The Mom's Wealth Club Podcast with Lynn Plata

Lily Duong built her business differently than a lot of people in real estate.She didn't go build a huge online brand.She didn't try to become a different personality.And she did not fake confidence through a bunch of sales training.She focused on relationships, systems, good people, and learning how to stay ahead as the business keeps changing.In this episode, we talk about what transaction coordinators actually do, how she built her team, how AI is already affecting the industry, and why real estate may look very different over the next few years.I think a lot of people will relate to Lily because she built something successful while still being herself.Connect with Lily Duong:🌐 https://www.compasstcservices.com🎵 Music Credit:Creative Commons — Attribution 3.0 Unported — CC BY 3.0Music promoted by Copyright Free Music - Background Music For Videoshttps://www.youtube.com/@podcastbackgroundmusic
