From Broke to Broker

Real estate. Real stories. Real people.

This is not a book about houses. It is a book about the people behind them. Veterans, families, first-time buyers, investors, grandparents, dreamers, and ordinary people navigating extraordinary chapters of life.

Through real client stories and lessons learned as a California real estate broker, Varun Ish Nanda shares the moments that shaped his philosophy of service, trust, resilience, and wealth-building.

Every transaction tells a story. Some are about money. Most are about people.
