Breaking Free From the Real Estate Rat Race

 

I'm Andrew McCargar, and I've lived both sides of the real estate success story. Starting at just 23 years old, I quickly became one of the industry's top performers, personally signing over 240 listing agreements and selling 100+ homes in a single year. Like you, I believed bigger meant better—more deals, larger teams, higher revenue. That drive led me to spend 7 years building one of Keller Williams' largest expansion teams, scaling to $12M+ in annual revenue with hundreds of property acquisitions and renovations and serving as many as 750 clients annually in Arizona alone.

Through an integrated partnership approach, we launched and scaled 30 real estate offices across the country, with each location averaging $500,000 in annual revenue. A third of these offices broke the million-dollar mark, while our flagship location generated over $6M in gross revenue in a single year. 

The True Cost of Scale


 

But success came with a hidden price tag. Everything began to break down: my life, my health, and ultimately the business itself. We had done something seemingly impossible: we broke the machine by growing too big, too fast, and not reinforcing the foundation.

Then I made a decision that shocked everyone: I walked away, leaving millions in potential income and $1.2MM of my own capital on the table. Why? Because I discovered what most "real estate gurus" won't tell you:

Scale isn't the only path to wealth. Complexity isn't a badge of honor. And hustle culture is a trap that can cost you everything that matters.

Now I help others gain true freedom from that trap.

The Integrated Investor Approach 

 

Today, I run a streamlined investment portfolio that generates consistent returns without requiring 60-hour workweeks or an army of employees. My team sources exceptional deals through a dialed-in approach, and I spend most of my time with my young family while the business runs smoothly in the background.

But make no mistake—I'm a practitioner first, not just a consultant. While Swift Business Consulting shares our proven systems and strategies, our primary focus remains where it's always been: actively buying, improving, and selling real estate while building a substantial portfolio for long-term cash flow. We continue to operate a thriving, profitable residential real estate team and title company across Arizona and Tennessee, staying true to our roots as a full-service real estate enterprise.

By applying Charlie Munger's principle that "simplicity has a way of improving performance through enabling us to better understand what we are doing," I've created a sustainable model that prioritizes:

  • Deal flow automation over constant hustling
  • Strategic partnerships over endless hiring
  • Systematic wealth building over revenue chasing
  • Life integration over work-life balance

The Power of Elite Rooms & Strategic Guidance

 

My passion for growth and learning led me to co-create and scale one of the country's premier real estate masterminds, bringing together 150 of the wealthiest and most active single-family real estate investors in the nation. Throughout my journey, I've invested hundreds of thousands of dollars to be in rooms with the highest performers in the country. I've sat in masterminds with entrepreneurs running $10M, $20M, even $200M revenue businesses. These experiences taught me something crucial: there are always shortcuts to success, but they typically come from individuals who learned the lessons the hard way—those who can look back and see how much easier their path could have been with the right guidance.

 Operating at these elite levels has given me a unique perspective on the entrepreneurial journey. I've witnessed firsthand how the most successful business owners navigate complex challenges, and more importantly, I've seen the patterns that separate sustainable success from unsustainable growth. This insight drives my approach today: helping entrepreneurs simplify their path to achievement through laser-focused execution.

My methodology centers on three key elements that I've seen transform businesses time and time again:

  • Identifying and tracking the vital few KPIs that truly move the needle
  • Creating crystal-clear action steps that align with ambitious goals
  • Cultivating strategic relationships that accelerate wealth creation

 

This realization led me to consistently align myself with those who had already walked the paths I aimed to travel. They could point out the pitfalls before I encountered them, saving me years of costly trial and error. Now, I serve as that same strategic sounding board for my private clients, helping them navigate critical decision points where the choices aren't always between good and bad, but between equally viable options that require clear, strategic thinking. My ultimate goal is to help my clients raise their standards of what's possible—not just in business but in life.

 

Why I Now Help Others

 Through Swift Business Consulting, I share the exact systems and strategies that not only built one of the country's most profitable real estate teams but also enabled my transition from overwhelmed operator to strategic investor. I focus specifically on helping successful real estate professionals who feel trapped by their own success - those doing 40-60 deals annually but struggling to find time to breathe.

Every strategy I teach has been battle-tested through both successes and failures. I've made the mistakes, learned the lessons, and developed the systems so you don't have to waste years figuring it out yourself.

  • Transform their business from a demanding job into a wealth-generating asset

  • Implement systems that scale without requiring constant oversight
  • Create multiple revenue streams while reducing operational complexity

Building Your Personal “Deal Machine”

 I teach you how to build a true "deal machine" - a systematized approach to real estate that transforms your business from a time-consuming operation into a wealth-generating powerhouse. This includes:

  • Building sophisticated deal evaluation and underwriting systems
  •  Establishing a robust network of investors and buyers

  • Implementing virtual teams and automation to reduce operational overhead

Every strategy I teach has been battle-tested through both successes and failures. I bring the collective wisdom gained from years of high-level masterminds and strategic partnerships to help you make better decisions faster.

John G.

"Andrew is a true business leader. I worked with him for about 3 months and we experienced the most growth in our business in the previous 4 years combined along with hiring leverage and starting an investment company. He really does care about the people around him being successful."

Rob W.

"It was a true pleasure being coached by Andrew. He is the real deal. His depth of knowledge is built from the ground up. He was able to help us organize and focus on the things that really moved the needle in our real estate business. I would highly recommend Andrew to anyone seeking expert guidance in their business."

Scottie B.

"Very few people have had such a profound impact on my life and business in such a short period of time as Andrew. The expertise he brings to the table is top quality and shows more than a decade of experience building teams while leading and coaching top professionals in the industry. Andrew has a way of telling you exactly what you need to hear, even hard things, and framing it in such a way that you know he not only cares about partnering with you towards your success, but that shows he will go the distance with you to help you achieve it. He is, by far, one of the best in our industry and would be an asset as a business coach to anyone in any industry."

Joseph E.

"Andrew has played a significant role in the growth of our Real Estate team. My wife and I started working with Andrew at the end of 2022 and within just months of his coaching and guidance we were able to pave a path forward for our team and business. Andrew helped us with several things, from agent accountability, business financials tracking, lead and lag measures tracking, lead conversion at a high level, and pretty much anything else we needed help with. By October of 2023 our team had already surpassed what our revenue was in all of 2022 and year-to-date in 2024 (end of March) we are already at 46% pending and closed of what we did in all of 2023! Andrew was crucial in this growth!"

Derek E.

"Andrew is one of the smartest business owners I’ve ever worked with. His experience building a large real estate company has allowed him to see things within my own business that I was completely blind to. On the investment side, Andrew’s expertise has been critical in adding not only new streams of revenue, but an investment philosophy and strategy that I can use to build long term wealth! If you need a coach, Andrew is the best I’ve found!"
