When Greg Berney left his career in hospital administration, he knew he wanted something different—something that gave him ownership of his time, his future, and his impact. With a background in social work, Greg never imagined he’d find that in real estate. But after flipping a house with a friend and watching a wholesaler walk away with more profit in a week than he made in months, Greg knew he’d found his next path.

Greg began wholesaling on his own, but quickly realized he was wearing every hat and struggling to scale. That’s when he discovered Joe Homebuyer. What sealed the deal wasn’t just the proven systems—it was the people. “I wanted to surround myself with high-caliber leaders who operate with integrity. With Joe, I knew I’d grow faster and have fun doing it.”

Since joining in early 2021, Greg has closed well over 100 deals and built a rental portfolio of 30+ properties. He’s also grown a team in Greensboro that handles the day-to-day operations, freeing him to focus on strategy and long-term wealth. One of his proudest moments came from a deal that took six months, multiple title issues, and endless follow-up with a fractured family. “We made less money on that deal than dozens of others, but it’s the one I’m most proud of. We were the only ones willing to stick with it and truly help.”

“This business isn’t about houses—it’s about people. When you show up to serve, the profits take care of themselves.”

For Greg, the Joe Homebuyer difference comes down to speed, support, and camaraderie. From dialing in marketing systems to having a nationwide network of franchisees he can call anytime, the franchise has helped him grow his business in half the time it would have taken on his own.
