What I’d Do Differently If I Was a New Agent in Today’s Market

Play Bigger in Real Estate with Raquel Q.

The truth is: starting over doesn’t mean starting from scratch. It means starting with experience. And when you combine that with clarity, systems, and support — you win faster.

In this episode, I’m breaking down the 6 simple but powerful steps I’d take to rebuild a thriving, aligned, and profitable business — from day one.

Here’s what I cover in this episode:

• How to move with confidence even if you’re brand new or rebuilding
• The power of mentorship and how to find the right guide
• Why following top producers will change your thinking and strategy
• How to simplify lead generation instead of chasing shiny objects
• The real reason your daily routine isn’t bringing in revenue — and how to fix it
• Why community is the cheat code to long-term success

If I were starting over, here are my 5 steps:

1. Hire a coach or mentor – I wouldn’t go it alone. I’d get someone who’s been where I want to go.
2. Shadow top agents – Watch how they move, think, and win in today’s market.
3. Choose 3 lead sources – Then build systems around them. Simplicity scales.
4. Say yes to free lead sources – Zillow, OpsCity, Homelight, teams… anything that gets you reps.
5. Lock in a revenue routine – 60-90 mins of intentional lead gen every single day.
6. Join a community or mastermind – The right room changes your strategy, your mindset, and your results.

Whether you’re starting, rebuilding, or pivoting, I want you to know:
🧭 You are not behind.
⚡ You are being prepared.
🔥 You don’t need a perfect plan — you need consistent action.

This episode will give you clarity, momentum, and the strategy to move forward with bold confidence. Let’s build a business and life that feels aligned and unstoppable.
