info_outlineThis episode is extra special because today’s guest is the real estate agent who helped my husband and I find our first home. I won’t get into the whole story about how we met her but needless to say, you never know who you can meet when you’re open to making connections. A random encounter led to us finding Lindsay. Not only did she seamlessly guide us through the homebuying process, making us feel comfortable every step of the way, we’ve also become friends!
Lindsay made a huge career change from software sales to real estate during COVID after realizing she was unhappy with the status quo. After taking all of the necessary steps, cold calling and putting herself out there she landed a job with the Kirsten Jordan team at Douglas Elliman where she is a rising star in the industry and contributed to over $35MM in real estate transactions. But this conversation isn’t all about real estate, it’s about taking that scary leap into something new, trusting your instincts and claiming your confidence to be in a job that feels right.
If you’ve ever had that gut feeling telling you “this isn’t right” then this conversation is for you.
We discuss:
- What inspired her to make a big career change, how self reflection helped her figure out what the next step would be and considerations everyone should take into account when assessing their own situation if they’re in an unsatisfying job
- How she knew it was the right time to take the leap
- The value of transferable skills and how she applied her sales experience to her new career
- Navigating imposter syndrome and using what she knows to be true to build confidence
- How she takes care of herself with a busy and demanding schedule
- Building a support system of like-minded people for inspiration and advice
- The challenges of maintaining work-life balance in a flexible work environment and strategies for time management and effectively structuring the day
- Real estate market insights and trends including what to consider when you’re looking to buy a home
Lindsay reminds us that it’s never too late to make a change and pursue the things that you feel passionate about if you just take the right next step.
