In this NEW episode of the Get Real Estate podcast, host Latane Meade sits down with Karen Cooper, founder of The Platinum Group and Empowering Women in Real Estate Facebook Community, to unpack how she went from “accidental agent” to leading a team across 18 states and a community of 40,000+ women in the industry.

Karen shares how a layoff from pharma, a for-sale-by-owner deal, and a refusal to leave her small Virginia town led to a 23-year career in real estate. She walks through her path from Rainmaker team member to managing broker to nationwide team leader, and why she believes quality of life is not a myth for high-producing women in this business.

They dig into how the brokerage world is changing, why cloud brokerages like Real are rewriting the office-space equation, and what “commission compression” really feels like for team leaders today. Karen also breaks down the origin story of Empowering Women in Real Estate, how it grew to tens of thousands of members, what her Inner Circle looks like, and the systems and boundaries that let her generate $15–20M in volume a year without personally running around to showings.

If you’re a driven woman in real estate who wants to build a bigger business, protect your time, and create more income streams without sacrificing your family or sanity, this episode is a playbook.

Ever thought about “passive income” from rentals… and then remembered you don’t want 2 a.m. plumbing calls?

In this episode, Lindsay, CEO of Spartan Invest, breaks down exactly how their turnkey model works, how they grew to 2,000+ single-family doors across Alabama, Tennessee, and Georgia, and why real estate is not a get-rich-quick play.

• How they pick markets and why landlord-friendly states and low taxes matter

• The truth about “passive income” and why your first year should be about learning, not getting rich
