In this episode, we’re pulling back the curtain and letting you get to know us a little better—both as professionals and as people.

Mariesa shares how she went from transaction coordinator to Realtor, what it really takes to make money in real estate (spoiler: it’s not as much as people think), and why 2019 was the turning point in her career.

Danae opens up about how she fell into lending, the puzzle-solving side of mortgages that keeps her excited, and why finding the right mortgage is about more than just chasing the lowest rate.

We also dive into:
