204. Thriving as a Solo Agent (with Nikki Miller) Feb 19, 2024

Show notes

Are you a solo real estate agent who feels like you’ve hit your ceiling, but don’t want to join or build a team? Nikki Miller has been in your shoes. In this episode, we learn about her personal experience in this situation and what she decided to do about it.

Nikki and her team at The LEAD Syndicate built a first-of-its-kind leverage platform

that's exclusively and specifically optimized for individual real estate agents. You get all the support, all the infrastructure, all the benefits of being on a team, but you get to keep your individual brand.

Of course we cover more than just the business side of life. We talk to Nikki about her transition from being an agent so busy she couldn’t take care of a pet fish, to being a mom, wife, and yes, even caregiver to a pet fish. Her approach to public speaking, parenting, and sharing the workload at home is refreshing and honest. Tune in and enjoy the conversation!
