In this episode Taylor Rhodes sits down with Cookie, a Realtor who transitioned from corporate life to real estate and built a successful business through grit, mentorship, and relentless customer service. She shares real-world insights on the realities of the job: mountains of paperwork, last-minute hurdles before closing, and the importance of managing taxes as a self-employed agent.
Cookie also offers practical advice for new agents and buyers — find a mentor, save rather than splurge on commissions, get prequalified, and focus on relationships to earn repeat and referral business.
