Surround Yourself with Success: Building Your Real Estate Business Through Mentorship and Strong Networks

The people we surround ourselves with either raise or lower our standards. They either help us to become the-best-version-of-ourselves or encourage us to become lesser versions of ourselves.

With recent changes announced by the National Association of Realtors (NAR), many agents are facing a new landscape full of uncertainty. As the rules shift, it’s clear that adapting to these changes will be crucial for continued success. For some, this might mean reevaluating their strategies, adjusting how they operate, and, more than ever, leaning on a strong network for support.

A few months ago, we worked with an agent named Mike, who had been in real estate for about five years. Like many of you today, Mike found himself at a crossroads. He had built a solid foundation of knowledge and was closing deals regularly, but with the market evolving and new challenges arising, he felt like he had hit a ceiling. He knew he had to adapt, but he wasn’t sure how to break through.


That’s when Mike decided to take a step back and rethink his approach. He realized that while hard work and passion had gotten him this far, the changes ahead required more. He needed people around him who could help him grow, push his boundaries, and give him fresh perspectives on the new challenges. So, Mike began surrounding himself with mentors, colleagues, and peers who could help him navigate this shifting landscape.

But the transformation didn’t stop there. Mike built a trusted network of colleagues and partners to help with the practical aspects of his listings. He worked with professional stagers to ensure each home stood out, hired an experienced transaction coordinator to streamline the paperwork and keep his deals on track, and, of course, Rae Allen Media to provide professional photography that made his listings shine in an increasingly competitive market.


Our team captured everything from drone footage to immersive 3D tours and floor plans, all of which helped buyers truly envision themselves in the home. By working together and bouncing creative ideas off one another, we were able to help Mike not only adapt but thrive in an industry full of new challenges.

Within a few months, Mike saw real results. His listings attracted more attention online, sales closed faster, and his clients noticed the difference. Word spread about his ability to navigate these industry changes while maintaining top-notch service. With the support of mentors, peers, and a strong network, Mike wasn’t just keeping up—he was leading the way.



At Rae Allen Media, we understand that the real estate industry is in a period of transition. Just like Mike, we rely on our own mentors, peers, and colleagues to keep us ahead of the curve. We attend industry conferences, collaborate with other professionals, and adapt to the changing landscape. These events and connections allow us to learn new strategies, get inspired by success stories, and stay ahead of trends so that we can bring you cutting-edge service. Success is never achieved in isolation, and our continuous growth allows us to better serve our clients every day—even in uncertain times.


The question is: Who’s on your team? Are they helping you navigate the changes in the industry and pushing you to grow? Surround yourself with people who lift you higher, and together, we can build something great—even in the face of uncertainty.
