02: Women Can Be Real Estate Power Players Too with Anne Feste

May 17, 2017

Today's great, go-getter guest is Anne Feste, a mom of two grown children, who has been practicing Real Estate for eighteen years... and she's Carla's best friend.

 

Anne grew up in rural Washington in a town that was known for fishing and lumber. Her biggest issue, while growing up, was being told that women could only be teachers, nurses or housewives- with the ultimate goal being to marry someone and have him be successful. This looked like a losing game to Anne, so she became fierce about learning how to be independent and how to make her own way in life. She found Real Estate to be a great means for creating that. Listen in today and find out more about what gets Anne going.

 

On today's show, Anne talks to Carla about:

 

• What brought her to Real Estate.
• Why she would recommend seeing a Career Counsellor.
• Her game-changing experience after finishing Real Estate School.
• How her one-page business plan became a game changer.
• Her story about why the bank took her out to lunch in 2000.
• The sale in her first year that she countered back fifteen times, before closing.
• The house with an outline of a body on the floor...
• Her biggest challenge in the Real Estate business.
• Where she gathers her strength when the going gets tough.
• Her advice to a younger version of herself, starting out in Real Estate.
• The best advice that she's been given.
• Why you need to measure your dollar all the time.
• Why you shouldn't cheat your life for wishy-washy clients.
