We had the good fortune of connecting with Crystell Oliver and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Crystell, is there something that you feel is most responsible for your success?
The most important factor behind my success is the ability to help others. For many people, they are taught home ownership is beyond their reach and that it can’t be accomplished. So many people aren’t taught financial literacy or how to have good credit. My goal is to change this by teaching others how to build great credit and keep it, as well as creating at least 100 new homeowners a year.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
I founded Dream Team Solutions LLC, with the intention of assisting others with their tax and credit needs; with real estate being added as a later passion. With our firm, we provide tax preparation services to clients nationwide, help individuals manage and maintain their personal credit, and also help individuals purchase/sell real estate properties. As a realtor, I am licensed to sell homes to clients in Georgia, Tennessee, or Mississippi. I also am working towards my brokerage license and to become licensed in additional states.

What sets my business apart from other competitors is that I truly care and look out for the best interest of each of my clients from tax preparation to my real estate clients. Many of my clients utilize us for multiple services and refer their friends, family, and associates to me as well. I got to where I am today business-wise by seeing how I was treated by other service providers and wanting others not to deal with the same level of service. Starting a business wasn’t easy, but I knew that there was more to life than to work 60 and 70 hours a week and not have any flexibility for a true work-life balance. Along the entrepreneurship journey, I have learned many lessons and ensure to tell others about my mistakes so that they can avoid the same. It took hard work, discipline, and sacrifices to get to where I am, but I did it and want to show others that it is possible.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
Anywhere that serves great food and wine. I’m very laid back and Houston’s is often my go-to for business and personal.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I would like to dedicate my shoutout to everyone who has believed in me and helped in some way on my entrepreneurial journey whether if its being a client, referring a client, or giving encouraging words of support.
