Summary
What happens when a 20-year real estate veteran says yes to mentoring a brand-new agent? In this episode, I sit down with Platinum Group team members Jodi Hooper and Val Ovalle to talk about a modern mentorship story that has transformed both of their businesses. Jodi has been licensed since 2005. After years of saying she might retire "soon," she found something she didn't know she needed — mentoring. Val joined our team in late August, received her license in September… and was our Top Producer by December — less than four months into her career. But this episode isn't about production numbers. It's about: What new agents really need in their first 90 days Why mentorship is more than just contracts and compliance How experienced agents can build a path toward legacy with mentorship The power of collaboration over competition And why no one should try to do this business alone If you're a new agent wondering where to start… Or a seasoned agent wondering what's next… This conversation will give you perspective, possibility, and maybe even a new path forward.
