Kent Clothier Chooses to
Follow the Road Less Traveled
O
ne conversation with Kent
Clothier will open your eyes to
a fatal flaw found in many real
estate programs: Most of the
gurus who pitch the products don’t actu-
ally utilize them. Well, here is some inside
scoop: Kent Clothier (and his entire fam-
ily and team) actually use the systems Kent
promotes. As owner of 1-800-SELLNow,
the systems Find Cash Buyers Now and
Find Private Lenders Now, and as co-own-
wants to do, has been the
key to Kent’s success.
“If you’re willing to do
what others are not, then you
will find that success will
usually follow,” said Kent.
Kent believes that his suc-
cess, and that of his family,
the Clothiers, “...lies in the
fact that we’re willing to do
something that others aren’t.
“If you’re willing to do what
others are not, then you will find

uses the same knowledge that he shares
with his clients, many whom have already
seen great success in their own right.
“The industry is filled with people
who want to tell you how to do it,” notes
Kent, “but they’re not doing it themselves.
There’s a lot of people who want you to buy
this program, or buy that program, [but]
the actuality is, very few of them are doing
deals. Not only do we educate people, but
we’re also buying and selling three to four
hundred houses per year.”
Kent got his start in real estate after a
successful career in the wholesaling busi-
ness with a multi-billion dollar company in
the grocery industry. After leaving the gro-
cery business, he was, like many individu-
als, “sucked into” the real estate industry
by those infamous late nite “infomercials”,
however unlike so many who try their hand
at real estate investing and fail, he put ev-
erything into his businesses and has grown
three successful ventures in addition to
working with his family’s business, Mem-
phisInvest, a truly wholesale investment
company.
A focus on creating a relationship with
their clients and meeting their needs, as
well as always doing what’s necessary,
even the “dirty work” that nobody else

We are always willing to
send someone down to the
county clerk’s office to sift
through property records to
find cash buyers, people that
are in our back yard, that we
get to know, and by doing that we’ve built a
very successful business, not a hobby.”
When Kent and his family shared the
methods they utilized in growing their
business with others in the real estate in-
vestment industry, they were surprised at
the reactions they encountered. Individuals
were amazed that the Clothier’s could find
cash buyers, and build a brand for their in-
vestment business.
Kent’s businesses were “born out of our
own investing interest,” said Kent. “We
realized that what we were doing was so
unique, that we needed to share it with
other people.”
Investors who purchase their systems are
provided with access to a wealth of infor-
mation on real estate investing, including
webinars, access to online cash buyers,
continuous customer support and access to
private lenders; virtually everything a seri-
ous individual needs to grow their invest-
ment business.
More than just great customer service
and access to fantastic products, investors

learn how to “run their business like a busi-
ness.”
“In our real estate education classes, we
only spend 20 percent of our time teaching
people on real estate, and we spend prob-
ably 80 percent of our time educating them
on how to be an entrepreneur, or how to
actually get in the game the right way,”
said Kent.
Rather than wait for the elusive (read
“non existent”) “perfect” time to invest,
Kent advises his clients to realize that
“there will never be a better time, [your]
inaction is costing [you] the opportunity of
a lifetime!”
“There’s never going to be another op-
portunity like this,” said Kent, “and yes, it’s
supposed to be scary, it’s supposed to be a
little unnerving, but it’s also what makes
it exhilarating, it also makes it very excit-
ing, it also makes it so rewarding when you
finally get there, when you finally achieve
the level of success you desire. ”
