We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Ketra Richmond a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.

Ketra, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. Let’s kick things off with your mission – what is it and what’s the story behind why it’s your mission?

 

Certainly! ‘Keys To A Richer Life’ is more than a business venture; it’s rooted in my life story. As a teen mother and high school dropout at 16, I didn’t seem destined for success. However, these early challenges fueled my determination to create a better life.

I stumbled into a career as an Apartment Leasing Consultant, providing me with stability and a passion for helping others. From these beginnings, my mission evolved.
As a Licensed Texas Realtor, I realized that leading a “richer life” isn’t just about material things; it’s about personal growth and finding your ideal place.
In 2022, I founded ‘The Apt University’ to share my 20+ years of industry knowledge, offering career courses and one-on-one training, not just within the industry but for those interested in apartment leasing.
It’s not just about finding a job; it’s about cultivating a well-rounded existence. I’ve been through the uncertainty and now guide others.
‘Keys To A Richer Life’ and ‘The Apt University’ are my ways of paying it forward. I use my experiences to help individuals realize their full potential, embracing authenticity, celebrating achievements, and supporting their quest for holistic well-being and finding a place to call home.

My mission is to make a positive impact, with stories of transformation reminding us that leading a richer life is a tangible reality within everyone’s reach.

Ketra, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?
Absolutely, Hey y’all (insert southern twang here…lol)
I’m Ketra Richmond, the founder of ‘Keys To A Richer Life’ and ‘The Apt University.’ My journey began with some twists: As I mentioned, I was a teen mom at 16 and a high school dropout. Despite that, I’m determined to create a meaningful path for myself and my family.

In 2003, I entered the real estate industry as an Apartment Leasing Consultant, showing that success doesn’t always require traditional education. In 2018, I became a Licensed Texas Realtor, helping people find their dream homes.
My unconventional journey shows that success isn’t limited to traditional paths. I’m driven to empower individuals to create their own path to a richer life, whether it’s finding the perfect job, personal growth, or securing their dream home. I provide resources, coaching, and workshops to help them overcome obstacles and align with their aspirations.
What inspires me most is witnessing transformation stories as clients gain confidence, achieve goals, and open doors to new opportunities.
For those considering joining me, expect a commitment to authenticity, growth, and finding your unique space in the world.

 

We often hear about learning lessons – but just as important is unlearning lessons. Have you ever had to unlearn a lesson?
100%… That’s the story of my life!
One of the most valuable lessons I had to relearn was that success doesn’t require following a set path. In the past, I believed that a traditional education and a specific career path were the only ways to achieve my goals. I began with doubt, thinking my unconventional journey was somehow less valid. It took time for me to understand that success isn’t limited to a single route; I had to forge my own path.

Success is as unique as each of us, and there isn’t just one ‘right’ way to achieve our dreams. Realizing this led me to embrace my non-traditional journey and leverage my distinctive strengths. This lesson is close to my heart, transforming my life and driving me to empower others through ‘Keys To A Richer Life’ and ‘The Apt University.’ I now encourage everyone to trust their unique journey and recognize that success is a personal journey, not a predetermined destination.

We’d love to hear about how you keep in touch with clients.

Sure! I believe in maintaining strong & authentic client connections.  I achieve this by doing taking these steps:

  • Personalized Communication: I treat each client uniquely by understanding their specific needs, preferences, and goals. This allows me to tailor my communication to resonate personally with them.
  • Consistent Engagement: I ensure there’s a steady flow of valuable content, whether through social media updates or regular check-ins. I provide information ranging from industry insights to personal growth tips, enriching their lives.
  • Open Channels of Communication: I make it easy for clients to reach out to me whenever they have questions, concerns, or simply want to connect. This accessibility fosters a sense of trust and approachability.
  • Authenticity: Above all, I believe in being authentic. Clients can tell when someone genuinely cares. My approach is not just about business; it’s about building lasting relationships grounded in trust and respect.

By combining personalized attention, valuable content, and authentic engagement, I create a community where clients feel valued, understood, and inspired. This, I believe, is the essence of fostering lasting brand loyalty.
