Alexis Terry brings grit, grace, and over a decade of real estate experience to the Joe Homebuyer family. After completing 170+ flips—including 37 in a single year—Alexis was ready for more than the grind.

In 2025, she joined Joe Homebuyer to expand into wholesaling and create a business that fuels both personal freedom and professional purpose. From the moment she signed, Alexis went all in—traveling to attend our annual conference within 24 hours of joining . Today, she’s building a dual-engine business with her fiancé, combining fix-and-flip expertise with a growing wholesale operation backed by the Joe Homebuyer playbook.

“I didn’t even hit the ball—I just got walked to first base,” laughs Mark Gabryel, reflecting on his early days as a solo wholesaler trying to figure it all out on his own.

Before becoming a Joe Homebuyer franchisee, Mark was stuck in a cycle of cold calls, clunky CRMs, and inconsistent deals. He was doing everything himself—and burning out in the process. But when a trusted mentor introduced him to the Joe Homebuyer model, everything changed.

Today, Mark leads a growing operation in Tulsa, Oklahoma, backed by world-class systems, real-time data, and a community that pushes him to grow both personally and professionally. His story is a masterclass in what happens when you stop working harder and start working smarter—with the right framework behind you.

“I wanted to build a real business—not just be another wholesaler with a good month and no plan for the next,” said JC Coulter, a seasoned Realtor-turned-investor who joined Joe Homebuyer in 2025.

JC had already seen some success flipping houses and brokering deals, but he recognized a limit to how far hustle alone could take him. After meeting Mark and Cody at a Brent Daniels event, the lightbulbs started going off. JC was drawn to the systems, the support, and most importantly—the character-first culture that defines the Joe Homebuyer way.

Just days after joining, JC attended the annual franchise conference and instantly knew he had found more than a business model—he found a tribe. Today, JC is building something bigger than himself, equipping a team, and serving Colorado homeowners with options and integrity.

“I was making the most I ever had—but I still felt capped,” said Kevin Hart, reflecting on the moment he realized he had hit his ceiling as a one-man operation.

After years of flipping, wholesaling, and building a rental portfolio on his own, Kevin was running out of bandwidth. Deals were coming in, but time, freedom, and real growth were slipping through the cracks. That all changed when he teamed up with fellow investor Mike Gories and officially joined the Joe Homebuyer franchise in Louisville, Kentucky.

Together, they built a high-trust, high-performance partnership where Mike leads acquisition efforts remotely, and Kevin handles boots-on-the-ground operations. Backed by Joe’s systems, support, and coaching, they have already exceeded their annual revenue goals—and it’s only August.

For nearly 14 years, Brett Stewart served as a full-time pastor in Abilene, Texas. But while leading churches, he began dabbling in real estate—building a small rental portfolio, managing Airbnbs, and flipping a few homes. What started as a side hustle quickly became a passion. In late 2022, Brett stepped away from full-time ministry to pursue real estate full time.

That leap of faith led him to Joe Homebuyer, where he now leads the West Texas franchise. Brett was drawn not only to the business model, but also to the mission—helping distressed homeowners with compassion, creativity, and integrity.

In his first week of marketing, Brett landed his first deal. Since then, he’s closed multiple contracts, built a growing buyers list, and become a trusted name in Abilene real estate. For Brett, the work is about more than transactions: it’s about people. Whether it’s helping a family ashamed of their home’s condition or finding creative financing solutions for a couple going through divorce, Brett sees every home as a chance to serve.

“Distressed homes mean distressed lives. This business gives me the opportunity to love people, listen to them, and offer solutions that bring peace. The contracts follow when you put people first.”

Today, Brett and his team are building toward making Joe Homebuyer West Texas the go-to name in Abilene and beyond. His goal? To combine excellent real estate solutions with the same servant-minded leadership that defined his years in ministry.

Mark Sweeney was no stranger to real estate. With a background in property management and some fix-and-flip experience in Florida, he knew he wanted more than just another job—he wanted ownership. After exploring several franchise options, Mark discovered Joe Homebuyer and immediately felt it was the right fit: flexible, scalable, and backed by real people who care.

Since launching in October 2022, Mark has built real momentum in the West Michigan market—closing multiple wholesale deals, building a 1,000+ person buyers list, and even flipping a property himself. With a background in leadership and a gift for relationship-building, he’s proving you don’t have to be a real estate expert to succeed—you just need the right systems and a team that’s invested in your growth.

“The team in Utah, the training, the masterminds… it’s more than a business model—it’s a movement. I would never be where I am now without Joe Homebuyer.”

Today, Mark is scaling fast—hiring his first dispo and acquisition managers, partnering with other Michigan franchisees, and expanding his reach in Grand Rapids and beyond. He’s focused on wholesaling, building a rental portfolio, and helping sellers navigate some of life’s toughest transitions with empathy and integrity.

After a 35-year career climbing the ranks in an agricultural cooperative—from location manager to regional director—Terry Sweat decided it was time for a new chapter. Early retirement gave him the freedom to choose what came next. When exploring franchise options, Terry wanted something people-focused, challenging, and scalable. After Discovery Day in Utah and a candid call with Joe Homebuyer’s leadership team, he knew he had found the right fit.

With zero real estate experience, Terry launched his Joe Homebuyer Greater Richmond franchise in mid-2022. The learning curve was steep, but the systems, training, and masterminds gave him confidence to take action. Within months, he closed his first deal—a small brick rancher with no floors or walls—and built momentum from there. By leaning into Joe’s marketing systems and pivoting quickly when needed, Terry has already built a 2,000+ person buyers list and is becoming a trusted resource in the Richmond market.

“This is hard work, but it’s worth it. I’ve worked my whole life, but now I get to do it on my own terms—with the backing of a team I can trust. I wouldn’t trade it for anything.”

Terry is focused on wholesaling today, with long-term plans to add buy-and-hold properties as he builds deeper relationships with local contractors and investors. What sets him apart? His Southern warmth, his diligence, and his commitment to making every deal a win-win for both seller and buyer.

Amy McCracken didn’t plan on becoming a real estate investor. After 25 years as a magazine publisher in ski towns and smaller cities, the COVID-19 pandemic forced her to pivot—and fast. That’s when she stepped in as General Manager for a local Joe Homebuyer franchise. Within weeks, she was landing deals, learning the systems, and realizing: “I could own this.” When the original franchisee stepped away, Amy bought the business—and never looked back.

Today, Amy is building a purpose-driven wholesaling business with a heart for helping people through tough transitions. Whether it’s assisting a 92-year-old homeowner to preserve his legacy or supporting a grandmother trying to provide Christmas for her grandkids, Amy leads with service, speed, and a deep desire to do the right thing.
