Stemming from Senatobia, Mississippi and currently living in Memphis, Tennessee, Q Burdette works as a real estate agent, however, this was not always the game plan. Starting out as a collegiate athlete and stumbling across real estate as a mistake, he detailed how he found this career path — as well as how he became the number two real estate agent in the country — in an interview posted to his Instagram profile.
“I’m the first in my family to ever go to college. I played football and ran track, so I had double duty. Within my small town, I’m only one of two that has ever played football in the SEC… I wanted something different, so I just Googled ‘What profession can I make what I’m worth?’ and real estate popped up. I didn’t have a clue about real estate, but fast forward two or three years later, I was the number two agent in the U.S.”
When he is not selling homes, Q enjoys fishing, riding four-wheelers, riding jet skis, and more, with his friends describing him as “the crazy risk-taking friend,” as well as someone that they can always count on.
Will the “brave, polite, and proud” castaway manage to take home the title of “Sole Survivor” and the million-dollar cash prize? He seems to think so…
“You could put me up against anybody and they’re done… I want to be in control from the start, so you know, I have to be careful to not make the bed that I don’t want to lay in, and if I can make it to that final three, I will have the best Tribal Council you guys ever seen. I can promise you that.”
