01What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
Getting a mentor in the business is really critical. I wish I had started off as a power broker's assistant to earn a small salary and touch a bunch of different files under high-producing agent's tutelage. I continue to mentor younger agents as I was mentored, and find it important to work it both ways as you get just as much from your mentee.
