Description

In this episode, Chris and Matt chat with Nathan Anderson, founder of Rebuild the Block and one of RETSY’s top-performing agents and developers. Nathan shares how his early experiences in construction and real estate shaped his approach to building not just homes but long-term relationships and partnerships that last.

He opens up about what it takes to stay consistent in an unpredictable market, the importance of surrounding yourself with the right people, and how collaboration has been key to his success alongside business partner Paul Nicoletti. From handling setbacks to scaling a respected brand in luxury development, Nathan’s story is all about putting in the work, staying humble, and never losing sight of the bigger picture.
