Summary
If you had to lose the paperwork and keep only one habit to grow your business this year would it be answering the phone or following up? In this episode of the Real Estate Excellence Podcast, Tracy Hayes sits down with Tina Priest. Tina shares how her service first mindset shaped her path into real estate through military life social work and operational leadership. She explains why Hover Girl Properties focuses on boundaries transparency and real relationships so clients feel seen not processed, especially when timelines are tight and emotions are high. You will hear practical habits that helped Tina exceed her goal in 2025 including answering unknown calls working weekends when it matters and using Zoom consults to build trust fast with out of town buyers. She also breaks down why follow up creates raving fans, why a transaction coordinator protects your energy, and why the job often continues after closing for military clients who have not even arrived yet.
