Marilyn is a trailblazer in a market often overlooked for its luxury potential, and she has set unparalleled records, including being the first and only agent to sell over $100 million in Western North Carolina. Marilyn shares her incredible journey from humble beginnings and struggles of the Great Recession to becoming not just a real estate agent but the top real estate agent. She’s both candid and vulnerable in sharing both her weakness and strengths as she shares her strategies for breaking into high-end markets and the mindset that drives her unstoppable success as she and I talk about: Breaking Barriers and Breaking Records in Luxury Real Estate.⚡️Powered by BreakthroughLuxury Coaching & Membership https://BreakthroughLuxury.com 💜 Subscribe to my channel:   https://www.youtube.com/@JereMetcalfPodcast================Chapter Notes:00:00 Introduction00:31 Selling $100 Million in a market where “it’s not possible”01:41 Marilyn's Story05:48 The Meaning of Balance06:52 The One Who Changed My Life07:42 Her Secrets to Success14:24 Hyper Focus18:14 From Mother to Top Real Estate Agent20:10 The Biggest Challenge/Surprise25:31 The Connections of Agents30:41 Being Grateful36:23 Marilyn's Secret Sauce41:31 Rejection is Protection43:13 The Greatest Resource in Her Success44:49 Life Changing Book51:05 The One ThingPeople/ Resources Mentioned:Mayi de la VegaONE Sotheby's International RealtyQueen ElizabethSitzer-BurnettBeatrix MasottiPremier Sotheby’s International Realty Sotheby’s International Realty Books:The 12 Week Year by Brian P.
