The world of real estate is always evolving. The challenge, however, is to keep up with these changes and adapt your strategies to remain successful. In the recent Agent Rise Breakthrough Week, hosted by Neil Mathweg and co-hosted by Mindi Kessenich, several breakthrough agents shared their experiences and strategies for success in the market.
One of the significant themes that emerged during this week was the importance of persistence and consistency. There isn’t a magic button that can ensure immediate success. Instead, success in real estate requires a robust framework, planning, and hard work.
Another consistent theme was the importance of community. The real estate community is not just about competing against each other. It’s about growing and rising together. The stories shared during the week emphasized the importance of being a part of a supportive community, which provides guidance and mentorship.
Additionally, in these challenging times, the focus has shifted from people who want to move to those who need to move. This has opened up new opportunities in areas like senior living, relocations, investments, and new construction (with a lack of inventory).
For those keen on refining their strategies and adopting a robust plan congruent with their personalities and the current market, the Agent Rise Bootcamp is an excellent place to start.

The Anatomy of Success: Amy McLendon on Transitioning from Nursing to Real Estate
The field of real estate is full of fascinating stories of growth, breakthroughs, and unexpected career changes. One such story is that of Amy McLendon, who transitioned from a 20-year nursing career to real estate, finding a new way to serve and help people.
A Career Shift Rooted in Passion
Amy spent two decades in nursing, primarily in the operating room, where she found her calling in helping others. But as a single mom, Amy needed more flexibility in her schedule. Her friend and fellow nurse Mindy, who had also transitioned into real estate, introduced her to the field. It wasn’t long before Amy realized that real estate provided another platform where she could continue her life’s mission of helping people.
Building a Business Around Relationships
From the get-go, Amy focused on what she knew best: building strong relationships. Her sphere of influence was nurtured through a multifaceted approach, incorporating social media, handwritten notes, client events, and monthly newsletters. She excelled in client care, turning most of her clients into friends and raving fans.
The Power of Coaching and Community
The Agent Rise coaching system played a pivotal role in Amy’s journey. As a newcomer in real estate, Amy was overwhelmed, but Agent Rise gave her the confidence and structure she needed. She credits the coaching and community for not only teaching her the ropes but also for inspiring her to make bold moves, such as creating off-market opportunities for her clients.
A Focus on the Future
Now, Amy plans to use her nursing background to specialize in serving in senior living. She recognized the increasing need for real estate services geared towards seniors, making it a natural next step in her career.
The Key Takeaway
The biggest lesson to be learned from Amy’s story is that real estate is not solely about houses; it’s about people. And nobody exemplifies this better than Amy McLendon, who has built her career on strong relationships and a genuine desire to help others. If you’re looking to break into real estate or are seeking ways to reinvent your current practice, focusing on authentic relationships might just be the key to your success, too.

The deck was stacked against Paige. Her kids were home from school because of COVID, her husband was deployed serving our great country, and heaviness was over her that left her feeling lazy, tired, and depressed.
A year earlier she had quit her dental hygienist job to pursue a career in real estate. It was exciting, but now, a year later, money was getting extremely tight. She knew what to do and how to do, she was extremely well trained, and she even had a clear plan that was congruent to her, but she still wasn’t getting results.
No closings.
She was beyond stuck!
Ever been there? How do you get out of that situation? How do you get going again?
As Paige’s coach, you might be tempted to give her pep talk and encourage her to keep going, stop being lazy, and just go!
But, I couldn’t do that. In my mind she wasn’t being lazy. She was working her tail off, but she just wasn’t getting the results. I also noticed that she was fantastic at generating leads. Her chase pillar in the Agent Rise Three Pillar Plan, was Facebook ads. She was crushing it with her ads and generating a lot of great leads.
But here’s where she struggled: converting those leads.
In the moment on the call with her I said, “You are sleeping in the harvest. You’re planting the seeds, and nurturing the crops, but then when it comes time to harvest them, you’re sleeping.”
That was the right thing to say in the moment, and it really resonated with Paige.
Paige jumped into action and began MatchMaking with all of the leads she had. One deal came together, then another, and another. She broke through. As a result, throughout much of her second year, she had 7 or more deals pending.
She broke through with a clear plan that was congruent to her, and then stayed consistent. You can too! Learn more about MatchMaking, lead generation, and finding a plan that works for you by joining Agent Rise today.
