Listen Later

In this episode, Chris and Matt sit down with RETSY agent Andrea Sammons to discuss her incredible transition from one of the highest levels of the tech world to luxury real estate. With a background leading investor relations and AI initiatives at powerhouses like Microsoft and Amazon, Andrea explains why she left the safety of the corporate ladder to pursue her entrepreneurial passion for property and design. Since joining RETSY just ten months ago, she has leveraged her unique finance and marketing expertise to skyrocket her sales volume by nearly 500% year-to-date. Andrea shares how her deep understanding of data allows her to provide unparalleled, proactive service to her clients, proving that success in this industry comes down to over-communicating and outworking the competition.


The conversation also tackles the elephant in the room: Will Artificial Intelligence replace real estate agents? Andrea and the hosts also discuss the booming future of the Phoenix and Scottsdale markets, the importance of treating real estate as an inflation-proof investment, and how utilizing advanced brokerage tech can get a luxury listing sold in a single day. Whether you are an agent looking to level up your client experience or a buyer navigating the current market, Andrea’s insights are an absolute masterclass.
