Cathy Sommerville is an inspiration to and support for women in real estate, with two-plus decades of on-the-ground experience as an agent and a thriving practice as a coach for others. In this heart-full conversation, she and Cynthia talk about the particular challenges that women in the industry face and offer some wisdom about how others can “grow and upgrade.”
Highlights:
- Real estate gives you the opportunity to “Create a good business but also grow strong wings as an individual.”
- “You have to work at the pace of the relationship… All the technology in the world doesn’t take the place of the relationship”
- We don’t have a clip of the steak-cutting scene from Mr. Mom, but here’s another fun clip from that movie. https://youtu.be/zBLsO7BKVHw?si=YDHn6fpTQpor6Ai8
- If we want to succeed as Realtors, we have to “shift from having an agenda to being on an adventure.”
- “High stress does not lead to high performance.
- Tune in to hear what is meant by “fiduciary fairy.”
- “It’s very easy to be the smartest person in the room when everyone else is drinking,” and more about women and alcohol abuse
