“You're your only ceiling. There's not a lot of opportunity like that and real estate is definitely one of them.”
Episode 36 of The Smart Agents Podcast features our conversation with California-based realtor Kim Hogue. Just six years into her real estate career, Kim is coming off a 2020 that saw 400% growth. Her diverse background has certainly made a big impact.
“I've done a lot of things… became Chamber of Commerce CEO, I was a general manager of a fitness center, a kickboxing instructor, and I was also in the military.”
While 2020 was a major success, Kim explains her real estate career was not always that way but she was able to push past early failures with a strong will and mindset of perseverance.
“You got to be able to push and perseverance, because it takes a little while to gain some traction. But, what I would say to a person is if you really love it, if you like it, if it's what you want to do, then persevere, keep learning, do everything you can to learn.”
