The TC Exchange Podcast Episode 25: Rookie to Pro - A Chat with Samantha Stokes

Episode 25 Show Notes: Rookie to Pro - A Chat with Samantha Stokes

Welcome back to the TC Exchange Podcast. I am so thrilled to have you listen in. In this month’s episode of Rookie to Pro, I am joined by Samantha Stokes, a good friend and very special guest. Samantha began her career in education, but quickly realized it was not a great fit. She transitioned to the real estate field jumping at the opportunity to learn the ins and outs from a former Detroit Tigers player turned real estate agent. Six years later, she operates her own thriving independent TC business! 

With years of experience, over 1000 transactions closed, and a passion for helping others, Samantha is making a positive impact in the real estate industry. She keeps her focus on building relationships with clients and generating new business, while knowing that each transaction she touches is in capable hands.

Today, Samantha and I will discuss: 

  • (1:22) A new beginning: changing careers

  • (4:28) Making sure agents know the TC role exists

  • (8:04) How asking questions can build success

  • (10:42) Samantha’s transition from working for an agent to starting her own business in ONE DAY!

  • (36:45) Managing your business to avoid burnout and growing your business in a healthy way

  • (48:10) Finding your who and collaborating with your community
