Little did Gregg Pechmann know how much his life would change after a counseling session with one of the counselors who works at Dave Ramsey’s office.
Pechmann was a mortgage broker for 5 years in Florida and dabbled in real estate investing, eventually owning over 21 properties worth more than $6 million. That amount quickly plummeted when the real estate market fell. Pechmann decided to sell his properties, but unfortunately he wasn’t able to sell them fast enough. As a result, he took a hard hit financially.
Through his job, Pechmann recognized the need for financial counseling. He discovered that his passion was helping others through financial difficulties. “At least 2 or 3 people a week called me and didn’t know what to do because they were upside down $200,000 on their house,” he explained.
It was time for a plan.
Pechmann and his wife, Sharon, sat down together and wrote out their financial goals. They agreed to sell everything and considered moving to a different state or into a new career. Four days after moving to Johnson City, Tennessee, they headed to Nashville to meet with one of our counselors. Their counseling session made such a profound impact on their lives that Pechmann decided to attend Dave Ramsey’s Certified Counselor Training.
“I wanted to become a certified counselor to help educate people that there is never good debt. You are truly a slave to the lender when you owe the lender money. I have a fiery passion and compassion to meet people where they are and guide them through the process to financial freedom,” said Pechmann.
How He’s Helping Others
Now he’s counseling others on how to get out of debt, create a plan for their money, and pay cash for purchases. Plus, he has counseled many families who have been hit especially hard with the down real estate market.
When people meet with Pechmann for a counseling session, they feel like they are talking to a friend. “They understand that I have been in their shoes. That automatically breaks down any barriers and gives the person a sense of hope and trust that I know what I am talking about,” he said. Pechmann wants to help individuals and families be proactive about conquering their debt.
After a session, people feel empowered and ready to take action. “This translates into them becoming more confident and changing their outlook.” Pechmann considers the satisfaction he gets from serving people to be the best thing about being a certified counselor.
“The Certified Counselor Training further inspired my passion to change the way people view money and spending,” Pechmann stated.
