From using social media the smart way to building a strong team, Moshik and Avi show that hard work and the right plan can make big dreams come true. Let’s see how they did it and what we can learn from them.
How Moshik Zemach and Avi Ohana Started Making Big Real Estate Deals
Not too long ago, they were just getting started with flipping houses and wholesaling single-family homes. Flipping houses means buying homes, fixing them up, and selling them for more money. Wholesaling is like being a middleman. You find a distressed house and sell that deal to another buyer without fixing the house yourself.
At first, they did a mix of both flipping and wholesaling. But then, they decided to focus more on wholesaling because it worked better for them. And guess what? It worked out really well. They closed almost 80 deals in a single year, showing how smart planning and hard work can pay off big time. Want to learn how to close deals like Moshik and Avi? Keep reading!
Using Social Media to Build a Real Estate Team
One of the secrets to their success was using social media. But not just to find new clients—it was also a huge help in finding great team members. Moshik and Avi said that “Recruiting is a big part of it.”
By sharing their company’s story and values online, they were able to attract talented people who wanted to be a part of their journey. It’s not about making viral posts, but about sharing the right message that shows what their company is all about.
When people search for a job, they often check social media to see if a company’s values match their own.
"The content doesn't even necessarily need to be viral; it just needs to share the right message."
Building a Strong Real Estate Team for Wholesaling Success
Ever wondered how to scale your real estate business fast? Here’s how they did it. Over time, they built a team of 13 members. Instead of talking directly to sellers all the time, their focus became hiring and training the right people to do that work. They learned that before teaching others, you need to understand the work yourself. That way, you can set clear goals, help your team improve, and keep things running smoothly.
When hiring, they look for two main qualities: kindness and responsibility. They ask interviewees to share real-life stories about times they went out of their way to help others. They believe in a team culture where everyone cares about each other and takes responsibility for their actions.
Learning From Mistakes to Grow Your Real Estate Business
A big part of Moshik and Avi’s success comes from their approach to mistakes. Instead of blaming each other, they focus on learning and improving. For example, if a deal goes wrong, they talk about what happened and figure out how to do better next time.
One time, a deal with a homeowner didn’t go as planned. Instead of getting upset, they took personal responsibility and worked hard to fix the issue. Their positive attitude helps build trust within their team and makes everyone feel safe to learn and grow.

Learning Before Delegating
Moshik and Avi believe you should always understand a job before giving it to someone else. Whether it's cold calling, marketing, sales, or hiring, they make sure to learn the process first. This helps them teach their team better and make sure everyone knows what’s expected.
Even other real estate experts agree—doing the work yourself first helps you set better goals and avoid problems down the road. It also helps you build a stronger, more knowledgeable team.
Why Real Estate Mentorship and Networking Matter
They didn’t figure everything out on their own. They learned a lot from a real estate mentor, who gave them tips and strategies that made starting out much easier. Later, joining groups like Collective Genius helped them improve their team-building skills even more.
The Takeaway: Keep Learning and Growing
Moshik and Avi’s story proves that real estate success is possible for anyone willing to work hard and learn. They showed that building a great team, listening to mentors, and always being willing to grow are key steps to reaching big goals.
If you want to succeed in real estate, take their advice: Learn from others, keep improving, and always stay true to your values. If they can do it, so can you!
