In this episode, Alyssa Stalker makes a bold claim: 2025 isn’t just a decent time to be a new agent, it might be the best time we’ve seen in years. She breaks down why the current real estate landscape is wide open for fresh voices and how new and aspiring agents can build modern, magnetic businesses from day one. From major industry shifts to the rise of creator-led marketing and easy-to-access tech, Alyssa shares what sets this moment apart. She also unpacks the biggest myths keeping people stuck, what seasoned agents secretly envy about new ones, and exactly where to begin if you're just starting out.
