311. Amanda Howard: Breaking Barriers in Real Estate, Making the ‘Impossible’ Possible

Today I’m talking to Amanda Howard, The Amanda Howard of Amanda Howard Sotheby’s International Realty of Huntsville Alabama. Not only is it not supposed to be impossible to get your name on a Sotheby’s International Realty Affiliate Office, it’s not supposed to be possible to be the top agent year one in any market. It’s especially not supposed to be possible in Huntsville Alabama, and it’s especially not supposed to be possible when you enter Huntsville knowing no one.  It’s absolutely not supposed to be possible coming in as a single mom of toddlers. But, If you tell Amanda Howard something isn’t possible she literally doesn’t hear it and if she does she doesn’t comprehend it as anything but one more challenge to show up and make it happen. Today Amanda and I talk about Breaking Barriers in Real Estate and Making the Impossible Possible.⚡️Powered by BreakthroughLuxury Coaching & Membership https://BreakthroughLuxury.com 💜 Subscribe to my channel:   https://www.youtube.com/@JereMetcalfPodcast================Chapter Notes:00:00 Introduction01:01 How Amanda Howard Got into Real Estate05:57 The Secret to Success10:32 Raises well and strong15:01 Amanda’s Biggest Lesson & Challenge18:26 Stepping Up and Stepping Out22:31 It's Not Always About You23:21 Amanda’s Big Opening and Bigger Surprise 25:04 Be Kind, Forgive & Always Remember27:35 Running a Team29:26 Team Accountability36:44 Structuring Your Team38:06 Reasons to Get Hired41:40 DPA vs KPI48:38 Amanda's Biggest Aha About This Business52:45 The Best Resource in Creating Success53:34 The Book58:09 The One ThingPeople/ Resources Mentioned:Sotheby's International RealtyAmanda Howard Sotheby’s International Realty Wesley MaddenBlake MorarChris Abbot Philip A.
