I enjoyed that role because I could help new agents be successful, and it was a lot of fun. After moving from Northern Maryland to Southern Maryland in 2017, I joined RE\/MAX. I had some of the agents from my productivity coaching come with me to form a team that we called The Radiant Home Group. I was like the mama bear, leading my team of agents and support staff ranging from 10-14 amazing humans through the wild world of real-estating. I loved that size of a team because it kept me busy with coaching, but still gave me enough bandwidth to work with my own clients.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>What made you decide to join Redfin?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I serve as the president of the Southern Maryland Association of Realtors. It was through my involvement there that I met this incredible lady, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/real-estate-agents\/kim-gosnell\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kim Gosnell<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, who works for Redfin as a sales manager. Kim wore a Redfin hat to our Association\u2019s Awards ceremony last year, which is always going to spark conversation! She swears to this day that she wasn\u2019t trying to recruit me, and I think that\u2019s true because she was so genuine! She was just really interested in how I work and what motivates me. The first time I met her, she asked how I\u2019d sum up my approach to real estate in a sentence. I said if I were trying to help a new agent, I\u2019d say \u201cdo the right thing, and the universe will work itself out.\u201d And she was like \u201cno way, that\u2019s practically one of Redfin\u2019s core values!\u201d So the more I learned about Redfin from her, I realized that this makes more sense than it doesn\u2019t.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>How has joining Redfin changed the way you work?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You really live inside your tech here. The traditional world isn\u2019t great at that! When Kim told me I\u2019d be living by a calendar and a CRM, I said \u201cthat\u2019s not for me.\u201d And it\u2019s so cheesy, but I love it now. I love the level of seamless organization it gives me. It\u2019s like having a magical fairy that makes things happen. New leads\u2026 check. Appointments\u2026 check. Team meetings\u2026 check. Kids\u2019 volleyball games\u2026 check\u2014all tied up in a pretty red bow. I thought I was organized before, but Redfin has really kicked that up a notch.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a Redfin agent, I still do real estate my way, but there\u2019s a bigger picture now. I\u2019ve had a team my entire real estate career, yet I feel more like a team now as a solo agent than I ever did before. I like that I am just responsible for myself, but as a bonus I have Young and Catherine (my coordinators), and I have associate agents all across my territory to help with so much more than just showings! These are all totally my people, but I\u2019m also not in charge of them. There\u2019s a level of professionalism in the Redfin model. And it already shows in my results\u2014I\u2019m only a few months into my Redfin world, and I\u2019ve closed more than I anticipated and have even more under contract.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>What do you think makes Redfin different from other brokerages?\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Redfin has an entire group of humans who actually believe that if they do the right thing for their clients, then all will be well in the world.\u00a0 It\u2019s about going a step further, doing the right thing, not just for buyers and sellers, but for your agents as well. On top of that, Redfin provides the support to follow through with it, to make it all come full circle. This is what makes for a better working experience and working relationships with the people around you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>What would you say to an agent who was thinking about joining Redfin?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I know that it\u2019s tough to transition between brokerages, especially from a \u201ctraditional model\u201d to the Redfin model that does things so differently. Our whole careers we\u2019ve been told the benefits of being business owners, catering towards the entrepreneurial spirit that I know a lot of great agents have. But I think people need to understand how powerful it can be to have those things taken care of for you. Take the cost of your office space, your mileage, your leads, your team\u2014then add on to it, how much does it cost me in terms of time and energy to manage all of that? How many more clients can you be helping with that time and energy? It\u2019s not that my system was broken, but it\u2019s a paradigm shift that you don\u2019t know you\u2019re ready for. It\u2019s been the biggest blessing of my career to realize what it could look like to do things differently.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Redfin is looking for ambitious, mission-driven agents and managers to join our team nationwide.
