In this episode of Entre Tías y Amiguis, we sit down with Esthela Duran, a powerhouse in the real estate industry and a dear friend of nearly two decades. Esthela’s journey is anything but conventional, taking her from a small town in Michoacán, Mexico, to Sacramento, where she’s made waves as a RE/MAX Hall of Fame realtor and former President of NAHREP Greater Sacramento. We delve into her experiences navigating life and career on her own terms, the challenges of breaking away from societal expectations, and the resilience it takes to live a “non-linear life.” Join us as we explore what it means to find success, joy, and fulfillment beyond traditional paths.
