🎙️ Episode 79: More Than Real Estate Podcast — Motherhood and Messaging

Gigi Fournier was postpartum, barely pulling in leads, and watching her mom carry most of the weight on their team. Eight months later she has three million in pipeline, a million dollar buyer under her belt, a $450K close already paid for the course, and a seller who asked her to come film their listing even though it was listed with another agent.
