126: Kendra Lanterman, When the Plan Changes - You Have Too As Well, West+Main Homes

As we launch the 4th season of Mindset Maters, I was thrilled to sit down with my friend Kendra Lanterman of West+Main Homes - a born-and-raised Arvada native who has been in the real estate industry since she was 16 years old. Kendra got her start answering phones at her Nana Jane's brokerage, and by 17, she knew there was no turning back. 24 years later, she's still doing what she loves - and she's doing it with a level of integrity that the industry desperately needs more of.Having bought her first home in 2005 and facing the challenges of potential foreclosure in 2008 - all while pregnant with her first child – Kendra learned firsthand how a 2 year home can become a 10 year one, how to prepare for moments when things do not go as planned, and how she can use so many of the lessons she has learned along the years to help her show up for her clients.As you’ll hear, it’s clear how serious Kendra takes her responsibilities to her family and her clients as we talked about balancing motherhood with a commission-only career, building her business around her family instead of the other way around, and why she's talked herself out of more deals than most agents would admit to - because it simply wasn't the right move for her clients.If you've ever felt like the real estate or mortgage industry is more focused on the transaction than the person - this episode is for you. Kendra is the kind of professional who roots for you whether you're her client, her colleague, or a complete stranger. Tune in, share it with someone who needs to hear it, and as always… Mindset Matters. [email protected]: @jimmythesaint5280
