Episode 31: Paying Your Way - Feat. Norma Millett | Real Voices Podcast

Today, we speak with Norma Millett, REALTOR® at HomeSmart.   In this episode, our guest discusses what motivated her to get into real estate, considering the dynamics experienced during her upbringing. After moving to California from Mexico, Millett recalls that her parents never owned a home and always relied on renting. Perturbed by what she considered a poor way to allocate funds and resources, she became increasingly interested in the real estate industry. And over time, during conversations, she found herself doling out advice and information about the field without even having a license. That is when she knew it was time to take action, acquire a license and assist potential buyers in the community.   “My drive in real estate is helping people get what they don’t know they can have. It’s cool to see the end result in handing over a key and saying ‘here’s your home,” Millett explained.   From there, she delves further into influences and role models that set an example in an impactful way. Millett credits her late mother for being a primary inspiration in all aspects of her life. From encouraging words to a helping hand, she recalls always being able to count on her mother.   “Everyone was blessed by her, everyone loved her. She’s always been my role model - if I ever had challenges, I'd always think ‘what would my mom do?” Millett expressed.   Listen across a multitude of streaming services including YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts and Google Podcasts, and learn more about her incredible journey!
