Taya DiCarlo | From Closing $1 to $10M While Pregnant Sep 03, 2018

Taya DiCarlo is one of my personal favorite real estate agents to follow on social media. Maybe it's her charisma or the thoughtfully planned out posts for this LA agent who originally grew up in the San Francisco area. Growing up and being involved in student council and cheer, the plan for Taya was to attend the University of Oregon to study journalism and become an on-air reporter... not real estate.
