Building Dublin’s Top Real Estate Business with Ray Cooke

In this episode of What It Takes Podcast, I’m joined today by Ray Cooke, a real estate entrepreneur who built one of Dublin’s leading property businesses. We talk about his journey from working in hotel management to opening his first office at just 25 years old. Ray shares how he navigated the challenges of the 2008 financial crisis, from struggling to keep the business afloat to making tough decisions that ultimately helped him grow. He explains how he built his company on relationships, hard work, and a no-frills, customer-focused approach.

We also dive into how social media transformed his business, allowing him to scale from one office to eight by consistently putting himself out there and standing out in a competitive market. Ray shares his insights on resilience, teamwork, and what it really takes to succeed in business. If you’re an entrepreneur, in sales, or thinking about real estate, this episode is packed with valuable lessons.
