  • New Podcast Episode: Taking Your Real Estate Team from Local to National

    Have you ever dreamed of expanding your real estate team beyond your local market? In this episode, I’m sharing the journey of how my business partner, Vicki Noufal, and I took our Platinum Group Real Estate Team from serving a single region to operating in 14 states + D.C.—a milestone that was years in the making!

    The challenges we faced and the lessons we learned along the way
    Why getting comfortable with being uncomfortable is key to leadership
    How we transitioned from a traditional team model to a nationally scalable structure
    The importance of constant evolution in business
    Why community and collaboration are the heart of long-term success

    Plus, I’m announcing the launch of our Team Leader Forum—a dedicated space for team leaders (or aspiring ones!) to connect, strategize, and grow together.

    If you’ve been thinking about expanding your team—or just want insight into what it takes to build a thriving, adaptable real estate business—this episode is for you!

  • On this episode of Empowering Women in Real Estate - The Podcast, I’m sharing how I turned my chaotic mornings into the most joyful and productive part of my day. It all started with an observation of a neighbor’s seemingly peaceful life, which helped me realize that what I truly wanted wasn’t her life—it was time freedom in my mornings.

    I’ll walk you through the three steps I used to create a life I love:

    Getting clear on what I really wanted. Asking for specific help. Taking small, intentional actions that added up over time. These changes have made a dramatic difference in my life and my business. If you’re ready to reclaim your time, set boundaries, and design a life that aligns with your values, this episode is for you.

  • Did you know that statistically speaking, the majority of the transactions that you close in 2025 will be generated in first quarter? If there was ever a time to solidify a prospecting habit in your business, it is right now! Here’s the thing … a lot of us feel “repelled” by prospecting, and that is a mindset. Usually because of what we perceive prospecting to me, both in terms of the activities themselves and the time that it takes. I’m here to de-bunk all of those myths for you today. In episode 336 of Empowering Women in Real Estate® - The Podcast, I’m sharing all about “Everyday Prospecting” … the why, what and how. By the end of this episode you will have what you need to know to train your brain to see opportunities for your real estate business everywhere and every day.

  • It’s that time of year … winter is coming, and not just the official first day of winter this weekend, but metaphorical winter in your business. Chances are you’ve not just taken your foot off the gas in your business this holiday season, but you’ve probably slammed on the brakes too. If you don’t have a plan to get back to it … or better yet, a plan that prevents you from being on the real estate roller coaster over and over again … it will be spring before your business gets back on track. And nobody can afford that. On today’s episode of Empowering Women in Real Estate® - The Podcast I’m talking through how to make it through winter, and how to get off the real estate roller coaster too.

  • There is more than one way to be successful in real estate. The traditional path that has been laid out for all of us … on a team, solo agent, team leader or broker … isn’t the only way. I am living proof of that having been or currently having a multitude of creative roles in the industry. On today’s episode of Empowering Women in Real Estate® - The Podcast, I have two things for you … First, a quick recap of Reinvention Roadmap, the 4th Annual Empowering Women in Real Estate® Conference. This year’s even was truly our best, and my absolute favorite. Second, I’m sharing with you a behind the scenes recording of my conference keynote presentation, Consistent Real Estate Success: Strategies for Every Stage. In this presentation I talk through the evolution of my real estate career, as well as the strategies that have helped me to be consistently successful at each stage. From new agent, to established agent, to starting over, to referral agent. Listen in on your favorite podcast app, or by clicking the link below!

  • No matter how long you have been in the real estate industry, chances are you have had to get creative a time or two. Whether it is getting creative to get a deal done, seeking out creative options with lenders or vendors to serve your clients, or just getting creative in your marketing or how you go about finding clients. What I think a lot of us are not creative in doing is in how we run our businesses. There are far more options and choices available to us than I think we realize. If I haven’t had the opportunity to experience some of these myself, I’d have no idea. Running a successful real estate business isn’t just based on selling houses. There’s property management, investing, flipping, the creator economy (getting paid to teach/share what you know), and so much more. Recently I had the opportunity to speak on a panel at D3, the annual conference for my local association, the Dulles Area Association of Realtors. On today’s episode of Empowering Women in Real Estate® - The Podcast I am sharing my thoughts as well as the recording of that presentation.

  • How do you know when to quit something? Whether it is your real estate career (spending more than you are making) or something else, I think we all hit this crossroads at one point or another in our lives. Maybe it’s not that you need to quit something, maybe you are just finished. As in, you have finished what you started. You have reached completion on whatever it is. I think that is a beautiful way to look at it. Whatever the case may be for you, or whatever you are debating right now, I think you will find today’s episode of Empowering Women in Real Estate® - The Podcast to be helpful.

  • Take a deep breath for a second … Are you feeling overwhelmed? Feel like you are letting people down? Feel like you are being pulled in a thousand different directions? Are you trying so hard to be all things to all people, but you end up feeling like you are failing left, right and center instead? This episode of Empowering Women in Real Estate® - The Podcast is for you. And me. Part pep talk, part therapy session. Protecting your peace means getting clear on your priorities and what is most important to you, then applying boundaries and “fulfillment overlap” where you can.
