# About REI Agent

> REI Agent is a real estate investor education platform founded by Mattias and Erica Clymer -- a husband-and-wife team who believe the best way to build lasting wealth is to practice what you preach.

## Mattias Clymer

Mattias is a real estate agent and investor based in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley. He hosts the REI Agent podcast with his wife Erica, sharing the systems, strategies, and deal breakdowns that have shaped their investing journey. He is passionate about using technology and automation to build a business that funds a portfolio -- not the other way around. Mattias believes agents have a unique structural advantage as investors: early access to deals, deep market knowledge, and professional networks that most outside investors simply can't replicate.

## Erica Clymer

Erica is a licensed therapist and real estate investor who co-hosts the REI Agent podcast alongside Mattias. She brings a grounded, human perspective to every conversation -- focused on what it actually looks like to build an investment portfolio alongside a career, a family, and real life. Erica keeps the content honest, relatable, and rooted in real experience rather than theory.

## Our Mission

To help real estate agents build genuine wealth -- not just commissions. By combining professional expertise with investor mindset, we believe agents are uniquely positioned to create financial freedom. The REI Agent platform -- podcast, blog, and free resources -- is built to give every agent-investor the strategies and tools they need to get started and keep going.
