Moms in Real Estate

What if you could build a wildly successful real estate business… without buying a single lead?

In this episode, I sit down with Shelby Hodges, top-producing agent, community connector, and mom of FOUR (yes, four under three ????) who’s quietly built a $38M, 85-transaction business powered entirely by relationships.

We’re diving into the real strategies behind her success, including:

  • How she turned simple “pop-bys” into a scalable referral system
  • The exact way she’s building a nationwide agent network (hint: it starts with a “creepy” DM)
  • Why consistency and genuine connection beat hustle culture every time
  • How she grew her business by 80% while working less and protecting her time as a mom
  • The systems she’s refining (and the mistakes she’s owning) as she scales her team

Shelby proves that you don’t need to chase leads, you just need to show up, stay top of mind, and actually care about people.

If you’ve ever felt turned off by traditional sales tactics and want to grow your business in a way that feels natural, relational, and sustainable… this episode is your permission slip.

✨ Plus: We talk team culture, referrals from retiring agents, and how one teacher made $26K from just a few conversations.
