Single Mother at 25 — How Cathy Huang Built a $300M+ Sales Business in 5 Years

Subscribe to my Newsletter: https://travelstylechic.substack.com/Welcome back to the Genuinely Good Podcast.In this episode, I sat down with an incredibly inspiring female founder—Cathy Huang, the Founder & Broker of Record of ACRE Realty.In just a few years, Cathy built ACRE Realty into a powerhouse real estate brokerage with over 170 agents across New York and New Jersey and a record-breaking $300 million in annual sales—all without outside partners, and largely through the power of social media.Cathy shares her journey from being an international student struggling to find housing in New York, to navigating divorce, single motherhood, and rock-bottom moments that forced her to rebuild her life from scratch. What started as a necessity turned into a calling—and eventually, a platform that now changes the lives of hundreds of agents.In this conversation, we talk about how she transformed herself during COVID, leveraged platforms like Little Red Book (Xiaohongshu), and used AI tools to scale her business, manage teams across countries, and stay focused amid nonstop pressure.We also dive into burnout, sacrifice, and what it really takes to grow a business—giving up social life, redefining priorities, and choosing long-term fulfillment over short-term comfort.This episode isn’t just about real estate.It’s about resilience, reinvention, and how hitting rock bottom can unlock your greatest potential.If you’re a young woman building a business, questioning your path, or learning how to stay grounded while chasing big goals, I hope this episode reminds you that your hardest seasons can become the foundation of something extraordinary.Thank you for being here 🤍/// MY SOCIAL MEDIA \\My Social Profiles:➫ Instagram: / travelstylechic➫ TikTok: / travelstylechicGENuinely Good Podcast➫ Instagram: / genuinely.goodMy Flower Shop:➫ Website: https://flowerevershop.com/➫ Instagram: / flowerever.shop➫ TikTok: / flowerever.shop#personalgrowth #womenempowerment #femaleentrepreneur #realestate #podcast
