Someone with less experience is passing you... here’s why
I want to share something with you that most agents don’t think about, but should.
I want to share something with you that most agents don’t think about, but should.
Right now, somewhere in your market, there’s an agent with less experience, fewer tools, and a smaller database… and they’re gaining ground.
Not because they’re better.
Not because they’re lucky.
But because they woke up this morning and decided to treat today like an opportunity instead of an obligation.
And the truth is, that’s what this business rewards.
Success doesn’t belong to the most talented agent.
It belongs to the most committed one.
The agent who makes the extra call.
The one who follows up again when everyone else stops.
The one who hosts the open house even when the weather is miserable.
The one who posts the video even when they feel awkward doing it.
You don’t need a bigger budget or a perfect market to grow.
You need intention, action…
and the willingness to squeeze every drop out of the next 30 days.
Because in real estate, small windows create big momentum…
and right now, most agents are slowing down, stepping back, or getting distracted.
Which means you have a chance to take market share they’ll never get back.
If you committed… truly committed, to showing up at your highest level for the next month… your pipeline, your confidence, and your business would look completely different.
So the question isn’t:
“Do you have what it takes?”
You already do.
The real question is:
“Are you ready to act like it?”

REALTOR, Buyer’s Specialist

He shared his dream of entering the real estate world and explained that with a growing family—two children and one on the way—failure simply wasn’t an option. From the start, he knew there was no greater mentor than Heather and no better environment than the team at Skender-Newton Realty. Heather holds her agents to the highest standards and consistently pushes them beyond what they ever thought they could achieve. Ryan credits his success to receiving top-tier real estate training and having access to the best tools in the industry, all of which help him rise to the top. To him, Heather’s team is the perfect fit for those who want to become the best version of themselves and have no interest in settling for mediocrity.
