Starting out in real estate can be tough. It doesn’t take long to realize that you not only do you need to learn common procedures and processes but also about people’s buying behaviors. Finding a community of folks who are seasoned in these areas is one of the most efficient ways to learn these things. And this is precisely why Jasmine (and her husband Jeff) chatted with Real Estate Broker Jennifer Kjellgren in this episode. They break down methods to find your people in real estate, how doing so can help you stay grounded and grow faster than if you try to navigate it alone, and more.  Watch this episode on YouTube Jasmine Mortgage Team  Jennifer’s contact info: Instagram, Email: [email protected], website  Agent Upgrade: Facebook, YouTube, Website, Instagram

Over the past few years, it’s been harder to separate our personal lives from our work lives. They’ve become more intertwined for reasons beyond our control. There is a certain grief in this change but there’s also an opportunity. Bridging the calm from our personal lives into what can be momentary chaos in our busy professional lives can help balance things out. Maybe, just maybe, it’s time to be more human in all aspects of our lives instead of trying to shift between friendly and professional. These are the shifts that Jasmin and her guest, Adair Cates are digging into during this conversation.  Watch this episode on YouTube:  https://youtu.be/WUly0WWNq1c Jasmine Mortgage Team https://www.jasminemortgageteam.com/ Adair Cates, https://adaircates.com/ Agent Upgrade: Facebook, YouTube, Website, Instagram
