It's a beautiful country if anybody's ever looking to travel out there. Plenty of people speak English, so.
Joe Oz (44:57.283)
Yeah, it's awesome. What's your favorite Polish food?
Arthur Tyszka (45:01.701)
I mean, it's so cliche, but I love a good pierogi. But made the right way though, made the right way. can't be, I mean, they gotta be handcrafted by a Polish grandma in the kitchen. You know what I mean? Like that's the right way to do it. can't be the box, the freezer box how to like shop right, you No offense to that.
Joe Oz (45:05.086)
Because they're awesome! Because they're awesome!
How do you make them the right way, dude? Like, what, what,
Joe Oz (45:17.071)
Bro.

Joe Oz (46:39.269)
So he had a restaurant across the street. No, it wasn't across the street. It was like maybe...
Oh, I'm gonna have to figure out. Anyway, yeah, I love Clyde, man. Dude, how brutal was it? Dude, how brutal is it to listen to these games that are not called by Clyde? It's brutal, right? In the playoffs, we're horrible. Yeah.
Arthur Tyszka (47:00.913)
He's the man. He's the man. Yeah, listen, I love Clyde. You know, I love, I love, you know, the Knicks. Like, they're just my team, man. I've been loving them ever since I knew what basketball was. You know, was, basketball is my sport. Like, I didn't get into football early, I didn't get into soccer, whatever. Like, basketball was my thing, you know? So, been loving the Knicks ever since, you know, so.

Yes, we did sign a new coach. We signed Mike Brown. I'm not like super like yay about it, but like we'll see. You know what I mean? I don't know. I thought I kind of cool, but it happens right?
Joe Oz (47:32.217)

Joe Oz (47:36.227)
We're gonna, yeah dude, I try to not pay attention to all the, dude, where like, it's like LeBron's coming or, you know, like, I don't either, man. The thing is, there's not many.
Arthur Tyszka (47:44.647)
I honestly don't want LeBron. don't know how I'll... He's at the end of his career. Maybe like Miami Heat, Bron. Yeah, I want that guy.
Joe Oz (47:51.865)

Joe Oz (48:04.345)
Dude, I watched that game one on an airplane and I was landing like in the last like 30 seconds. It was like torture, dude. Like it was going in and the internet was going like in and out on the plane. but yeah, man, I think that you, I went to the season opener this year. was Indiana, New York was the season opener at MSG. And when we were just in New York,
I took my son, I took Milo into the city. Like we did, I did a bunch of work in, I was with the real estate team in Jersey and all this stuff. And I took Milo into the city and we went to the Natural History Museum, Central Park, Times Square. And then yeah, we toured MSG, right? He's a Knicks fan too. And...
The MSG part was like, it was his favorite part. And then he got like a, he got a Brunson jersey. We saw the locker room and it was funny, man. We did all that stuff and I was like, on the way home, I was like, what was your favorite part of New York? He's like, the store in Times Square. We made like these custom &Ms with like our face on them. It was pretty, it was pretty cool, man. It was pretty rad. New York is the best.
Arthur Tyszka (49:06.759)
hard to beat that.
Arthur Tyszka (49:14.257)
New York's a cool place,
Joe Oz (49:18.689)
What? Travel. Are you travel guy? Sounds like you went to Poland every year before COVID. What's the coolest place that you've ever traveled to?
Arthur Tyszka (49:25.125)
Yeah, yeah.
Arthur Tyszka (49:29.127)
coolest place.
Joe Oz (49:29.773)
or the place that you enjoy the most.
Arthur Tyszka (49:32.537)
I recently had a trip with my wife Sam. We went for our one year wedding anniversary. We went to Curacao. I think this is how it's pronounced. Curacao is right next to Aruba. Everybody knows Aruba. At least if you're from Jersey, New York, you know what Aruba is. Everybody who was there. Go to Aruba, it's like pretty much Jersey at this point. If you go there, you know what I mean. But yeah, it's one of the ABC islands.
Joe Oz (49:44.997)
Yeah. Yeah.
Joe Oz (49:49.849)
Yeah, of course.
Arthur Tyszka (50:00.539)
We went there for our one year anniversary and we had probably one of the most spectacular times we've ever had traveling. It was just phenomenal. Food was great. The people there are so nice. You felt safe. know, it's the resort was very nice. I personally just loved it. I enjoyed every minute of it. It was like a short little weekend thing, but we made the most out of it.
It was great, you know, I'm an island guy. like to just go out, relax. Like if I go out on vacation, I like to just take things slow. Everything here in North Jersey is just fast, fast, fast, fast. So just like to like, you know, decompress a little bit, you know, so.
Joe Oz (50:31.713)
Yes, yes.
Joe Oz (50:41.316)
heck yeah man what was what was your first concert
Arthur Tyszka (50:50.215)
Man, I mean, I was so young and I almost like cringe that I like was into this kind of thing. But like I was really into like EDM and like, you know, stuff like. Yeah, I mean, I know I don't like, you know, I don't know if I give that energy off, but yeah, I was like 18, 17 at the time. Yeah, I used to go to those concerts all the time, dress in all colors and everything. And, you know, that was those were, you know, the first concerts I used to go to. I went to the ones.
Joe Oz (50:59.297)
Nice!
Joe Oz (51:19.438)
Are those like more like festivals or are those like, like...
Arthur Tyszka (51:22.887)
Yeah, festival slash concert, you know, but that's what I used to go to, you know what I mean? You know, I was a kid. Huh? Yeah, yeah, Calvin Harris, Skrillex when he was like popular back then, you know, whatever. know, Yogi the Cake thing, you know. Yeah, yeah, so that was like what I was into, but you know, I was young, my rebellious time, you know.
Joe Oz (51:29.198)
Like Calvin Harris and stuff like that. Like Calvin Harris type music.
Steve Aoki, yeah, yeah, yeah, Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's cool.
Joe Oz (51:48.677)
Dude, I was a punk rocker, dude. I used to go into New York and go to like CBGBs and like all those like old punk clubs, man. Like when I was 16, 17 years old, that's what I was doing. You're probably doing the same exact thing, man. Just a different type of, I love music. think music brings people together and it's an outlet and things like that. Dude, I can't believe like an hour just flew by, man. I am looking, I have so many questions. I'm trying to narrow it down to like one more.
Arthur Tyszka (52:06.119)
Hell yeah.
Joe Oz (52:15.844)
What do you like to do for fun outside of all this? Many hobbies, do you collect anything? What do we do for fun besides crushing real estate?
Arthur Tyszka (52:26.755)
So outside of real estate, mean, I'm a big sports guy. love obviously watching the Knicks. I'm a big fantasy football guy. I'm guilty, but I'm in like 10 different leagues every year. So like I'm really, really into it. Super competitive. Same way I'm competitive in real estate is the same way I'm competitive in beating people.
Joe Oz (52:47.179)
Nice.
Arthur Tyszka (52:49.059)
so that's, that's like my guilty pleasure. traveling, like if I have the time, you know, travel that that's always fun. And, you know, once now, now that, know, our daughter's born, I really just love spending time with my family. that's a lot of fun. So, you know, just even going for a simple walk, you know, or anything like that, just that that's fun, you know, that's calming and, and, and, and enough itself. So, you know, it's good stuff. That's like the fun stuff, you know, but outside.
Joe Oz (53:16.536)
That's rad.
Arthur Tyszka (53:17.625)
Outside of real estate, you don't really get much time, you know what I mean?
Joe Oz (53:21.252)
Bro, we're gonna totally go to a Knicks game. And then when they win, we're gonna like light New York on fire. Like, we're getting arrested, bro. Like, this is the year. Like, I'm telling you, dude. I told... What?
Arthur Tyszka (53:24.327)
Let's do it, let's do it. I'm a huge fan, I love it.
Arthur Tyszka (53:30.155)
I think we should save it for a playoff game. We should probably save that for when they're in the playoffs again.
Joe Oz (53:38.712)
Dude, just told Nicole, my wife, I was like, this was like this morning. was like, for no reason I just turned to her and I was like, we're winning everything this year. Like it's fucking on, dude. And she like, look, I'm like, hey, and by the way, I'm gonna be like this for the next 10 months. So just get ready, cause this is like how I'm going to be right now. Bro, I was so...
Arthur Tyszka (53:54.279)
Bring it on.
Joe Oz (54:08.419)
Dude, when they lost to Indiana. I think it wasn't the last game. Yeah, it was the last game. Dude, just, bro, I just, I don't ever get like this. I went and laid in bed. I just like laid in bed, dude. I just laid in bed. Like that's all I can say. I like, I'm like.
Arthur Tyszka (54:20.336)
I know.
I know, you feel it in your soul, it sucks, you know?
We're so close. We're so close.
Joe Oz (54:30.923)
I was like, dude, these nerds, man. Anyway, cool. What?
Arthur Tyszka (54:35.463)
Honestly, Indiana got it worse. They got, you know, they got all the way to the finals and lost to OKC. They deserved it. They're not coming back with a good core next year.
Joe Oz (54:43.74)
Dude, did you see they, who did they just let walk yesterday? Yeah, dude! my god, bro, I'm, if I'm Hal Burton, I'm not psyched right now.
Arthur Tyszka (54:47.076)
Isle's turn or something.
Arthur Tyszka (54:54.939)
He was a good piece for them. He was annoying to guard, I know that.
Joe Oz (54:59.171)
Dude, that whatever, no, dude, the little JJ Reddick looking guy, what's his name on Indiana? The six man?
Arthur Tyszka (55:04.735)
Tyler something
Joe Oz (55:09.123)
No, not that guy, dude. I don't know why his name is escaping me. Yeah, yeah, yeah. they had a really good team. think game seven, Halburn getting hurt, that sucked for basketball fans in general. That just sucked for everybody, right? Yeah, that was a bummer, man.
Arthur Tyszka (55:11.993)
I know who you're talking about. I honestly like it.
Arthur Tyszka (55:25.947)
You want to see a good game, you don't want to anybody get hurt. I don't want to wish ill will on anybody.
Joe Oz (55:29.763)
Totally. I like, I like, I like, I mean, I love at the end of the day, I love basketball. I'm probably like you, right? Like, so like when my team's out, I'm still a fan and I'm like, um, yeah, I'm in it. I'm checking it out. What did I, uh, what did I not ask you that I should have asked you?
Arthur Tyszka (55:49.051)
I don't know. I think we talked a lot about pretty much everything. You asked me a lot of general questions, you know. I'm an open book though, you know. I don't know. I don't really have much else to say, you know. Like I love my family. I love working hard, you know. Like I wake up, I go to bed like anybody else, right? You know, I just, the biggest thing for me is that, you know, it's, I want people to know when they're thinking real estate, they're thinking of Arthur Tishka. They're thinking of.
