What makes a great teacher make a great realtor? Turns out, a lot.

In this episode of Shooting the Sheetrock, I sit down with Carrie — a former teacher who traded the classroom for real estate — to talk about what that leap actually looked like, and why the skills that made her good with a class full of kids make her even better with buyers and sellers.

We get into the honest side of the business: the mistakes people make when they're buying or selling, the stuff nobody tells first-time buyers, and how she helps people think through building or remodeling versus buying. Whether you're getting ready to make a move or you just like a good career-change story, there's something here for you.

In this episode:

• Why Carrie left teaching for real estate — and what that leap was really like

• How the classroom made her a better agent

• The mistakes buyers and sellers make (and how to avoid them)

• Building/remodeling vs. buying an existing home

• What's happening in our local market right now

Shooting the Sheetrock is honest, no-jargon conversations with the people who build, sell, and finance homes — hosted by Jordan Muse.
