Title
Director of Sales & Coaching | FAST Real Estate
Bio
Seventy bucks, a backpack, and a dream. That’s what took Elias Astuto from San Diego to Lake Tahoe, and eventually to the Bay Area, where he carved out a path for himself as the Director of Sales and Coaching for #TEAMFAST and industry Coach. His story of success and inspiration is what fuels his passion for helping and inspiring others.
Anyone who meets Elias will tell you that his larger-than-life personality is perfectly suited for the role he’s in now, helping #TEAMFAST and its agents achieve remarkable outcomes. But make no mistake – he isn’t where he is today because he took shortcuts.
“At one point, addiction had completely taken over my life. I was living on the streets of San Diego,” he says, adding that he went to the “school of hard knocks” before eventually hitting the books and getting his GED.
But addiction was just a season of his life, because Elias realized he needed a change. That’s when he traveled north and began working at the second-largest resort in Lake Tahoe. In less than two years, he was promoted to Director of Marketing and Public Relations, managing the most successful marketing team the resort had ever seen.
A few years later, Elias bridged his tourism experience with real estate, getting his license so he could sell timeshares for Hyatt in Carmel, California. Then it was off to the Bay Area, where he tried to get a job at Coldwell Banker. They initially turned him down because he “wasn’t the right fit.”
…But it’s not like Elias to take “no” for an answer.
