What does it really take to thrive in real estate through market shifts, personal doubt, and national-level policy debates? In this lively, unfiltered conversation, co-hosts Sarah Biernbaum and Emmanuel St. Germain sit down with powerhouse realtor Monica Hands—Florida NAR Director, co-broker at Century 21 Hansen, and someone who’s seen the grind from AOL dial-up days to DC-level influence. From slouch-shaming chairs and yoga in Peru to the frustrating realities of deceptive refinancing mailers and condo chaos, this episode covers it all with humor, heart, and hard-won wisdom.
Monica opens up about her early career insecurities, why she still loves selling after 22 years, and how she balances advocacy with the day-to-day hustle of helping agents thrive. They unpack the truth about trigger leads, shady marketing tactics, and what the industry really needs to get better—from contract comprehension to better buyer consultations. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or thinking about your first real estate class, you’ll leave this conversation fired up, better informed, and laughing along the way.
