For a sales professional highly skilled at getting people to hang on his every word, the real goal for agent Vikram Deol of Bellevue, WA, is to shine the spotlight less on himself and more on his real estate clients and team members.

Deol started out in real estate by purchasing and flipping houses. He listed his homes on Zillow before realizing that, instead of helping one buyer at a time as an investor, he could become a real estate agent and help multiple buyers and sellers achieve their dreams.

After purchasing a ZIP code on Zillow and seeing success as a one-man show, Deol needed to expand his operations, so he started building a team: The Deol Group. He soon understood that as beneficial as his experience and expertise had been to building his own career, it would be even more rewarding to help his team members succeed by sharing the knowledge he’d gained.
