Those early days in real estate are hard: for most of us, the experience was a mix of extreme overwhelm, too many spinning wheels, and the chaos of constantly throwing real estate spaghetti at the walls to see what sticks. 

But for Kara, it’s been just a year into her journey as a full time real estate agent and her words to describe it has been organized, clear, and consistent. Now, THAT is a sense of empowerment and confidence we can all get behind!

Kara is a real estate professional out of Houston, TX and Market Authority Academy alum who shares her story with us about how she went from completely overwhelmed to confidently building a scalable business that is just as beautiful and fulfilling as her personal life. We discuss her favorite systems, follow up, and marketing strategies that have helped her grow in her first year, and finish our conversation with a bit of live coaching that gives her the plan she needs to close out the year on the best note possible. 

I hope you love this conversation just as much as I did!

You can connect with her on Instagram at @karamclaneyrealtor

Today I am so excited to welcome friend and Market Authority Academy alum, Vivien, to the podcast! This is a super inspiring conversation that I know you are going to love!

Vivien is a newer agent that I think we can ALL learn important lessons from. Vivien is one of the best agents I know at identifying a goal, and single-mindedly going after it.

She's a master of the behaviors that INEVITABLY lead to success: getting out of her own way to stick with the process.

Success is a result of the tiny actions you take each day, that, over time, snowball into really cool wins. Vivien embodies this principle and shares the lessons that she has learned that we can all take something from.

We ended our conversation with some live coaching and I think you're going to get a LOT out of this episode!

With each new threshold in your business comes the question: What next?

How do I keep growing?

How do I get past these new obstacles and challenges?

What do I need to change to get to the next level?

To meet new, exciting milestones, you will either need a new strategy, new guidance, or both. In today's podcast episode on the Market Authority Show, I break down the difference between the two and help you understand which might be most called for in this season of your business.

In this business there is a lot of competition and it has never been more important to stand out from the crowd. But if I asked you, what makes you different? Why would someone want to hire you over your competition? Would you be able to answer? This is one of the most important questions I had to answer to get us to top producer status so I decided to dedicate a whole episode on the Market Authority Show to this special topic.

I’m so excited for you to hear from a sweet friend and MAA Alum Rhonda Gilliland! Rhonda has a story that I think many can relate to: after dreaming for years, she was finally ready to take the courageous leap into full-time real estate in 2021. Rhonda was super strategic in how she rallied support for her endeavor and made sure she had everything she needed to succeed in her first full year of real estate. This story is super inspiring and a realistic look at what new agents should be doing to give themselves a competitive advantage to succeed.

You guys LOVED LOVED the episode we shared recently on the Market Authority Show featuring Matt Muscat.

 Well, after that, Matt invited me to be a guest on his podcast (#sharingiscaring) and I had so much fun sharing my journey from clueless newbie to top producing agent, and how we run things in our real estate business today. 

 I was really excited that Matt let us share this episode on our side of the Market Authority Show as well, so I sure hope you enjoy!
