We were lucky to catch up with Jessica Myers recently and have shared our conversation below.
Jessica, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. Alright, let’s jump into one of the most exciting parts of starting a new firm – how did you get your first client who was not a friend or family?

Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers.

I was surrounded by well-known realtors with 30+ years in the business and by newcomers who were joining family teams. I doubted myself many times in those first few months.

I kept in mind that Babe Ruth saying: “It’s hard to beat a person who never gives up.”
