People often think about getting into real estate for the freedom and income potential, but the path to success often looks very different from what they imagine. Between market shifts, long hours, and the learning curve of running a business, it can be hard to know where to start or how to build real momentum. That’s why mentorship, systems, and the right team can make all the difference.

I had the pleasure of interviewing Amy Lee, a former teacher and mom, who discovered this firsthand. What began as a part-time idea turned into a thriving career once she found the right guidance and community. With support from her team, access to lead systems, and a culture built on collaboration, she’s grown her business year after year, all while still making time for her family and traveling the world.

Her story is a reminder that success in real estate isn’t just about working harder, but about surrounding yourself with people who help you grow, stay accountable, and find balance.
