🚀 Can you build a multi-million dollar real estate career in a brand-new city where you know absolutely nobody? 🌴🏠

On this episode of The Adventures of a Real Estate Broker, host Daniel Berger sits down with Alicia Holmquist - Myrtle Beach’s famed "That Ducking Awesome Realtor" (yes, the one cruising between showings in that iconic bright yellow Jeep!).

When Alicia relocated from New England to South Carolina in 2020, she had zero local connections and zero sphere of influence. But armed with 20+ years of raw sales grit - spanning everything from professional photography and police/fire two-way radios to lawn care and dentistry services - she built her empire completely from scratch.

Fast forward to her 5th year in the industry: Alicia doubled her production year-over-year and officially launched her own powerhouse team just two weeks before this podcast.
