Wisdom, Boundaries, and Keeping It Real in Real Estate

In this episode of Hustle Humbly, we’re bringing you a powerhouse of energy and experience—Lee Brown. From her viral real estate rants to her deep industry involvement, Lee shares invaluable realtor life lessons learned over nearly two decades in the business. Whether you’re new to real estate or deep into your career, this conversation will challenge your perspective on boundaries, professionalism, and sustainable success.

Creating a Career That Works for You

Lee reminds us that success doesn’t have to look like nonstop hustle. She opens up about intentionally scaling her real estate team to maintain balance and how she prioritizes boundaries without sacrificing income. She explains how not working Sundays and controlling her appointment schedule made her more effective and respected. Realtor life lessons often come the hard way—but Lee’s here to make them easier.

The Power of Saying No and Setting Boundaries

Lee doesn’t shy away from the truth: if you don’t set your own boundaries, real estate will take over your life. She talks openly about how working 24/7 leads to burnout and broken relationships. Instead, she encourages agents to own their schedule, communicate clearly with clients, and remember they’re running a business—not being run by one.

Redefining Success in Real Estate

Forget the trophies. Lee challenges the industry’s obsession with production-based awards and instead calls for celebrating agents who serve their clients and communities well. We discuss how redefining success helps you align your business with your values—something far more rewarding than chasing volume.

How Video Changed Her Business

Lee dives into how video content helped her connect more authentically with her audience. She shares how showing her true self on video grew trust with her clients before they ever picked up the phone. Another powerful realtor life lesson: let people see who you really are.
