Listener Q&A — Real Estate Tips, Lessons, and Laughs

This episode is Part 2 of our listener Q&A series, and it dives deep into what I wish I knew as a new realtor. From early career mistakes to boundary-setting, marketing strategies, and team decisions, this conversation covers the realities agents face every day.

What I Wish I Knew as a New Realtor

Looking back, one of the biggest lessons is the importance of boundaries—both with clients and other agents. Early on, it’s easy to treat everything as urgent, but learning to respect time (yours and others’) builds professionalism and confidence.

Networking Without Burnout

You don’t need to be “on” all the time. Authentic relationships matter more than forced conversations. Whether at family events, school functions, or the grocery store, being human will always outperform sales tactics.

Marketing That Actually Works

We talk honestly about postcard farming, handwritten notes, and why consistency beats random marketing efforts. Personal touches still matter—but only when paired with intention and follow-through.

Teams, Assistants, and Business Structure

Joining a team or hiring help should never be a reaction to overwhelm. Understanding your numbers, systems, and long-term goals is key before making big business decisions.

Lead Generation Without the Ick

We challenge traditional lead generation ideas and share how relationship-based business can grow without cold calls or pressure tactics.

This episode is full of reminders that success doesn’t have to look one specific way. Protect your energy, stay professional, and build a business that actually fits your life.
