The I Know a Guy Network

Stop chasing leads. Start attracting them.

I’ve been self-employed for 41 years. I own a real estate firm with 120+ agents, a construction company since 1985, and I’ve survived every market crash since the mid-80s. I didn’t survive by cold calling; I survived because of the "I Know a Guy" philosophy—a system for building a web of professional referrals that makes you the most valuable person in the room.

Inside, we focus on:

I’m Joseph Baratta—licensed broker, instructor, and author of Balancing Act, I Know a Guy, and Get Off the Couch. No jargon. Just plain English on building a business and a life that lasts. See you inside.

The Referral System: Access the vetting tools I use to build a 100% referral-based business.

Business Resilience: The "Get Off the Couch" mindset to stay sharp for the long haul.

The Classroom: Training modules I’ve developed for my agents and college-level courses.
