What if your biggest competition could become your greatest ally? In this episode of Hustle Humbly, Katy and Alissa explore the idea that thriving in real estate doesn’t require tearing others down — in fact, it works better when you lift each other up.

This is the heartbeat of the podcast — community over competition — and today they’re diving deep into what that means in the real world of listings, clients, closings, and colleagues.

Why “Community Over Competition” Isn’t Just a Slogan

Katy and Alissa share their own story of building trust, community, and even friendship — despite working for different brokerages.

They unpack why this mindset creates:

• More referrals and respect
• Better collaboration across transactions
• Less burnout and isolation
• A positive reputation in your market

The Real-Life Benefits of Supporting Other Agents

Kindness isn’t weakness. The ladies share stories of:

• Referring clients to other agents and getting referrals back
• Answering “newbie” questions without condescension
• Celebrating each other’s wins — even on social media

Being generous in your relationships always comes back around.

How to Stop Comparing Yourself to Other Agents

Comparison is the thief of joy — and productivity. Katy and Alissa talk about:

• Unfollowing accounts that trigger comparison
• Identifying your own strengths and voice
• Measuring progress instead of perfection

You are not behind — you’re building a business that’s uniquely yours.

Community Inside Your Brokerage and Beyond

This mindset doesn’t stop with your friends. Katy and Alissa share how to:

• Foster collaboration within your brokerage
• Support cross-office agents with kindness
• Be a helpful transaction partner — even on the other side

Community grows when you lead by example.
