So you want to be a REALTOR or hire one?

In this episode, we’re diving into two important topics that affect both sides of the real estate world: choosing the right REALTOR® and what you need to know if you're thinking about becoming one.

For those curious about getting into real estate, we pull back the curtain on what it really takes to succeed in this industry. Spoiler alert: it’s so much more than loving houses and going to open houses. This is often a second or third career path, but we encourage anyone considering this journey to do their due diligence—ask questions, explore the realities of the work, and make sure it’s the right fit for you. And when it comes to choosing a brokerage, go deeper than picking the one with the most signs around town. Look at company culture, training, support, and what kind of leadership is available to help you grow.

On the flip side, if you're in the market to hire a REALTOR®, we walk you through the key questions to ask: What’s their experience? How do they market? How often do they communicate? What sets them apart? It’s about finding someone you trust, who puts your needs first—and sometimes, that simply comes down to finding the personality you feel most confident working with.

Whether you're dreaming of a career in real estate or trying to find the perfect REALTOR® to guide your next big move, this episode is packed with practical advice and insights to help you make the right choice.
