Empowering Women in Real Estate - The Podcast with Karen Cooper: Recent Episodes
Karen Cooper
Empowering Women in Real Estate. Listen in as I share stories and tips from my life and business, and interview some of my favorite people.
Social media has changed—a lot. And if you're still approaching it the same way you did a few years ago, you may be putting in a whole lot of effort without seeing much return. On today's episode of Empowering Women in Real Estate® – The Podcast, I'm joined by Alyssa Stalker, Head of Member Education at Coffee & Contracts, for a behind-the-scenes look at what's actually working on social media right now. With more than 6,000 real estate agents using Coffee & Contracts, Alyssa and her team have a unique view into what agents are doing, where they're struggling, and what's getting results. And one of their biggest findings? The challenge isn't necessarily knowing what to post anymore—it's knowing how to turn your content into actual business. We're talking about why raw, real content is outperforming overly polished content, the rise of "comfort content," why your audience probably doesn't want another real estate educational post, and how AI can help you find and refine your voice without replacing it. We also dig into something I think a lot of agents need to hear: more content, more templates, and more ideas aren't necessarily the answer. Without strategy and intention behind what you're doing, more can simply create more overwhelm. If social media has been feeling harder, noisier, or less effective lately, this conversation will help you think differently about how you're showing up—and hopefully take a little pressure off in the process.

Clarity sounds simple, but for so many of us, it can be surprisingly hard to answer one question: What do I actually want?
In Episode 421 of Empowering Women in Real Estate® – The Podcast, I'm wrapping up our conference speaker series by introducing my own session, The Clarity Workshop.
In this episode I'm sharing why clarity has become so important to me personally, how it has shaped some of the biggest shifts in my 24-year real estate career, and why I believe so many women spend years operating on autopilot without stopping long enough to ask whether the business and life they've built still fit who they are today.
We're talking about the difference between wanting more simply for the sake of more and intentionally deciding what you actually want more—and less—of. I share some of the choices I've made around motherhood, production, leadership, my mornings, my business, and even the things I had to stop doing simply because I had always done them.
And perhaps most importantly, we talk about this idea:
You can't choose an option you don't know exists.
Sometimes clarity doesn't mean having the whole next chapter figured out. It might simply mean recognizing what you no longer want, questioning something you've always assumed was a given, or identifying one small shift that moves you closer to the life you want.
If you're joining us at the Empowering Women in Real Estate® Conference, this episode is a preview of the work we'll do together during our final 90 minutes. And if you won't be there, I hope it inspires you to make an appointment with yourself, get quiet, and start asking some of these questions anyway.
Because five or ten years are going to pass either way. The question is whether you'll be any closer to the life you actually want when they do. Click subscribe to be notified every Wednesday when our latest episode is released, and be sure to check out our group on Facebook.

If your business has felt a little quiet this summer, resist the urge to panic, buy more leads, or completely reinvent your marketing.
Start by reconnecting with the people you already know.
In this episode of Empowering Women in Real Estate® – The Podcast, Karen shares practical, relationship-focused ways to re-engage your database as summer winds down and routines begin again. From simple text messages and handwritten notes to showing up on social media, asking better questions, and completing a full database refresh, these ideas will help you rebuild momentum without making every interaction about real estate.
Karen also shares why reconnecting should never be a disguised sales pitch, how small and consistent touches can keep relationships alive for decades, and the story of a client she had not heard from in more than 20 years who still remembered her when it was time to make a referral.
Your database doesn't need constant attention or perfect marketing. They simply need to know that you are still here, still in business, and still ready to help.
Listen in for simple ways to reconnect, create momentum, and begin preparing your business now for the spring market ahead.

What does it really take to become self-managed—and why do so many capable people struggle to follow through on what they already know?
On today's episode of Empowering Women in Real Estate® – The Podcast, I'm joined by Soni Graves and Steve Rigby of New Wings Consulting for a conversation about relationships, accountability, self-management, and the choices that shape both our success and our quality of life.
Soni shares how more than 35 years in sales and leadership taught her that business has always been—and will always be—about people. We also talk about why asking for support does not mean giving up control, the role accountability plays in helping us grow, and why success without a meaningful life is not really success at all.
Soni also gives us a preview of her keynote at the 2026 Empowering Women in Real Estate® Conference, The 6 Keys of Empowerment. She walks us through the questions that help us move from where we are now to where we want to be: what, where, why, when, how, and who—along with the seventh key that ultimately determines everything: which choice will you make?
Listen in for an honest and practical conversation about moving beyond knowledge, choosing excellence, and creating a life and business where you are supported, accountable, and empowered to follow through.

What happens when you keep every promise you make to everyone else—but repeatedly break the ones you make to yourself?
In this episode of Empowering Women in Real Estate® – The Podcast, Karen sits down with Rosemary Lewis, associate broker, coach, and "real estate bestie," for an honest conversation about self-trust, faith, vulnerability, and the small commitments that shape who we become.
Rosemary shares how a nudge to "go help" led her from teaching into real estate, how success and loss changed the way she views business, and why no amount of striving can fill the places that require deeper healing and faith.
Together, Karen and Rosemary explore how repeatedly putting yourself last can quietly erode your confidence—and how keeping even one meaningful promise to yourself can begin to rebuild trust, unlock courage, and change the way you show up in your life, relationships, and business.
You'll also hear why asking for help is not a sign of weakness, the importance of being vulnerable in the right rooms, and Rosemary's encouragement for any woman who feels discouraged by her year so far: focus on what you can do today. The basics may be boring, but they work.
This conversation is a powerful reminder that you do not have to outwork your pain, hide in plain sight, or keep removing yourself from your own priority list.

You can be successful, earn a strong income, and still feel financially stressed.
For many women in real estate, the problem isn't the ability to make money. It's that no one ever taught us how to manage inconsistent income, prepare for taxes, create financial stability, or run the business side of the business.
In this episode of Empowering Women in Real Estate® – The Podcast, Karen sits down with business strategist and bestselling author Michelle Jacobik to talk about the hidden financial pressure successful women often carry—and why earning more money doesn't automatically create more peace.
Michelle shares why revenue without a system can actually make the financial gaps in your business bigger, how financial avoidance erodes self-trust, and what it takes to build real clarity, confidence, and stability in both your business and personal finances.
They also talk about shifting from "what-if worry" to "what-if possibility," Michelle's standing Friday appointment with her voice of doubt, and how one courageous investment led to an extraordinary opportunity with Ed Mylett.
Michelle will also be speaking at the 2026 Empowering Women in Real Estate® Conference, where she'll help attendees uncover the financial stress hiding beneath their success and begin creating a path toward greater profit and personal peace.

For the past 12 years, Karen Cooper has had a front-row seat to the experiences of tens of thousands of women in real estate through her community, Empowering Women in Real Estate®.
And across every level of success, certain patterns continue to appear.
Every woman questions herself. Every woman loses clients, makes mistakes, and considers quitting at some point. The women with the most staying power are not the ones who avoid hard seasons, but the ones who learn how to recover, evolve, and build their businesses in a way that can evolve with them. And so much more.
In this special anniversary episode, Karen shares what 12 years of Empowering Women in Real Estate® has taught her about mindset, consistency, comparison, relationships, ego, and the importance of surrounding yourself with people who expand what you believe is possible.
You'll hear why there is no substitute for doing the work, why connecting with people matters more than your CRM or branding, and why there is no single right way to build a successful real estate business.
Most of all, this episode is a reminder that you are not the only one navigating doubt, disappointment, change, or uncertainty—and you are allowed to create a business that supports the life you want now.

In this episode of Empowering Women in Real Estate® – The Podcast, Karen sits down with style coach Afton Porter for a conversation that goes far beyond fashion.
Together, they explore how style impacts confidence, presence, personal branding, and the way women show up in their businesses — especially in midlife. Afton shares why the clothes in your closet may no longer reflect the woman you are today, how color and presentation influence first impressions, and why becoming unforgettable starts with feeling aligned, authentic, and confident in your own skin.
If you have ever looked in your closet and felt like nothing works anymore, or wondered how to show up more confidently in your business without pretending to be someone you're not, this episode is for you.

What if one of the biggest factors impacting your business isn't your marketing, your scripts, or your systems—but your nervous system?
In this powerful conversation, Karen sits down with psychologist, trauma specialist and neuroscientist Dr. Monique Thompson to explore how stress, anxiety and an overwhelmed nervous system quietly shape the way we lead, communicate, make decisions and show up for our clients.
Drawing from more than 25 years of clinical experience, Dr. Monique shares practical, science-backed tools that can help you regulate your nervous system in just minutes—without expensive programs, complicated routines or adding more to your already full plate.
Together, they discuss:
- Why women often carry stress differently—and what to do about it
- The surprising connection between your nervous system and your business performance
- How social media and constant input teach us to disconnect from ourselves
- A simple five-minute practice that can help you quiet your mind and access your own inner wisdom
- Why self-acceptance isn't self-excusal—and how embracing who you are changes everything
- How to "outnumber the not helpful" by building healthier support systems
- Why the most important tool you'll ever need is one you've had your entire life: yourself
Whether you're feeling burned out, anxious, overwhelmed, or simply ready to lead your business from a healthier place, this conversation offers practical hope and simple tools you can begin using today.
This isn't just a conversation about mental health.
It's a conversation about becoming the kind of leader—and woman—you were created to be.

In this episode of Empowering Women in Real Estate® - The Podcast, Karen is joined by Marcella Oakley and Elia Alfonso for a powerful conversation on presence, confidence, safety, emotional regulation, and leading through high-pressure moments.
Marcella and Elia bring their backgrounds in law enforcement, hostage negotiation, crisis management, defensive tactics, and real estate to talk about the tools women need but are rarely taught in this industry. From walking into a room with confidence, to managing client emotions, to regulating yourself before reacting, this episode is a reminder that presence is not about being loud or aggressive. It is about being grounded, aware, and able to lead.
This conversation is especially relevant for women in real estate who are constantly managing stress, crisis, negotiations, and other people's emotions while trying to protect their own peace, safety, and confidence.

What if the key to growing your business isn't another marketing tactic, but simply being more of yourself?
In this episode of Empowering Women in Real Estate®, I'm joined by speaker, coach, and personal branding expert Krista Demcher for a powerful conversation about authenticity, visibility, and why you are your most important business asset.
Krista shares how her own journey from struggling salesperson to successful entrepreneur taught her that people don't connect with perfection. They connect with real people. Together, we discuss why so many women in real estate hold themselves back from showing up online, how to build confidence in selling yourself without feeling salesy, and why your unique personality is actually your greatest marketing advantage.
We also dive into the role of storytelling, personal branding, social media, and the importance of embracing what makes you different instead of trying to blend in.
If you've ever felt uncomfortable promoting yourself, struggled with what to post on social media, or worried about being judged for showing up online, this episode is for you.
In this episode, we discuss:
- Why authenticity matters more than ever in an AI-driven world
- How to sell yourself without feeling pushy or salesy
- The connection between personal branding and client trust
- Why trying to appeal to everyone often appeals to no one
- The power of sharing your story
- Krista's framework of Style, Stance, and Story
- Why "real beats perfect" every time

We are halfway through the year, and this is the perfect time to pause, reflect, and refresh.
In this episode of Empowering Women in Real Estate® - The Podcast, Karen shares a thoughtful mid-year refresh process for women in real estate. This is not just about reviewing numbers or checking whether you are on pace with your goals. It is about acknowledging what has worked, celebrating what you have accomplished, reviewing the data in your business, and giving yourself permission to adjust what no longer fits.
Karen walks you through three key areas: acknowledge and celebrate, take inventory and review the data, and set the course for the second half of the year.
You will hear practical questions to help you evaluate where your business has come from, what marketing is actually working, what habits may need to shift, and how you want the rest of your year to feel.
Because sometimes the most powerful thing you can do at mid-year is not push harder.
It is pause, refresh, and choose what comes next with intention.
And don't forget, this is also our July Monthly Meet Up topic inside our Empowering Women in Real Estate® community. I would love for you to join us in person or virtually.

What if the thing holding you back in your business isn't your marketing, your systems, or your lead generation strategy?
What if it's your nervous system?
In this powerful conversation, Karen sits down with mindset and business coach Jaemi Pierson to talk about why so many ambitious women are operating in a constant state of urgency, overwhelm, and reactivity—and how it's impacting both their businesses and their lives.
Together, they explore the connection between nervous system regulation, decision-making, burnout, comparison, boundaries, and sustainable success. Jamie shares why investing in yourself may be the most important business investment you can make and offers practical strategies to create more calm, focus, and clarity in your day.
If you've ever felt exhausted by the constant pressure to do more, be more, or keep up, this conversation is for you.
In this episode, we discuss:
• Why your nervous system is one of your greatest business assets • The difference between being reactive and being regulated • How comparison pulls you out of your own success • Why boundaries create better businesses and stronger client relationships • The hidden cost of constant accessibility and phone addiction • How to create more white space, clarity, and focus in your day • Building a business that feels as good as it looks
This episode is a reminder that sustainable success doesn't come from doing more. It comes from learning how to lead yourself first.

In this episode of Empowering Women in Real Estate® - The Podcast, I'm joined by Christina Mesones for a conversation about dual career agents and the support they need to succeed. Christina shares her journey from more than 20 years in the title industry to becoming a real estate agent, mentor, and resource for agents who are building their business while also balancing another career.
We talk about the stigma dual career agents often face, why "part-time agent" doesn't tell the whole story, and how systems, support, mentorship, and community can make all the difference.
If you are a dual career agent, or you've ever felt like you were trying to build your business with limited time and limited support, this episode is for you.

On this episode of Empowering Women in Real Estate® - The Podcast, I'm sharing a very personal reflection as I approach my 53rd birthday.
For a long time, I thought success at this stage of life would mean having it all figured out. More confidence. Less pressure. More freedom. More certainty.
But what I've learned is that success in midlife often looks very different than what we imagined in our 20s and 30s.
In this episode, I'm talking about:
- burnout and recovery
- the pressure of social media and constant industry noise
- achievement vs. fulfillment
- sustainability in business and life
- health, boundaries, and authenticity
- evolving instead of holding on
- creating freedom intentionally
- learning to stop trying to please everyone
- and what success actually means to me now at 53
This is an honest conversation about midlife, growth, and building a business and life that feel as good on the inside as they look on the outside.
Thank you for listening.

Summer can bring a shift in routines, priorities and energy — both for you and your clients. In this episode, Karen shares practical, creative and relationship-focused marketing ideas to help you stay visible and consistent during the summer months without sacrificing your quality of life.
From summer pop-bys and local events to newsletters, postcards, vendor partnerships and back-to-school marketing ideas, this episode is packed with simple strategies you can implement right away.
Karen also shares her philosophy on avoiding the "summer shutdown" that often leads to burnout and inconsistent business cycles — and why a slow, steady drip of marketing matters more than going all in and disappearing completely.

In this powerful episode of Empowering Women in Real Estate® - The Podcast, Karen sits down with Maty Bradbury for a deeply honest conversation about burnout, faith, boundaries, healing, and what happens when life forces you to finally be still.
After experiencing two seasons of burnout and a serious car accident, Maty began to recognize that she was the common thread in the stress, pressure, over-responsibility, and constant striving she had been carrying for years.
Together, Karen and Maty talk about tying your worth to production, learning to ask for help, discerning what deserves your energy, and building a real estate business that honors the season of life you are actually in.

When was the last time you gave yourself permission to dream?
In this episode, Karen shares a heartfelt reflection on the "crazy ideas" that shaped her career — from getting into real estate after being laid off, to starting a team, building Empowering Women in Real Estate®, and expanding nationally across 22 states.
Inspired by a recent conversation about the future of the real estate industry, this episode is a reminder that some of the best things in life and business begin as ideas that make no sense … until one day, they do.
If you've been feeling stuck in the monotony of the to-do list, overwhelmed by the day-to-day, or disconnected from what excites you, this conversation will encourage you to pause, reflect, and dream again.
Because sometimes the next chapter of your life starts with one simple question:"What if?"

What if an open house wasn't just a weekend activity, but part of your daily business-building system?
In this episode, I'm joined by Lisa Archer, a 21+ year realtor and team leader serving multiple markets across the Carolinas and beyond. Lisa shares the simple, consistent open house strategy her team uses to generate listings, attract buyers, create neighborhood visibility, and build serious momentum.
Last year alone, her team tracked 347 open houses, with 32 listings selling to buyers who came through those open houses.
We talk about how she makes daily open houses work, why "there's no such thing as a bad open house," and how agents can use this strategy even if they don't currently have listings of their own.
If you've been looking for a simple, practical way to create more opportunity in your business, this episode is for you.

What if one of the most powerful ways to grow your real estate business was already all around you?
In this episode, I'm sharing one of the most impactful strategies I've used over the past 20+ years—focusing deeply on my local community. Not in a complicated or overly strategic way, but by simply leaning into what I was already doing and going a little deeper.
From schools and sports to local businesses, social media, and everyday routines, I walk you through how to turn your daily life into meaningful visibility, connection, and long-term business growth—without adding more to your plate.
This isn't about doing more.
It's about doing what you're already doing with more intention.
This conversation is also the focus of our May Empowering Women in Real Estate® Monthly Meet Ups happening in cities across the country—casual, in-person gatherings where women in real estate connect and talk through this exact topic.

What if the skills used in hostage negotiations could completely transform the way you navigate real estate?
In this powerful and eye-opening conversation, I'm joined by Marcella Oakley—real estate team leader, former SVU detective, and trained hostage negotiator turned negotiation coach. Marcella brings a perspective that most agents have never been taught … but desperately need.
Because the truth is—real estate isn't just about contracts and transactions. It's about managing emotions, navigating high-stakes conversations, and guiding people through some of the most stressful moments of their lives.
Inside this episode, we dive into:
- Why real estate agents are actually crisis managers (and how to embrace that role)
- The concept of tactical (cognitive) empathy—and how it builds trust without burnout
- How "fighting" in negotiations often backfires (and what to do instead)
- The hidden cost of defensive communication between agents—and how it impacts your future deals
- Why trust—not pressure—is the foundation of successful negotiations
- How to slow down, ask better questions, and uncover the real story behind your clients' decisions
- The importance of having your own "team" to support you—personally and professionally
- Practical ways to protect your mindset and reduce stress in high-pressure situations
Marcella also shares how these principles don't just improve your deals—they change how you experience your business. Less stress. More connection. Better outcomes for everyone involved.
If you've ever felt the weight of difficult clients, tense negotiations, or the emotional toll of this industry … this episode will give you a completely new way to approach it.
Plus, we're inviting you to go deeper—Marcella will be hosting a free live webinar for our Empowering Women in Real Estate® community, where she'll teach you exactly how to apply these techniques in your business. Use this link to register: https://bit.ly/EWREGrowthSession

In this episode of Empowering Women in Real Estate® - The Podcast, I'm talking about something we do not discuss nearly enough in this industry: stress and anxiety.
So many women in real estate are carrying the weight of constant pressure, nonstop availability, empty pipeline fears, overloaded schedules, burnout, and the emotional toll of trying to keep it all looking fine on the outside. If that sounds familiar, you are not alone.
In this conversation, I'm sharing some of my own very real experiences with stress and anxiety in business and life, how it shows up for me, and a few simple strategies that help me interrupt the spiral when it starts. From gratitude and prayer to getting outside, reducing caffeine, making a list, and creating better boundaries, this episode is an honest look at what it means to care for yourself while building and sustaining your business.

400 episodes … and it all comes down to one thing: consistency.
In this milestone episode, I'm sharing the real lessons behind what it takes to keep showing up. Not just in podcasting, but in your business and your life.
Because consistency isn't about adding more things to your already overcrowded plate, it's about doing the right things … over and over again.
Inside this episode, I share 5 key principles that have helped me:
- build a community of 41,000+ women in real estate
- create a consistent real estate sales business year after year
- stay committed, even when it would have been easier to stop
We talk about:
- why consistency creates momentum
- how to make it easier (not harder)
- and what to do if you've been stuck in an "on and off" cycle
If you've ever struggled with consistency, this episode is for you.
How you start your morning can shape everything that follows.
In this episode of Empowering Women in Real Estate® – The Podcast, I'm joined by bestselling author Jennifer Dukes Lee to talk about how creating intentional morning rituals can bring more peace, purpose, and joy into your day — even in the middle of a busy life and business.
Jennifer shares the inspiration behind her new book How to Love Your Morning (releasing April 7th), and why she believes mornings are not about rigid routines or waking up at 4:30 AM. Instead, they are about creating meaningful rituals that help you begin your day grounded, intentional, and connected to what matters most.
We talk about the difference between a routine and a ritual, how your identity shapes the way you approach mornings, and why even a few intentional minutes at the start of the day can change your mindset and energy.
Jennifer also shares wisdom from interviewing 100 women across different seasons of life about what actually helps them start their day well.
In this episode, we discuss:
• Why mornings are so powerful — and why they matter for busy professionals
• The difference between a morning routine and a morning ritual
• Why you don't have to wake up early to become a "morning person"
• How morning rituals can sustain you during stressful or caregiving seasons
• The surprising impact of "revenge bedtime procrastination" on your mornings
• Practical ideas from women in many stages of life for starting the day with intention
If your mornings often feel rushed, reactive, or chaotic, this conversation will inspire you to rethink how you begin your day — and how a few intentional moments can change everything.

We are nearing the end of the first quarter of the year—and whether business has felt busy or slow, this is the perfect moment to pause and take a look at what's actually happening in your business.
In this episode, I walk you through a simple but powerful 1st Quarter Review process that will help you:
• analyze your closed and pending transactions
• identify the real sources of your business
• evaluate your current pipeline and active opportunities
• reflect on your biggest challenges and successes
• determine whether you're on track to reach your goals for the year
• choose a clear focus for the second quarter
This doesn't have to be complicated or time-consuming. Block an hour, grab your numbers, and walk through the process with me.
A quarterly review is one of the best ways to build a consistent, sustainable real estate business—because it helps you see what's working, what needs attention, and where your next opportunities are.
This episode will give you the framework to do exactly that.

Imposter syndrome doesn't always show up as "I'm not good enough."
Sometimes it shows up as overworking. Overtracking. Overthinking. Comparing. Second-guessing what's already working … and then rebuilding your business (or your identity) from scratch because someone else looks like they're winning harder.
In this episode, I'm joined by Dani Hampton from The Real Dani Show for an honest conversation about how imposter syndrome and comparison feed each other — and why this can be especially costly for successful, high-capacity women in real estate.
We talk about:
- The "inspired to insecure" switch that happens when you scroll
- Why imposter syndrome doesn't go away just because you've been in the business longer
- How comparison can derail momentum (and profitability) in a business that already works
- Defining what a "win" looks like in this season of life
- The importance of grounding routines, faith, and coming back to who you really are
If you've been feeling triggered by what you see online, questioning your value, or tempted to overhaul everything… this is your reminder: you don't need a new identity. You need a clearer connection to your own.

What happens when a 20-year real estate veteran says yes to mentoring a brand-new agent?
In this episode, I sit down with Platinum Group team members Jodi Hooper and Val Ovalle to talk about a modern mentorship story that has transformed both of their businesses.
Jodi has been licensed since 2005. After years of saying she might retire "soon," she found something she didn't know she needed — mentoring.
Val joined our team in late August, received her license in September… and was our Top Producer by December — less than four months into her career.
But this episode isn't about production numbers.
It's about:
- What new agents really need in their first 90 days
- Why mentorship is more than just contracts and compliance
- How experienced agents can build a path toward legacy with mentorship
- The power of collaboration over competition
- And why no one should try to do this business alone
If you're a new agent wondering where to start…
Or a seasoned agent wondering what's next…
This conversation will give you perspective, possibility, and maybe even a new path forward.

What if your next stream of real estate leads didn't come from cold calling, paid ads, or chasing the latest trend, but from building a local online community people genuinely love?
In this episode, I'm joined by Tina Beliveau of Baltimore, MD, a 21-year real estate veteran, team leader, and coach who rebuilt and scaled her business using a hyper-local Facebook community group. Tina breaks down exactly how she runs a group that serves her community, grows consistently, and quietly turns into a reliable lead generator.
You'll hear how she:
- Built a 10,000-member Facebook group in a single zip code
- Systematized the content so it does not require constant effort
- Set clear rules to keep the community positive (and not turn into "Nextdoor")
- Uses simple lead capture methods like join questions, DM templates, and quarterly giveaways
- Turns group members into email subscribers and nurtures them long-term
- Protects the integrity of the group while still staying visible as the local go-to agent
If you've been thinking about starting a community group but feel overwhelmed by the "how," this conversation will give you a practical path forward.

Tina is hosting a free bootcamp to help agents actually launch their Facebook group with a plan for content, growth, and lead capture.

Confidence in real estate isn't about being loud or arrogant.
It's about clarity.
In this episode, I'm breaking down what business confidence really looks like and why owning your value is one of the most important skills you can develop as a real estate professional.
We talk about how confidence shows up in your boundaries, your pricing, your communication, and how you handle difficult situations. I also share why confidence fluctuates (even for experienced agents), how comparison and market shifts quietly erode it, and why tying your confidence to outcomes will always keep you stuck.
I walk you through three core areas every agent must be clear on in order to lead with confidence:
- How you work
- What you charge
- Who you serve
And I close the episode with a simple but powerful exercise to help you reconnect with the value you already bring to the table … especially if you've been feeling unsure, discouraged, or disconnected from your confidence lately.
If you've ever questioned your worth, your pricing, your boundaries, or your place in this industry, this episode is for you.

What if success in real estate didn't have to come at the expense of your presence at home?
In this episode, I'm joined by Kerry McDonald, one of my team's top producers, for a powerful and honest conversation about redefining success in real estate during motherhood.
Kerry shares her journey from a high-volume, hustle-heavy team environment to building a business that supports her life as a mom, without sacrificing income, confidence, or momentum. We talk about betting on yourself, leaning into systems, letting go of hustle culture, and giving yourself permission to define what "enough" really looks like.
If you've ever felt torn between growing your business and being present for your family, this conversation will remind you that there is another way.
In this episode, we discuss:
- What it really means to be "present and profitable"
- Why producing less can sometimes feel more fulfilling
- The power of systems over hustle
- How to plan for growth while honoring your current season
- Redefining success beyond transactions and volume

Teams are hard.
They're complex, emotionally heavy, and often far less profitable than people assume. And if you're leading a team right now that feels more draining than fulfilling … it's time to rethink how your team works, not whether you're cut out for leadership.
In this episode, I'm sharing what I've learned after 11 years as a team leader and two years into national expansion with our team.
I'm walking you through the moments when a team model stops working, and why that's not a failure. Sometimes it's because of success. Sometimes it's the market. Sometimes it's the season of life you're in. And sometimes it's because the "old way" just isn't sustainable anymore … either for you or for your team members.
You'll also hear the specific shifts we made that changed everything … including the biggest mistake we made early in expansion, how we simplified service levels, reduced overhead, and created a structure that's more stable financially and lighter emotionally.
If you're rethinking your team model (whether you want to expand nationally or simply run your local team differently), start here.

Ever open Instagram or Facebook for a quick scroll … and suddenly feel that drop in your stomach?
Someone else just won an award. Signed a pile of listings. Posted a highlight reel that looks so polished. And even if you're happy for them, something in you starts whispering: I'm not doing enough. I'm not doing it right. I'm not good enough.
In this episode, I'm talking about The Comparison Trap — and how it pulls you off track in two big ways: the immediate disruption (the urge to change everything) and the slow erosion of confidence that happens over time.
We'll talk about how to recognize when it's happening, why it's especially costly for experienced agents, and how to get yourself back to center … with clarity, peace, and focus on your definition of a win.

By the end of January, the excitement of a fresh start often fades—and for many women in real estate, consistency is the first thing to slip.
In this episode of Empowering Women in Real Estate® – The Podcast, Karen shares why motivation is unreliable and what actually creates sustainable success. Hustle and willpower only take you so far; clarity, realistic habits, and accountability are what carry you through the rest of the year.
In this episode, you'll learn:
- Why motivation fades (and why that's completely normal)
- How overly complicated habits quietly sabotage consistency
- Why small, realistic actions compound over time
- How to reconnect with the why behind your goals
- Three forms of accountability that actually work
If you're feeling behind, overwhelmed, or tempted to give up on the goals you set just weeks ago, this episode will help you reset without guilt and move forward with intention.

In this episode, I'm sharing my 2026 goals — and more importantly, how I plan to achieve them.
I'm walking you through the five goals I've set for the year, why I approached goal-setting differently this time, and how my 2026 word of the year — surrender — is shaping both my life and my business.
We'll talk about:
- Letting go of control and perfection in goal setting
- Why personal and business goals can't (and shouldn't) be separated
- What it looks like to focus on embodiment instead of constant tracking
- Creating consistent, meaningful impact through generosity
- And my core business goal for 2026: creating opportunities for women in real estate that wouldn't exist otherwise
I'm also breaking down the specific action steps behind each goal — because vision without a plan doesn't get you very far.
If you're heading into this year craving clarity, simplicity, and a way forward that actually feels sustainable, this episode is for you.

Real estate can feel like a 24/7 industry — and when you add multiple businesses, a team, family, sports schedules, and real life on top of it, it's no wonder so many women feel like they're constantly behind.
In this episode, I'm walking you through my exact time and task management system — the rhythms, routines, and tools I use to keep multiple businesses, a team, a podcast, a community, and family life running without burning out.
We'll talk about:
- Why having start and stop times (most days) actually makes you more productive.
- How I use boundaries and theme days to stay focused.
- The difference between time blocking and rhythms — and why rhythms work better for my real estate life.
- My weekly planning session + brain dump, how I use my paper planner alongside digital calendars, and why I subscribe to sports and event calendars instead of entering everything manually.
- How I manage daily tasks so my list is realistic, not a guilt trip — plus the "big project list" I keep visible when there's a lot happening.
If you've been craving more ease, structure, and peace in your days — without pretending real estate is a 9–5 — this behind-the-scenes episode will give you practical ideas you can start using right away.

Your 2026 Business Plan: The Only 3 Things You Actually Need to Focus On
Feeling like your business plan is a 47-tab spreadsheet and a whole lot of pressure? Let's simplify that.
In this episode, I'm breaking your 2026 business plan down to the only three things that truly matter in your real estate business:
- Your database – the "acres of diamonds" you already have but may not be fully nurturing.
- Your pillars – the 3–5 core sources of business that deserve your time, attention, and marketing dollars.
- Your Daily Business Builders™ – simple, sustainable prospecting habits you can actually stick with, even on your worst weeks.
If you've been feeling distracted by the noise, the shiny objects, and all the "do it my way" advice online, this episode will help you refocus on what really moves the needle.
Dial these three areas in, stay consistent, and your business at the end of 2026 will look very different from 2025 — in the best way.

A new year always brings fresh energy, possibility, and—if we're honest—a little fear. Especially in real estate, where every January 1st our numbers reset to zero and we feel like we're starting all over again. In this episode, Karen shares her 2026 Word of the Year … and why her original word choice just wasn't enough. Listen in as she talks about: • How choosing a Word of the Year has guided her life and business for over a decade • Why open felt safe—but not fully transformative • What surrender really means (and what it doesn't) • Releasing the illusion of control, timelines, and other people's expectations • Letting go of old ways of working, people-pleasing, and carrying everything for everyone • Journaling prompts to help you choose your own word for the year ahead If you've been feeling a nudge toward something deeper, different, or more aligned in this next season, this episode will give you language, courage, and a gentle push forward.

If you're listening on the day this episode airs… it's Christmas Eve.
And if you're anything like most women in real estate, you're moving through the day with a full heart and an even fuller to-do list.
In this short, heartfelt Christmas Eve episode, Karen shares gentle words of wisdom for the woman who is juggling clients, caring for family, holding emotions for everyone around her — and still trying to find a moment to breathe.
Inside, you'll hear:
Acknowledgment of the many roles you carry
Encouragement for the woman who feels like she fell short this year
Reassurance for the woman who had an incredible year (and is quietly scared about repeating it)
A grounding practice to bring you back to the present moment
A Christmas blessing to carry into tomorrow — and into the new year
This is your permission to pause, breathe, and remember:
You are enough.
You've done enough.
And you are worthy of joy, rest, and gentleness this season.
Merry Christmas, friends.

The end of the year can feel like a blur of client care, goal setting, school events, and holiday obligations—and as a woman in real estate, you're often the one holding it all together. In this episode, Karen shares practical ways to find calm in the year-end chaos so you can finish strong without burning yourself out in the process.
She'll walk you through choosing a few key non-negotiables, creating a simple end-of-year plan, protecting your energy before your calendar, and building in real rest—especially in the week between Christmas and New Year's. You'll also hear how consistent prospecting can give you the confidence to say no to poor-fit clients and yes to what matters most at home.
If you've been running from thing to thing with your hair on fire, this conversation will help you exhale, reset, and actually enjoy the season you've worked so hard to create.

What would I tell my younger self about building a real estate business that actually supports your life — not consumes it?
This episode was inspired by a recent Instagram post that received a huge response, because so many women in real estate feel the pressure to hustle, grind, and "push through" for far too many years before finally learning what truly creates long-term success.
Today I'm sharing the 10 lessons I wish I had known at 32, instead of learning them the hard way over 23 years in this business.
Inside the episode, you'll hear:
- Why hustling isn't a business strategy
- How consistency (not intensity) built the foundation of my career
- Why your database is your retirement plan
- The power of protecting your peace — and why it's non-negotiable
- How your business can evolve as your life evolves
- Why community matters more than you think
- The truth about brokerage alignment
- The shift from chasing numbers → designing a life
- Why systems matter more than willpower
- And why midlife isn't the end — it's the upgrade
Whether you're 32, 52, or anywhere in between, this episode will help you build a business that feels sustainable, meaningful, and true to who you are becoming.

After three years at Real Brokerage, I can finally see the compound effect in action.
In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on what this move has really meant for my business, my life, and our all-female Platinum Group Real Estate Team. From navigating a major brokerage transition with 30+ pending transactions and 30+ team members, to expanding into 19+ states, to building revenue share and new income streams that support our long-term goals—nothing about this has been surface level.
I'm sharing why we left a brokerage we loved, what drew us to a cloud-based model we originally said a hard "no" to, and how the Real platform has allowed us to grow nationally without me getting licensed in multiple states. You'll hear how we've created leadership and income opportunities for our team, how revenue share has brought in over $150,000 this year, and how access to top agents nationwide has elevated the way we serve clients.
If you've ever wondered what a move like this actually looks like behind the scenes—or you're feeling that nudge that you might need a change—this one's for you.
In this episode, I talk about:
- Why we knew we'd hit a ceiling at our previous brokerage
- How we expanded into 19+ states without new licenses
- The impact of revenue share and stock awards on my family and team
- The unexpected emotional journey of changing brokerages
- What I wish I'd done sooner—and advice if you're considering a move

In this heartfelt annual gratitude episode, Karen reflects on what has been a transformative year—after several that were incredibly hard.
She opens up about the seasons of loss, burnout, and rebuilding that defined her 40s, and how this year, through faith, boundaries, and slowing down, she finally found herself again. From choosing Worthy as her word of the year to embracing joy, morning rituals, and authenticity, Karen shares how gratitude became the anchor that helped her rediscover peace, purpose, and happiness in both life and business.
If you've ever walked through a season of struggle and wondered when you'll feel like you again, this episode will remind you that healing, joy, and gratitude are always within reach.

In this week's episode, Karen shares her presentation from the 5th Annual Empowering Women in Real Estate® Conference, titled The Intangibles.
While most training in real estate focuses on the tangible — contracts, marketing, scripts, negotiations — the truth is that what often separates good agents from great ones are the intangibles.
In this episode, Karen reveals the 10 subtle, often-overlooked qualities that define top-producing agents. These are the habits, perspectives, and small-but-powerful actions that can completely transform your business.
If you've ever wondered what truly makes the difference between agents who simply survive and those who thrive, this episode will show you exactly that.

Drowning in emails? In this episode, Karen walks through the exact email management system she uses to keep multiple inboxes under control—while running businesses, leading a team, raising kids and supporting a 40k+ community.
You'll learn how to:
- Combine accounts into one working inbox (and when to use a separate "bills-only" address).
- Use color-coded flags tied to themed days (sales, team, EWRE, personal) so nothing gets lost.
- Decide fast: delete, do, delegate, or defer—and what "Inbox Zero-ish" really looks like.
- Unsubscribe ruthlessly, block repeat spammers, and stop obsessive checking.
- Handle time off with a "To Do After Vacation" folder so you return to sanity, not chaos.
A simple, sustainable system to reclaim time—and your peace.

Prospecting and nurture bring business in. Follow-up keeps it.

You'll learn:
- Two ways to schedule weekly updates (single-day batch vs. rolling client day)
- Exactly what to include in seller and buyer updates (active + under contract)
- How to set expectations at the consult and stick to them
- Why proactive five-minute updates save hours later

In this episode of the Systems Series, I’m breaking down how to create a simple, sustainable nurture system that ensures you stay top of mind with clients, your sphere, and your referral network.
I’ll share my real-life approach to monthly, quarterly, and annual nurture activities—including email newsletters, postcards, pop-bys, and client appreciation drawings—and how they all work together to generate consistent business.
If you’ve ever overcomplicated your systems (like I have!) or struggled to keep up, this episode will show you how to simplify, automate, and create a nurture system that actually works.

Prospecting. It’s the system most real estate agents love to hate — but it’s also the one your business can’t survive without.
In this first episode of my Systems Series, I’m breaking down what prospecting really looks like today, why it doesn’t have to mean cold calls and door knocking, and how to create a system that works for YOU.
I’ll share my own “Daily Business Builders” — the prospecting system that has helped me consistently generate business for more than 20 years. These small, repeatable actions have kept my pipeline full through every season of my career.
If you’ve ever struggled with consistency in your lead generation, this episode will change the way you think about prospecting.

A business that comes to you might sound too good to be true … but it’s not. For 23 years, I’ve built my real estate career on referrals—not cold calls, not door knocking, not chasing leads. And the best part? It’s sustainable, consistent, and actually joyful.
In this episode, I’m breaking down how a referral-first mindset really works, why it’s not “passive” at all, and the systems I use to keep the referrals flowing year after year.

Why would a seasoned solo agent with decades of experience choose to join a team?
In this episode, I’m sharing a replay from my friend (and now Founding Agent Partner on our team in Florida!) Michele Bellisari. Michele opens up about the real reasons she made the move—not for leads, not because she didn’t know how to generate business—but for strategy, sustainability, and long-term opportunity.
This conversation is eye-opening, especially if you’ve ever wondered whether joining a team could actually benefit an experienced agent.

We all want things to be perfect — our systems, our client experiences, our businesses. But the truth is, perfection isn’t possible … and it’s not even the goal. The real key to long-term success in real estate (and in life) is continuous improvement.
In today’s episode, I share the story behind this reminder, how a simple comment shifted my mindset, and why embracing small tweaks over time is the true superpower that will sustain your business for years to come.
Listen in for practical ways to approach challenges with curiosity instead of frustration — and why the more you grow, the more important this mindset becomes.

In today’s episode, I’m sharing something I’ve never done before: a live, five-week coaching experience built exclusively for women in midlife real estate. It’s called The Midlife Real Estate Blueprint™, and this is the guide I wish I had six years ago when I knew I wanted to evolve my business—but didn’t know how.

- You’re in your mid 40s, 50s, 60s or beyond.
- You’ve consistently sold $7M+ per year and want a new way forward.
- You want to stay in the industry you love—but stop serving every client personally.

In this deeply personal episode, I’m sharing two powerful lessons that hit me recently—both rooted in how we show up as leaders in our lives and businesses. Whether you realize it or not, you are a leader—of your clients, your family, and your business. But are you leading yourself first?
I’m opening up about what it really means to lead yourself (hint: it’s not about spa days), and why rescuing others may be holding you back more than you think. I’m also sharing a story about learning to let go—of control, of guilt, and of the belief that just because you can do something means you should.

What’s the difference between a pipeline that dries up and one that keeps producing? One word: follow-up.
In this episode, I’m diving deep into the art (and science) of follow-up in your real estate business. Whether your lead timeline is five days or five months, staying top of mind is how you build trust—and close deals.
I’ll walk you through:
- The mindset shift that changes follow-up from “annoying” to “serving”
- Why 80% of sales happen after 5+ follow-ups (but most agents stop after one!)
- A simple weekly update system you can use with current clients
- My favorite real-life follow-up scripts to reconnect with leads
- How to nurture long-term prospects and stay in their orbit until they’re ready
Plus, I’m sharing the exact structure I used during my sales career to consistently follow up with listings, buyers, and even long-term nurtures—without dropping the ball.
If you’ve ever struggled with what to say, how often to reach out, or feared “bothering” someone, this episode will help you reframe, refocus, and re-engage.

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.

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.

One of the most frequent questions I get is about my Daily Business Builders™ . My kinder, gentler form of prospecting. Why? Because we tend to overthink prospecting. How hard it should be. How long we should do it for. What it actually is. Also, because prospecting is critical to our real estate businesses. No prospecting, no business. It’s as simple as that. On today’s episode of Empowering Women in Real Estate® - The Podcast, I’m sharing all the details about my Daily Business Builders™ and how you can put them to work in your business.

When is the last time that you checked in with your goals? Remember those? Those things you set with excitement way back in January, or even at the end of last year. One of the best things I have ever done for my life and my business was to do consistent reviews each quarter. Reviewing my life, my business, my goals, my progress. On today’s episode of Empowering Women in Real Estate® - The Podcast, I’m talking through my 3rd Quarter Review process. There are some questions I really want you to ask yourself about your life and your business, and I hope you will listen. Fourth quarter is just starting. 3 months is a LONG TIME. You can make a lot happen. Even if you aren’t on track for those goals you set … or maybe the just don’t resonate with you anymore, there are things you can do right now to get momentum happening before the end of the year.

Chances are you have worn a lot of hats over the years and had a lot of different jobs before you came to real estate … and I’d be willing to bet that there is a lot of experience there that helped to prepare you for your current career. In today’s episode of Empowering Women in Real Estate® - The Podcast, I’m sharing some of the things that make up my resume, and how they have supported my role in real estate. I’ve been a Project Manager for Clinical Trials, a Bank Teller, and EMT-Shock Trauma Technician, even worked at a daycare center. It was fun to look back and talk through each of those roles and experiences in this episode. Thank you to Inner Circle Member Kris Norwine for the suggestion!

At the beginning of my career, I couldn’t learn enough. Then around maybe year 2-3, I found myself feeling too busy to get better. I could write a killer contract, won the majority of the listing appointments I went on and was closing 40-50 transactions per year … so what else could I possibly need to know? See I thought training meant basics that I already knew. I also thought I didn’t have time to learn anything new. How wrong I was. It was only when I was introduced to higher quality, higher value training (initially through Brian Buffini’s courses!) that my eyes were opened … and my business too off for the better. On today’s episode of Empowering Women in Real Estate® - The Podcast I’ll be sharing my favorite ways to learn (it doesn’t mean just sitting in a classroom or traveling to an event!) as well the tactical ways I find time to learn every single day. What is your favorite way to learn?

Like it or not, our real estate industry has changed.
This isn’t new though, it is always changing.
So is your life. With each phase and season and stage our needs tend to change … and the good news is that our real estate businesses can evolve with us.

There is such a push and so much pressure in our industry for numbers … Achieving a certain amount of sales, calling a certain number of people, closing a certain number of deals each year. Yes, all of these metrics are important, but what I think many of us forget is that this is a people business. We are serving other people, other human beings with a significant moment in their lives. My guest for today’s episode of Empowering Women in Real Estate® - The Podcast recognizes that perhaps more than anyone I know, and as a result has built a real estate business that meets all those metrics, and then some. As a brand new real estate agent Aaron Nichols closed $10M in sales volume in his first 10 months … not only a feat that is a challenge for most seasoned agents, but practically unheard of for a newbie. Listen in to our conversation as he shares his intentional efforts to serve and grow.

How has your last week been? Think about the feelings you’ve had, the frustrations in your business. Picture what your bank account looks like.
Do you want to repeat this week again next week? Next month? How about 5 years from now?
Chances are, the answer is that you don’t, but if you aren’t taking steps now for 2029 you, that is exactly what you will be doing … only you will be doing it while you are 5 years older, 5 years tireder, 5 years sadder.
On today’s episode of Empowering Women in Real Estate® - The Podcast I’m talking about the power of compound interest, a lesson I learned my very first year in college a very, very long time ago.

Picture this … it’s a Tuesday afternoon. You’ve spent all weekend showing homes to buyers and sitting at open houses, and most of your evenings this week are full of showings or listing appointments.
So you take a couple hours to go get your hair done, or to run personal errands, or just to sit by the pool … and you feel guilty about it.
Does that resonate with you? It always has for me and for many women that I talk to.
On today’s episode of Empowering Women in Real Estate® - The Podcast I’m talking about so many of the areas where we feel guilty in our business (including what I personally have felt guilty about), why that is and what we can do about it.

Have you ever been on vacation and dreamed of what it would be like to own a home there? Or maybe live there year round? Or maybe even sell real estate there? My guest on todays episode of Empowering Women in Real Estate® - The Podcast has done all three! In this episode I am interviewing Sonja Bush, a real estate broker in Mammoth Lakes, California. The overwhelming majority of the business they do there is primarily servicing second home buyers (who then sometimes become sellers), and she has some outstanding insights for anyone who serves a second home market too. I love how much of her advice is pertinent for any agents who work with investors as well. You can tune in to today’s episode on your favorite podcast app, or by clicking the link below.

It’s been over a year and a half since I made the move with my real estate team to Real, and I can honestly say it was the best move we’ve ever made. It’s been quite a while since I’ve done an update episode for you, and on today’s episode of Empowering Women in Real Estate® - The Podcast I’m breaking down two primary things …
1) Real, by the numbers. Specifically, our numbers. Like actual numbers with dollar signs attached, shared.
2) Real from a Team Leader's perspective. If you are a team leader feeling the weight more than usual these days, this is going to be a must listen.

For the entirety of my career I’ve spent a significant part of my time teaching, training and mentoring agents. Sometimes for pay, a lot of the time for free.
I’ve never believed in holding your best ideas close to the vest. Sharing and giving them freely is where it’s at. For me, anyway.
This month we are celebrating two things … my birthday and the 5th anniversary of our Empowering Women in Real Estate® Inner Circle program, and so I’m giving opportunities all month long to “steal my strategy” for free. For years I did a coffee giveaway on my birthday, but this year I thought we would do something different.
Every day this month I am giving away something … conference replays, postcard templates, pop by tags, full digital courses. Basically all the things.
Only it’s not all the things. It’s just a taste of all that is available in our Inner Circle, which you can join with special birthday pricing too.

I am OBSESSED with efficiency.
There just never seems to be enough time in my day for the things I need to do and for the things I want to do.
It’s not just my day … it’s life too. It moves fast. Too fast. I don’t want to waste it doing things that are unimportant or on the mundane minutia … that stuff that has to happen, but isn’t necessarily where we want to be spending our time.
On today’s episode of Empowering Women in Real Estate® - The Podcast I’m sharing several areas of my business where I am using systems and automation to streamline and save time … and not just time, money too.

Last year I turned 50, and while I’m not planning to retire anytime soon, with the pages turning on the calendar a little more rapidly these days it is certainly a little more top of mind.
On today’s episode of Empowering Women in Real Estate® - The Podcast I’m talking all about How to Retire in Real Estate. In my 22 years in the industry I’ve known a few agents who’ve been able to do it pretty well, and many more who really didn’t. Making an exit while continuing to have income coming in certainly can be a challenge. Today, I’m talking through a few of the options.
Whether retirement is a glimmer in your eye yet or not, I think this is an important episode for us all. No matter your timeframe, the success of your retirement is going to depend on little things you do now.

For the past almost 9 years now I have been a real estate team leader. Way back in the beginning of my career 22 years ago I was on a traditional real estate team … and those two experiences and types of teams could not be more different.
I think there is a common misconception in our industry about real estate teams … how they operate, what the splits should be (you know the book on this subject), who they are for.
I’m here to tell you that now, in 2024, they are many different types of real estate teams, structures, splits (from high to low) and everything in between.
On today’s episode of Empowering Women in Real Estate® - The Podcast I’m sharing with you the different types of teams … and maybe even why no matter who you are, how long you’ve been in business, or what you produce, there may be one that is right for you.

Picture this … you go to sit down and write out the birthday cards for the month for your clients.
Then you can’t find any stamps.
And you are out of coffee gift cards.
So you run out to the store to pick up the supplies.
While you’re out you might as well pick up your dry cleaning and pick up something for dinner.
By the time you get back 2+ hours have passed and you sit down again, only to realize you forgot the stamps.
Sound familiar?
There are a zillion of these small inconveniences that happen in our lives and our businesses that derail us, but the truth is the solutions are typically quick, simple and inexpensive.

Fall, holiday time and winter are some of the most popular times to hold events (at least they have been in my world), and so for today’s episode of Empowering Women in Real Estate® - The Podcast I’m sharing some of my client event best practices.
Over the years we’ve easily held and hosted 40-50 client events … during some years doing 5 events for clients PER YEAR, some of those events in two locations each, plus another 5+ good sized events for our team as well. We’ve learned a lot of things, and I’m sharing them today.

If you were to put a post on social media today … even right in this group (we see them all the time) … about which brokerage is the best, you’ll practically have a fight on your hands.
Okay, maybe that’s a little dramatic, but I find that everyone has strong opinions.
AND they have almost MORE strong opinions about why another brokerage is BAD vs why theirs is good.
Sometimes that boils down to mis-conceptions. I get it. I’ve done this too.
On today’s episode of Empowering Women in Real Estate® - The Podcast I’m sharing cloud brokerage mis-conceptions. Things that I was sure I knew (or had heard enough people say enough times that I thought were true), that once I got curious and asked a few questions realized weren’t the case at all.

On today’s episode I am doing a deep dive … and the longest episode to date … on exactly how my team works. The history, the ins the outs, all the tea. Spilled, just for you. ;-)

Keysha
Washington and Melissa
Case.

to real estate as their only career.

Is this not the hardest thing … keeping a commitment to yourself?
We are so much more likely to keep the ones to make to others, but when it comes to us, meh. Not so much. Tell me I’m not the only one.

It is a lot of things, but I will tell you what it is not … it is not reserved just for those with a team or support personnel. EVERYONE is a leader.

You know I love Fall! It is my favorite season … and not just for all the pumpkin-y things (although I love that too).
There is just something about a fresh new season that inspires me to change things up and offers a boost of energy to my life and business that is second to none. Fall does that for me even more so than January 1.
On today’s episode of Empowering Women in Real Estate - The Podcast, I’m sharing with you “A Fresh Approach for Fall”. Let’s get re-energized in our businesses and form some great habits. A good companion episode to this one that I mention during the episode is Episode 27, “Using Contests to Inject Fun in Your Business.”

I don’t know everything, but I do know this … that is NOT true!

Summer is here and the living is easy!
Well, maybe sometimes a little too easy. Have you ever experienced a summer slump? Or, more likely, a fall slump resulting from a little too much summer fun?
I say there is no such thing as too much summer fun AND you can keep your business humming along at the same time.
Enter … Super Summer Bootcamp! If you’ve ever done this program with me before, this year’s edition is much, much different.
If I had to tell you 1 thing that has revolutionized my business it is my Daily Business Builders. My daily habits for “prospecting” and staying in touch that I can adjust based on my phase of life and business.
For this year’s Super Summer Bootcamp I will be walking you through each of the 5 components, with a challenge for each one. My hope is that you will see just how doable these habits are and will make them a regular part of your business. Even if you just complete this challenge one time, I hope that it will give you an infusion of energy and activity into your business this summer!

Who doesn’t want to have it “all”, right?
But here’s the thing, YOU get to define what having it all means to YOU. I think we too often get trapped in comparing what it means for others (or what we perceive it means), and that can lead to a whole lot of disappointment.
I’m sharing lots of info on this, including what having it all currently means for me, on today’s episode of Empowering Women in Real Estate - The Podcast. Tune in on your favorite podcast app, or by clicking the link below.

When you hear the term “coaching”, what comes to mind?
For many of us it means a person or program that you pay to “coach” you up in an area of your life or business.

Listen in to today’s episode to hear about my favorite ways that I have been coached throughout my 20 year career … and the majority of which barely cost a dime.

One of the things that is so great about our real estate businesses is that there is literally no ceiling. How much you earn is directly related to the investment that you are willing to make in your business in time, effort and money. The not so great thing though is that there is no floor. No work, no pay. Sometimes (lots of times) even there is lots of work and still no pay. I see plenty of conversations about the potential of our business and what people are earning, and a fair share of how to pinch pennies and save on the various aspects of doing business, but what I don’t usually see is a tactical conversation of how to handle your finances and your business … everything about the day to day to handling your taxes.

Happy New Year! If you are anything like me, you are excited for this fresh start and the hope that a new year brings. You may also have some big goals set and you are spending time revamping your routines to fit in these new habits.
You might also be feeling a little bit of pressure … this past year or two has been a lot, hasn’t it? And if you are feeling overwhelmed or worn out (like I am) then instead of feeling excitement over your goals, you might be feeling a little bit of dread too.
On today’s episode of Empowering Women in Real Estate - The Podcast, I’m talking all about Goals, Goals, Goals … including sharing a bit about my personal goal setting process and goals for the new year.

I love the fresh, clean start of a new year. I want to hit the ground running and leave the old year behind. In order to do that, there are some things I need to do in my business toward the end of December.
I organize folders on my computer for everything in my business.
I de-clutter my desk and office.
I order any office supplies I know I’ll need like paper, ink, gift cards, note cards, return address labels, etc.
I buy a calendar for the upcoming year.
And, I map out my social media plan.
I hope these tips help you feel ready for the new year!

Every year I create a vision board. Honestly, it’s been so rewarding to see my life more toward the goals I set, and it’s a fantastic way to get inspired. I keep it really simple. I set up a private board on Pinterest. I use an app called Project Life and I browse and pin all of the images that really resonate with me. I always include a photo of my family and my word for the year.

Today I’m walking you through developing your marketing plan and I’m keeping it simple. It comes down to this: we’re going to plan when you are going to stay in touch and how you are going to stay in touch.
Let’s look at the whole year in advance and ask these 3 questions:
- Who is the audience you want to keep in touch with? Think of your database, maybe it’s your geographic farm, maybe it’s other agents.
- How often?
- What are the methods? And, it has to be a mix. Whenever I talk to new clients I ask, “How did you hear about me?” And, I love it when they say, “We see your name everywhere.”
You can still evaluate every quarter, but you’ll be so much more prepared for the year if you make a plan.
By the way, you can join the Empowering Women in Real Estate inner circle if you want someone to just plan all of this for you. Whether you are hearing this before or after Dec. 16th when the 2022 plan is debuted, I am here for you!

As REALTORS® our full time jobs are helping other people to relocate, but what happens when we are the ones doing the relocating?

What does leveling up mean to you?
I’ve come to learn that leveling up in our industry is very different than a “typical” definitely of leveling up when you are working in the traditional corporate sector that so many of us came from.
On today’s episode of Empowering Women in Real Estate - The Podcast, I’m sharing a conversation I had with a team member on this topic and some thoughts about how you too can redefine what leveling up means to you.

Are you in a season of struggle?
Me too, sister. Me too.
Today’s episode of Empowering Women in Real Estate - The Podcast is for you. And me.
I’ve often said that real estate (entrepreneurship, really) is a lifestyle, not a job. It’s not something that you can just turn on and off, clock in and out.
And so, when you are struggling in any area of your life, your business will be impacted, and vice versa. The quicker we acknowledge that, the better. It’s one of the reasons I’ve always shared openly here personal struggles and challenges. Identifying ways to cope and solve those issues can be just as important as identifying new ways to market and prospect. It’s all interconnected.

On today’s episode of Empowering Women in Real Estate - The Podcast I’m going to be sharing with you several stories from throughout my career where I have really benefited from having someone give me permission to start or stop something.
Obviously, I really don’t need anyone’s permission, and neither do you, but we tend to put so much pressure on ourselves with what we do or we tend to overthink and feel like we’re under qualified, that sometimes having someone else say just those few words … that they give you permission … can make all the difference.

We have a very interesting conversation that we're really excited to bring to you today. We're sharing Karen's guest appearance on Rob Houghton's podcast WDC Metro Insurance Careers.
Rob is a top recruiter for insurance positions in the DC area. He invited Karen on his podcast to ask her perspective on office dynamics among women, especially in leadership roles.
It is pretty refreshing to be able to hear such a frank discussion about women in sales, office politics and the best ways to have great working relationships.
We would love to hear your feedback on this topic. Please share your experiences with us in our Empowering Women in Real Estate group on Facebook.

Here's your chance to ask Karen anything! Today she's answering the first round of questions, and this week you still have the chance to submit more questions in the Empowering Women in Real Estate Facebook Group for Karen to answer in "Ask Me Anything - Part 2."
Most of us want to know when we'll stop feeling like beginners and feel like legitimate real estate agents. When will we start to feel like we can say we are successful? It would be nice to have a time frame for our progress. Karen answers how long it took for her to start to feel like she could say she was successful, what that means and how to get there more quickly.
Karen also answers questions about balancing being a full-time real estate agent with being a wife and mother. She says that real estate is one of the most flexible jobs and one of the least flexible jobs at the same time.
She encourages us to set up a few systems and patterns so that we protect the most important aspects of each role from being encroached on by the other roles. For example, one of her rules was that she wouldn't missed 2 dinnertime/bedtimes in a row. Another rule was that if she was at one of her son's games and she had to look at a contract on the stands, that was OK!
In answer to questions about getting the hang of things starting out Karen recommends going into the office everyday. Now, this might not currently be an option for us during the pandemic, but wherever possible, be around others who are doing the work.
Another great question was about how to do your budgeting when you were starting out. Listen in to hear what matters most at the beginning and throughout your career when it comes to budgeting. Hint: it's not fancy shoes.

Here's a topic Karen gets asked about quite a bit: building confidence in your role as a real estate agent. And, it's not just brand new agents who want to know how to present themselves as knowledgeable. At every stage of her career Karen has put in to practice certain tools to appear confident and actually feel confident helping people buy and sell homes.
Let's go straight to the sources of confidence: knowledge and repetition.
Karen's first tip is to memorize some good, current stats so you know how to answer when people ask you "How's the market?" Instead of saying, "It's good," you can say, "It's really strong. The average days-on-market is 7 and at this time last year it was 33." This is a very confidence-inspiring way to talk with people and it gives the conversation somewhere to go!
Next, get familiar with the tasks you do. It will just take time and experience but if you can practice filling out paperwork, for example, and have a mentor look it over, you'll be much more comfortable doing it for real. And actually, being able to explain what everything in the paperwork means is a very important part of being an agent. Your clients will feel secure if you can help educate them.
In the same vein, preview the properties when you can so that you can have another go-to answer when people ask you about the market and so that you feel ready to show these properties.
If talking to people isn't your strongest trait, honestly, here's a super easy trick: wear a name tag. This way even if you're not feeling confident enough to initiate conversations, you're making it easy, people know you are in real estate and they can feel a little more comfortable approaching you. A name tag is basically a professional invitation to talk about work.
Karen's final tip for building confidence today is to work with renters. It's not the most glamorous work we can do, but it is so helpful as we are learning.
You want to stay fresh, on top of your game and confident throughout your career. These will be things you can keep up your sleeve all the time.

Written reviews can really boost your "know, like, trust factor." When a potential client checks out your name online you want them to see social proof of how wonderful it is to work with you.
Karen recommends inviting clients to leave reviews right after the transaction and again in 2 months, as needed. It's a small ask and you have so much to gain in just a few sentences from a happy buyer or seller.
In addition to these reviews being online on Google or Facebook, you can re-use them on your website and social media. Listen in for a timely update on the status of any reviews you may have on Zillow!
Yes, it is amazing to get good reviews, so make sure to return the favor this week and leave positive reviews for the people you work with!

Today's topic is so fascinating and we're a little riled up about it. Think about the advice you've been given or the things you've been told about your business. If some of them were less-than-helpful or self-serving or discouraging, then let's take a moment to stop and flesh them out. We can still learn from them because we can turn them upside down and move ahead with new understanding.

As real estate agents and/or as moms we have a lot on our plate. Each day, each hour, we accomplish a lot. And yes, we like it. We love getting things done and helping the people in our lives, but we HAVE to be smart with our time, too.
Karen is sharing dozens of timesaving tips today to help you carve out precious minutes here and there. This extra time will save you! It will save you from decision fatigue, unneeded stress, little mistakes and sleep deprivation.
These changes don't require a super-strong tech background or a lot of money. They're just smart and simple.
On the technology front you can use timers and alarms to manage your to-dos and appointments so that you don't have to check the clock every 5 minutes. You can just focus on your task until you hear the beep. This is a great trick to teach your children as well.
You can also utilize keyboard shortcuts to help you populate the texts and phrases you frequently write.
Obviously, using a Alexa can be a real help. If you're hesitating because you're reluctant to bring one more device into your life, it might be worth consideration because you can keep better tabs on your kids this way. Listen in to learn how! And, Alexa can also read aloud to you which can really help you reach your reading goals.
For appointment setting Karen recommends making the next appointment at the end of the current appointment. It saves you a step and a phone call.
In general, whether with meal prep or picking your outfit for the day, it can be super helpful to plan one week at a time. Decision making in bulk preserves your brainpower for important choices in your business that only you can make.
And lastly, why do we have to be reminded to set aside the time to take care of ourselves? What a mystery. We just always seem to put us at the bottom of our list. Decide to make the time to do something nice for yourself every single day. Karen has learned over the years to be an early riser and she loves what it does for her outlook and her energy throughout the day. She gets the time to read her devotional and sip her morning drink in peace. Whenever in the day it makes sense for you to squeeze this in - do it.

Pivot!
You get it.
This year has thrown us some curve balls and we've all had to demonstrate flexibility.
We've had to do:
Gifts instead of events
Open houses by appointment only
Zoom meetings
Surely you've made some of the same adjustments. The thing to keep in mind during challenging times is to double down. Karen follows Grant Cardone's 10x Rule. If you pull back you're business will disappear so re-commit to your marketing.
Amid all of the challenges, focus on the benefits. And, the beauty in all of this adapting is that some of these changes will stick around because they are actually better.

There is room for every good, hard-working agent in the real estate industry. That's what we love about it! There are plenty of transactions to go around; you just have to get your name out there.
Karen encourages the use of free social media and other low-cost options like postcards, flyers and brochures.
Postcards
Here's the thing: yes, they'll probably throw the postcard away, but at least they'll see your name and face, if however briefly, to remind them of you. Karen uses My Marketing Matters for her postcards.
Flyers and Brochures
For any listing or open house, the first batch of flyers you go through will be snatched up by the neighbors. And that is totally fine with us! They are seeing your beautiful work and seeing your name.
Other creative ideas are to do joint offers and promotions with vendors and to keep working the rental market. Working with renters essentially means getting paid to practice your craft.
In real estate, honestly, it’s more cost effective to be all in. So as you work toward meeting your transaction goals, just know that your cost-per-use is going to get better.

Imagine if you spent 1 hour per day prospecting. How would that affect your business in 2021?
This is the mindset Karen wants us to adopt as we do our third quarter review. What can we improve in fourth quarter that would really pay off next year?
It takes repeated work over time. There's really nothing in our business that we just do one time so let's keep at it!

Karen's back with another inside peak into how she manages her business. Today in episode 44 she's tackling the topic of weekly planning.
Karen uses the Emily Ley Teacher Planner. Karen loves it because it shows the whole week at-a-glance and each day has 6 sections.
Have an ACTUAL plan for how and when you utilize social media. As much as we complain about how social media is too time consuming, mindless or complicated, it is a huge part of how we function in real estate. Schedule out your posts and set aside time to be social on social!
We really don't like the feeling of scrambling and feeling behind, so let's take charge. In at least one area at a time, begin to plan your week for success!

At some point in your business you are going to want to bring in support staff to help you do the tasks that you can delegate. Karen's teaching us today how to scale your business.
First you'll want to write a list of all of the things that you do over the course of several days. Take a look at which of these things have to be done by you. The other things on that list, that have to do with your business or your home life can be hired out. We know it may be a little scary, but start with hiring a runner by the hour and realize that this will help you have more time for prospecting!

Welcome! You're tuned in to Empowering Women in Real Estate, The Podcast, Episode 39 and we're so happy to have you here!
Our title makes a pretty outlandish claim: that Karen shares the secrets to her success and we won't disappoint you. The secrets may not surprise you, but they work!
Unfortunately, there's no magic button you can hit to achieve business. There's no subscription you can buy, but the great leveler of all things is hard work. Karen's been building her business for 18 years; that's long enough to see ups, downs and steady growth.
Karen says above all else to prioritize marketing. That's an important budget item to keep things rolling. Listen in to hear what she recommends most.
Remember engagement. Real estate is a lifestyle. You're always working so stay genuinely engaged in whatever you're doing.
Lastly, to deliver the best service to your clients you've got to be careful with time-sensitive tasks. Urgent matters that need to be done right now, that could cost your clients the deal if they're not done by EOD, make sure you get those done! That's how to be excellent.

Welcome to the podcast! We are so glad you're joining us for our back to school pep talk. We're facing logistical challenges with school starting back up again, to say the least. Whether you are a parent or your clients are parents, everyone is crunched for time and screen time.
Let's talk about how to adjust your schedule to accommodate education and this fall season, while still maintaining your professional appointment systems.
And, as a special bonus Karen is giving us tips on how to "take back the morning!"

Welcome to Empowering Women in Real Estate! Karen is back with another backyard addition of the podcast, this time to talk about making real estate fun!
Karen loves to use contests in her business and she has 2 main ways she does this:
-
Client contests. Having a contest with clients like a pumpkin carving contest, for example, is a really fun way to get people excited. People like winning things and so it gives you an extra opportunity to interact them. And, the bonus is that it gives clients the chance to share their entry or their prize on social media!
-
Team Incentives. Actually, whether or not you work on a team you can incorporate incentives into your business. You can set a challenge for you and your teammates or for you and your colleagues and either way this ends up being lots of fun! Gear the incentives toward specific actions or create a point system for things like: meeting up with clients, delivering pop-bys, adding listings, etc. Then give prizes for certain point levels. This way there isn't just one winner; everyone can win!
By the way, tracking for the contest has other benefits. This kind of tracking shows you how well you are doing your job and how good your stats really are. Turn things into a game and life gets better!

The level of success that you're going to have in the listing appointment depends on how prepared you are, your ability to connect quickly and inspire confidence. Thanks for tuning into Episode 36 of Empowering Women in Real Estate, The Podcast today where Karen Cooper is sharing her entire playbook on listing appointments!
When you are on that first phone call to schedule the listing appointment you need to ask a few key questions. Here's what they are:
-
How did you find me?
-
Tell me about your situation? (This allows you to assess their motivation.)
-
What is your expectation of value?
-
Confirm what you see on the tax record regarding bedrooms, bathrooms, fencing, etc.
-
(Don't directly ask if they are interviewing other agents.) Instead ask, "After our appointment on ... Wednesday, are you going to be ready to make a decision?" or "What does your decision timeline look like?" If they tell you that they are going to be interviewing other agents, then respond positively and boldly. (Karen's got a great way of using this potentially awkward conversation to confirm your expertise!)
When you arrive for the listing appointment bring a small gift. A pie or a plant is fantastic, just never show up empty handed.
Listen in for exactly what Karen says during each stage of the listing appointment. She recommends leading the appointment and following this sequence: tour, presentation, comps, and paperwork. It's the best way to build connections with the homeowners and demonstrate how professionally you work.
Lastly, make sure you know your worth. Know the commission rate you want and ask for it!
This episode is chock-full of wisdom. Psst! Especially listen for tips about what to do right after the listing appointment and how to be professional when you know you're being compared to other agents.

Learn how being the go-to person for everything related to homeownership can improve your business!
Be the connector between vendors and their customers. Share the name of the painter, the stager, the photographer, etc! If you can establish a reputation of someone who knows the best referral for any need three main things will happen:
-
Buyers and sellers alike will think of you first when it comes to their home's needs.
-
You'll lock in better service and loyalty with your vendors.
-
You'll widen your network - big time.
Though you'll always try to refer the best quality work, if a referral ever goes south make sure to step in and help resolve the situation.

Thanks for joining us today to learn how to strategically fresh your database!
As far as databases go, Karen uses the Referral Maker CRM by Brian Buffini, but there are so many ways to organize your client data. You can even just use Excel or the contacts feature on your phone.
Feel free to refer back to our episodes 6 and 9 here to learn more about how to build your database:
https://empoweringwomeninrealestate.libsyn.com/size/5/?search=database
As you begin your database refresh you might want to find a way to print it out and work on paper.
Start with the A+ names and go from there. Make any revisions based on how many referrals are coming in and how engaged they have been in social media.
Of course, update missing and outdated information. Take the time to gather e-mails, addresses, phone numbers, etc.
Next, spot-check the silent accounts. See if you can find out whether these contacts have made any transactions with other agents lately and maybe even reach out to let them know you're happy for them and you're interesting in knowing how you can improve. Often the reason they used a different agent on their recent transaction is because a family member became licensed. There's no need to feel bad about that. Karen reassures us that she knows this can be a hard step but not to do any mass deletes.
As you're working on your database refresh, keep a list on the side of things that pop into your head. As you review these names of your wonderful contacts, you'll be reminded of nice things you can congratulate them for or thank them for.
This process takes Karen about 2-4 hours and she does it at least twice a year. Go ahead and dive into your refreshing your database, too!

We're half way through 2020! Can you believe it? Seriously, good job for hanging in there. And, thanks for tuning in today. We're going to . . . attempt a mid year review.
It's important to check in and see if we are on track toward meeting our goals. In this very difficult year we've had, we may need to course-correct in order to meet our goals or adjust our goals all together. Let's dive in.
First, look at the data. What are your lead sources? What is your conversion rate?
Second, reflect on what worked and what didn't work in your business.
Third, reflect on your very best transaction and then your worst transaction? Can you crack the code on what worked so well and what did not? Can you identify red flags with certain clients that you can avoid moving forward?
Karen walks us through how to adjust for the huge upsets of this year and she reminds us that Empower Coaching is free until September 1st. Join in and benefit from this great support!

Listen in to learn how to pull off awesome events for your client care program, even amid social distancing limitations.
Platinum Group does client events throughout the year. They range in size from reverse pop-bys for a Thanksgiving pie to a full-on hotel breakfast with Santa.
Don't be intimidated by logistics because Karen is going to show you how you can host fun, crowd-pleasing events that help build great relationships with your clients!
Once you know your budget you can pick your event. Great ideas include renting out movie theaters, happy hours and vendor meet-and-greets. Be creative!
Send the invitations to your A-list clients first and then when you get your RSVPs back you'll know how many more of your clients you can also invite.
Take care to plan for staffing so that the event runs smoothly. Teenagers provide excellent help in these roles! Also, make sure to cover your event. Photographs and video clips will make for great social media content and they'll also serve the purpose of enriching the event in real-time!
After the event sit down with your team to have a little debriefing session. Go over what went well and what you can change for next year. Karen encourages you to have fun with your client events and they'll pay off!

We're comin' at you with a short and sweet episode today to help you kick off your SUMMER!
First of all, even with business slowing down a bit right now, we need to keep our efforts going or you know it will take years to catch up. So, we're staying in the game! And if you need any help right now please join Empower Coaching. Karen has made it totally free so that no one misses out, since we all need support more than ever. Details below!
OK let's talk about how to make time for fun this summer. Whether it's golf with friends, an actual family vacation or just some quality time alone in nature, think of what you'll enjoy and schedule it in now.
Logistically making it work:
Karen likes to start working a little bit earlier in the morning so she is freed up to spend some time outside in the afternoon to hang out with her kids.
Is there someone you can rotate with so you can have a block of time "off" each week to do fun summer things?
Reevaluate your schedule every season. Things shift as families grow and other life changes evolve.
Time blocking as a time management strategy isn't the best fit for real estate because we have to be so flexible. We just have to be OK with a very fluid schedule!

If you are like me, you're forever trying to find the "easy button" for lead generation. We just want something we can buy or some service to subscribe to that will bring in business. The truth is there's just a finesse to it. Listen in to hear Karen explain this fine line!
Karen's main message has always been, "I'm here to help when it's right for you."
That's it.
Don't chase; it puts them on the defensive. It's not her style to ask people on the spot for referrals, to knock doors, or to chase down business, but she does have some examples of business practices she whole-heartedly believes in:
-
Social media: Can your friends even tell that you are a real estate agent from your social media accounts? Whether it's your personal or business account, it should be apparent that this is what you're good at and that this is how you help people.
-
Be the go-to person for all home-related resources. Karen wants to be the person her friends ask about vendors, appliances and advice. If you know a good plumber or painter, share the info! The next time they ask for your help it may be to actually buy a home.
-
Be focused on your geographic farm. Promote good businesses in your community. This indirectly makes you a big name in your community as well.

Welcome! We have a really inspiring episode for you today. Thanks for tuning in.
Remember to search Empower Coaching on Facebook to join Karen's coaching group. She's made it free through most of the summer and we want you to join us!
A little encouragement can mean a world of change. We have two beautiful stories to share that illustrate just that. Our first story is about the SATs and it's so astonishing. And our second story is about Karen's first career. Yes, in another life Karen Cooper had a completely different profession. You'll never guess what it was; you'll just have to listen. The message is that you can do wonderful things!
Another way to keep your space positive is to unfollowing social media accounts that don't feel right. If reading a post stirs up feelings of negativity, insecurity or fear, unfollow! The same goes for books. Karen was a long-time book finisher, but these days she's not afraid to either quit reading a book or set it aside for later. Protect your mindset! We need all the positivity we can get!

They say it's impossible. They say, "You can't go on vacation if you work in real estate." But, is that true?
Today Karen shows us how to take a proper vacation while still providing a high level of service to your business:
-
You don't need to keep your vacation a secret!
-
Tell your clients that your vacation starts a day earlier and goes a day longer than it actually does. (Listen in to find out why!)
-
Check your email once or twice a day while you're away so you can forward important things to your back up person, delete the junk emails, and save the emails that you will want to follow up on in a separate box within your inbox for after your vacation.
-
Don't schedule any morning appointments for your first real day back to work.
Not only are breaks from work possible, but they are necessary. If you prepare correctly, you'll return refreshed and better than before!

As we gear up to get back to normal in our businesses, whether it's because we're coming off maternity leave, illness, brokerage management position or a global pandemic, there are simple ways to build back up momentum!
In Real Estate we have two main modes: Expansion vs. Contraction. Today in Episode 23 of Empowering Women in Real Estate, Karen shows us how to take full advantage of expansion mode. (By the way, these same practices also work for new agents just starting out, too!)
We should plan on a solid 1-5 years of a little hustle. This is when you take rental listings, properties out of your immediate area and buyers. Karen is hearing that some agents' businesses are functioning at about 30% right now, so it makes sense for us to broaden our range.
Now, the more in touch you have been during your time away, the easier it's going to be to ramp up and the less time you're going to have to spend in this expansion stage. So keep having coffee over Zoom! Double down on your efforts to compensate for the restrictions you're facing.

Welcome to Empowering Women in Real Estate, The Podcast. Today in Episode 22 Karen is covering the ins and outs of Pop Bys!
Pop bys are a fantastic way to share a little treat with your clients. After a delivery Karen's clients will always snap a picture to share on social media where they tag her so it's a major marketing win.
You may want to drop and dash or you may want to stay and visit, either way your clients will feel special and remembered! And, don't forget your long-distance clients. You can make some simple Pop by mailers, too!

Today Karen gives us a doable strategy for staying in contact with our people. We're adjusting to working from home and we are limited in our access to showings and public events so let's make sure we stay close.
-
Reach out 2x weekly to your active clients. They may be hearing mixed messages on the news or from friends and family, so you need to be that calm, steady source of wisdom surrounding their transaction.
-
Contact 3 people per day. Have a low goal like this and maybe you'll get into a good rhythm and you'll want to do more than 3. In reality, it will feel easier once you get started and your calls may turn into texting conversations and that's really good, too.
-
Do 5 social media posts per week. These should be positive and should promote the community. This is your best substitute for meeting new people out and about.
-
You know Karen loves her hand written notes. She's a big believer, so keep it up and shoot for 5 per week.
And remember! Empowering Coaching is currently free. Join Karen here at www.empoweringwomeninrealestate.com. She really feels strongly about supporting as many women as possible right now.

All of our days feel pretty much the same right now, but possibly without even noticing it, we've crossed over into the 2nd quarter of the year. Karen is walking us through how to conduct a 1st quarter review for yourself, your business and your employees that is appropriate for our circumstances.
Karen is also sharing how she plans to set up 2nd quarter goals that are not transactional, so that you can measure your efforts!
Right now it's super important to set daily goals, too, because our productivity is not quite the same. Working from home and having added family and household responsibilities mean we need to restructure our daily expectations.

Welcome to Episode 18 of Empowering Women in Real Estate, the Podcast! Today Karen is talking about how systems can be your best friend in your business. Why? Because systems help make things repeatable by someone else. Systems will cut your training time in half when the time comes to hire someone new.
Even if you're not in hiring mode now systems are important for your sanity.
What do you need a system for? Any task that is something that you would do more than twice, even if it is something that you know exactly how to do.
Down the road, you'll get busier and, though it seems impossible now, you'll forget the details of that task. Many steps of real estate transactions become so automatic to us but we still experience times when we can't remember if we've done a certain step precisely because they are automatic.
All of that information that lives in your head - write out all of your steps from start to finish.

Karen is sharing time-saving hacks galore today on episode 13 of Empowering Women in Real Estate, the Podcast! Thanks for tuning in!
First, we've got to understand that saying "yes" to something means saying "no" to something else. We make these choices subconsciously sometimes so let's get on top of it!
Karen teaches us how to identify our high value activities and how to eliminate our low value activities. Her process for assessing our time commitments is fantastic!
It's true: there are certain things that only you can do. For Karen those things are that she wants to do her own client outreach and she also really values being the one who gets to drive her kids to school and talk to them in the car.
The other things... let's streamline the other things.
Hiring services to help you, especially in the busy season, may seem like an unnecessary expense, but stop to consider whether you can actually recoup the income working at what you do best! Cooking, cleaning, laundry and landscaping are a few examples. If you can't afford it in your business right now, find routines around these activities and you'll still add efficiency to your day!
This next tip is the real deal: Clean out your closet! You'll save so much time getting ready in the morning if your closet is full of clothes that fit and look good as opposed to having all of your favorite articles hidden under other things.

Welcome to Empowering Women in Real Estate, The Podcast! Today I want to offer you specific markers you can use to know if you are ready to join a team and how to pick the team model that is right for you.
I'll share my experiences over 17 years of doing business, joining a Rainmaker team and moving on.
If you're new to the business and you are focusing on leads, a Rainmaker team might be a good place to start. As soon as you notice that about half of your incoming work is from personal contacts, though, I want you to re-evaluate.
There are actually many different models of teams. These other types of teams are great for agents whose motivation is leaning more toward camaraderie and marketing assistance.
Consider these aspects of the teams you are considering:
-
What is the lead rotation system?
-
What are the splits?
-
What are the expectations of the team, especially time-wise?
The best tip I can give you is to attend a few of the open houses of the brokerage or team you are considering and chat with the agent. Talk to them about how they feel on the team.

Today I’m sharing everything I’ve learned about how to build a Real Estate Team! Thanks for tuning in!
My partner Vicky Noufal and I have built a real estate team that we are very proud of. This is actually a topic other agents ask me about quite often so I want to pull back the curtain and tell you how we did it!
First, we found a partnership we could really trust and we set it up legally.
Over the years, because of that trust, we've been able to cover for each other during major life events and having that documentation in place has made that possible.
Let me tell you how to recruit and hire in a way that allows the strongest candidates to stand out. I'll also teach you how to build a culture that feels like a family, how to structure splits that are fair to everyone.
I'll discuss a few different options for real estate team business models, specifically rainmaker teams and whether that model is right for you.
