Finding great success in solving systemic business challenges, Ashley’s entrepreneurial spirit kicked in and she began her own niche consulting company - converting crippling problems into seamless solutions for brokerages across the US. Ashley personally tackled difficult issues like accounting fraud, major attrition, broken and outdated technology, and lack of functional operational systems. She built complex calculators and spreadsheets to help brokerages run more efficiently. She automated countless reports to aid in agent and brokerage efficiency. She worked with software developers to create an AI software platform which she personally soldto more than 150 brokers.


Ashley has saved brokerages millions of dollars in the course of her career by implementing her innovative ideas and bold strategies, backed by extensive business experience and depth of financial knowledge.

Darlene Kincaid, Director of Operations on the Renee White Team in Walnut Creek, CA, manages a rockstar team that did 199 transactions in 2022. Darlene discusses how they leverage their admin team to support their sales team to produce at the highest level while also protecting the brand. This podcast is chock-full of nuggets from running a team to attracting, onboarding, taking care of, and retaining buyers agents.

Meet Darlene Kincaid  

Darlene Kincaid has been in the real estate industry since 2004. She started off as an independent agent and then joined a top team as a buyers agent. In 2008, she combined her love of real estate and operations and began working with multiple agents as an independent admin and transaction coordinator. This helped them gain leverage in their businesses. In 2010, she joined forces with Renée White as her first assistant. Together, Renée and Darlene have grown the Renée White Team from a team of 2 to a team of 17, producing over 200 million in volume per year. Darlene also grew her role from Assistant to Director of Operations. As DOO, she leads an operations team of 8 and continues to be Renée’s right hand in the growth of the business.

Darlene has always been a go-getter. Prior to real estate, Darlene spent around 15 years working as an admin in various roles in both corporate and start-up environments. Her roles were typically assisting the top leader of a department or company. This range of experience has given Darlene the perspective of what business owners need in the way of administrative leverage and how assistants can deliver it at a high level.

Darlene is passionate about consulting and mentoring admins and agents in leveraging effective systems that bring freedom to any role. She thrives in guiding them toward achieving their goals and realizing their dreams. She's an avid learner. She uses the models and systems she’s learned throughout her career as a blueprint for her success.

Ep. 60 | Career Tip: How to build a partnership with your boss with Crystal Shores

Ep. 60 | Career Tip: How to build a partnership with your boss with Crystal Shores

Crystal Shores and her boss have the kind of tight, complementary relationship that most people dream of having. Today we’ll dive into how their dynamic works, and what makes it special as we try to identify some tips and clues you can use when searching for your Admin Partner or Dream Boss.  

I coach business owners to develop their conscious leadership skills and executive presence so that they can build businesses that thrive even when they step away.   

Learn more here: https://www.hire-lab.com/leadership-executive-coaching 

Meet Crystal Shores: After working in sales and marketing for 12 years, Crystal made the transition to real estate in 2014 and hasn’t looked back since. Her knowledge and passion to help others led her to work as a real estate broker both independently and on a team. She worked hard to ensure that all her clients were educated and guided through the home buying and selling process.  

That hard work continued as she joined Alignmint in 2018 in an administrative capacity. Crystal quickly became a resource for clients, agents, and other vendors and moved through the ranks to become the team's Director of Operations. Originally from Vermont, Crystal currently lives in Mebane with her husband George, child Oak and 2 dogs, Munchkin & Fozzie. The whole family loves to watch movies and enjoy traveling as often as they can.

Ep 57 I Real Estate Coaching: Help Your Admin Reach for the Stars

Ep 57 I Real Estate Coaching: Help Your Admin Reach for the Stars

In this interview, we explore the value and power of coaching from the admin perspective. When Eric Wright made the transition from direct sales into real estate operations she knew that she needed training, coaching, and support to be successful in her role. Fast forward seven years and she is running the show for her top producing real estate team.   

Hurry! Sign up for Be You. Doors open Feb 21st - 27th. https://www.iloveitwhen.org/beyoutheinnercircle 

Erica Wright is a Loan Signing Agent and owner of Notary in a Dash. She started her career in Miami doing door-to-door sales selling office supplies and was eventually offered the opportunity to expand with the company overseas to London, England. She spent eight years working in England recruiting sales managers and consulting over 100 offices for the CRM  software she helped build out with IT developers in Orange County, California.  

After moving back to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania she began working with a Real Estate team in Exton, PA. During this time, she got her real estate license and helped grow the husband-and-wife team triple their earnings within four years. 

Yearning for something more and being a serial entrepreneur, she decided she needed to build a business of her own, so she decided to become a notary public. After reading, listening to multiple podcasts, and getting additional training, she became a certified loan signing agent. This allowed her to build a lucrative personal business using just a notary commission! Her success with her business allowed her to purchase her first home, right in Chester Springs, PA.

Ep 48 | Work Less, Make More And Stop Feeling Guilty About It with Steven Ross

In this week's episode of Offer Accepted, Vanessa and Steven talk about doing the HARD things - i.e. the things that separate high achievers from the "average Joe." We talk about doorknocking, yes, but more as a metaphor for doing that hard, boring thing that makes everything else possible.

You'll learn about:

* Creating successful habits

* Setting boundaries and give you more freedom and flexibility

* Deciding when you have "enough" and getting off the hamster wheel

* Honoring your commitments to others and yourself.

You'll also learn about Steven's new book, "Doors Open When You Knock." It’s a fantastic read and we highly recommend it.

Ep 45 | Core Values Come First & Leadership Wisdom with John Turner

Ep 45 | Core Values Come First & Leadership Wisdom with John Turner

“For me, it’s not the challenge of leading a team. It’s the challenge of leading 13 individuals.” 

That’s the line that got my attention and why I’m sharing this interview with you today.

John Turner was a Sales Manager in the insurance industry for forty years. Now semi-retired, he is the productivity coach for Team Sweasey in San Luis Obispo. John leads from the heart and from a set of core values that permeate everything that Team Sweasey does.

When John joined Team Sweasey, he was tasked with improving the climate and culture. It wasn’t always easy, and some tough decisions had to be made, but today, Team Sweasey is a shining example of what’s possible when your core values are at the center of everything you do.

In this interview, John and I talk about positional vs. inspirational leadership (hint - you don’t have positional leadership with sales agents, so you’d better figure out how to be inspirational!) We also talk about what it really takes to lead individuals and the traits and skills all great sales managers must possess.

I really enjoyed this interview, and I think you will too. Let’s dive in!

Quick note: the book John mentions around minute 4 is Traction by Gino Wickman.

Ep 44 | 20 Tips For Improving Your Communication Skills with Monique Helstrom

“I believe communication is one of THE biggest factors in your success or failure in life. We have become a society where we think feedback is bad.  Somehow we’ve equated helping someone to be a better version of themselves to it being an automatic criticism of who they are now.” says consultant and public speaker, Monique Helstrom.

In this episode, we talk about Monique’s new online course called Introduction to Effective Communication e-Course which offers 20 tips for becoming a better communicator.

We cover:

  • Accountability vs responsibility
  • Communication is not conflict
  • Rules for communicating in the workplace
  • How to provide feedback
  • Identifying your communication strengths and weaknesses
  • Subject line etiquette

And much more!

Ep 39 | Design Your Life & Business Plan for 2021 with Adam Roach

Despite the fact that this felt like both the shortest and longest year of our lives, 2021 is just around the corner. And, ready or not, it's time to start thinking about our vision, goals, and strategy for the coming New Year. 

If you’re a real estate agent or Director of Operations, it's likely that you're accustomed to sitting down and making a plan for your business. But do you ever sit down and make a plan for your life? 

Believe it or not, having a "life plan" is crucial to the success of your business. Knowing exactly why (and what) you want to achieve is the first, most important step in creating a business plan that you will actually execute. 

My guest on this episode of Offer Accepted is Adam Roach. Adam is an entrepreneur, agent recruiter, and business coach. He recently led a "Business and Life Planning" workshop, and he provided his participants with an incredible worksheet to help them through their 2021 planning process. I'm going to share that worksheet with you.

Ep 38 | Shake off Your Hiring Misconceptions with Connie Tholen

Ep 38 | Shake off Your Hiring Misconceptions with Connie Tholen

Hiring is hard. I get it - no one wants to make a mistake! But this fear of failure can lead employers to come up with "truths" about who to hire, based on some "misstep" they heard about or experienced in the past. 

This is dangerous. Why? Because it causes you to cast away a whole group of people, based on one bad experience! Millennials, for example, get a bad rap. But I place smart, motivated millennials every single day. They are NOT all lazy and entitled. 

This podcast is all about breaking down misconceptions in hiring. 

Connie Tholen spent over 30 years in the banking industry before joining her real estate team. She is 60 years old, and spent most of her career in corporate America. Now she's the Director of Operations for a very successful real estate team in Nevada. 

I've met my fair share of hiring managers who would wrongly shy away from hiring someone like Connie. They would be concerned about her technology skills, and her ability to keep up with the pace.  Some employers would even dismiss her because they would fear that she wouldn't be flexible enough to handle the diverse tasks of a small real estate office! 

As you’ll hear in this interview, Connie is none of those things.

I’m highlighting Connie because I want to shine a light on the many wonderful benefits of hiring older employees. I hope that you enjoy this episode of Offer Accepted. 

About Connie

I was born and raised in the small community of Elko in Northern Nevada. My husband, Greg, and I still live in the area; but we now live about 17 miles out of Elko in the small country community of Spring Creek. We get all 4 seasons but the winter seems to last the longest – lots of cold and snow. It’s beautiful here – we love it. Mountains and valleys with cattle ranches, sheep ranches, mule deer, and other critters.

After graduating from a community college in Reno, I went to work at Wells Fargo Bank as a drive-up teller. I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do from there. Well, 25 years later I left Wells Fargo. During the 25 years, I held many positions including Assistant Branch Manager, Branch Manager, and compliance officer. 

I joined the Vicky Blair group five years ago. Since then, our team has grown exponentially! In addition to being one of the Contract Managers, I also serve as the Office Manager. The assistants report to me and I am tasked with ensuring they are trained and successful. We are truly a team, and I am proud that everyone works so hard for the success of Vicky’s business.

Ep 37 | Oh, the Places You'll Go! From Admin to Business Owner With Margaret "Mo" Smith

Ep 37 | Oh, the Places You'll Go! From Admin to Business Owner With Margaret "Mo" Smith

Q: What's the most incredible thing about working as a real estate admin?
A: There are countless directions that you can take your career. 

It's true! As you grow, learn and achieve, you can use your skills to build the life that you've always dreamed of. Don't believe me? Just ask Mo. 

Margaret Smith (aka. “Mo”) is a legend in the real estate admin community. Now, she is fulfilling her dream of becoming a coach, consultant and mentor to admin professionals in real estate and beyond. Mo was my very first guest on the podcast almost two years ago, and so much has changed since then!

We’re going to talk about Mo's journey from real estate assistant, to Director of Operations, to starting her own company. I can’t wait to share her story with you!

About Mo

Mo is on a mission to revolutionize the operations world in the Real Estate Industry.

Born and raised in Seattle, WA, she has a passion for seeking truth and asking the hard questions. Mo's parents provided an environment where she and her brothers were truly given permission to just be themselves. She had no idea of the privilege she was given.

Prior to Real Estate, Mo was the Docent Program Coordinator at the Seattle Art Museum for 5 years and Assistant Volleyball Coach for Northwest University in Kirkland. She has her Masters in Social Work with a focus on administration, and is an adamant believer in human potential.

Mo was the Director of Operations for Pickett Street Properties out of Bothell, WA from 2012-2020. Her job involved recruiting, screening, hiring, marketing/PR, client events, team events, culture, podcast production and overall strategic thinking with the owner, Jesse D. Moore.

Mo is extremely passionate about raising the standards for Admins across industries and professions. She is an advocate, artist, cheerleader, and strategic thinker - an Admin who wants to help bust open the industry, and assist in the growth of your business and personal life.

Ep 36 | Creating a Rock Solid Relationship Between Agent & Admin with Tiffany Lawson

Ep 36 | Creating a Rock Solid Relationship Between Agent & Admin with Tiffany Lawson

When it comes to residential real estate, Tiffany Lawson has seen it all. Not only has she worked as an admin, an agent and a trainer, but she has an incredibly unique perspective - one that I can't wait to share with you!

If you've listened to the podcast before, then you'll have heard me say that one person - the right person - can make all the difference. In fact, hiring the right admin can give you the tools you need to double your business in less than two years. This week, we're tackling what it takes to truly be successful in real estate, and how to hire and train an admin who can transform your business. 

About Tiffany

Tiffany Lawson is a Florida native that has been working her way up the Real Estate ladder since 2014. She began her career as an assistant to the director of operations for a residential and commercial real estate company. That led her to develop a passion for training and coaching administrative admins - after all, she has always set out to break the glass ceiling in all of her roles. Tiffany currently works in a residential sales role, so she has essentially sat in all of the real estate seats.

Tiffany went to Florida State University, and has an awesome son who is her whole world. She is incredibly excited for what lies ahead, in both her personal and professional life and for her family. In her free time, she loves to spend time with friends and family, and when flying solo she enjoys exploring new places and learning about things that take her out of her comfort zone.

Ep. 35 | Day in the Life: Director of Marketing & Operations with Jessica Yeager

Ep. 35 | Day in the Life: Director of Marketing & Operations with Jessica Yeager

I knew the moment I met Jessica that I needed to have her on the podcast. Her unstoppable attitude and seemingly endless drive is inspiring, and her journey is relatable to anyone working in real estate. As a Marketing Director and Operations Director for a very large and busy team (when I say busy, I mean they did over 100 transactions in July of 2020!), she has insights that can help any admin grow to be more successful in their role. She also provides some helpful information on what it is that a Marketing/Operations Director actually does, and how their role might fit into the framework of a multifaceted real estate team. 

In her arguably limited amount of free time, Jessica also created a clever program to help real estate professionals talk about real estate on social media... without annoying their friends and family. We'll discuss this, how her team is tackling COVID, the trust she maintains with her boss and more. 

About Jessica

Jes Yeager comes from an entrepreneurial background, having owned a photography studio in Ferndale, Detroit & Clawson from 2003-2013. She has been working in Real Estate for the past 8 years. She has a love of all things Real Estate Marketing especially social media, graphic design, branding and 36+ Touch Plans. She brings a unique and unexpected perspective to marketing real estate agents and teams. Jes co-manages a Facebook group for real estate admin, with 1700+ members, called Admin Success Principles. For the past 2 years, she teaches various marketing topics within that group monthly. Jes loves nonsense and doggos.

Ep 33 | Build a Business and Life That You Love - Michelle Spalding

Have you ever had a big idea that someone told you was impossible? Are you looking for freedom and flexibility - both in your career and your life? Maybe you're even considering becoming an entrepreneur, or you recently made the leap to running your own business or team? If any of these sound like you, then this episode of Offer Accepted is right up your alley. 

My guest this week is Michelle Spalding - she's a bit of a legend in the TC world. We aren't, however, discussing transaction coordination in this episode; we're taking a deep dive into what it means to be a truly successful entrepreneur. Michelle's unique insights, positive outlook and ability to overcome challenges will speak to anyone looking to break new ground and follow their dreams. 

Whether you're thinking about venturing out on your own or you already own a business, you’ll appreciate hearing Michelle’s take on defining success on your own terms.

About Michelle Spalding

In 2005 Michelle launched TMC to help the Realtors she had been working with as a closing agent in a law firm in Central Florida. She knew that most needed help, but few could afford nor wanted the responsibility of a full-time assistant. Over the years her team has grown, and so has her passion for helping others succeed. In 2015, Michelle published her long-awaited book, The Road from Contract to Close: How to Successfully (and Easily) Manage the Details without Losing Your Mind – Or Your Clients!.

In addition to supporting her team at TMC, Michelle provides private consulting and coaching services to select clients. She is often asked to speak at conferences, real estate training events, seminars, as well as webinars and teleconferences, about her unique role in growing the Transaction Coordinator Industry from roots. And in 2017, she launched the Transaction Coordinator Academy to provide training and support to transaction coordinators nationwide.

Ep 29 | Clint Muhlenberg | Leading the Way with Virtual Assistants

Ep 29 | Clint Muhlenberg | Leading the Way with Virtual Assistants

With the employment landscape changing and many companies working entirely from home, COVID has brought the need for (and the benefits of) virtual assistants to the forefront of our minds. I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to catch up with Clint Muhlenberg and discuss the logistics behind working with a virtual assistant, and, more specifically, what it’s like to work with a virtual assistant from the Philippines. 

Whether you’re considering hiring a virtual assistant or you’re interested in learning about what a virtual assistant does, this episode is packed with useful information. 

Clint runs a company called Level. They provide top-notch virtual assistants from the Philippines to real estate agents and companies across the United States. He has a massive team, and Clint and I share similar philosophies regarding hiring, training and managing remote employees. I can’t think of anyone that would be better suited to discuss this topic. Start listening now to join the discussion! 


About Clint

Clint Muhlenberg’s passion for real estate is rivaled only by his love for helping agents, teams, and admin in the industry succeed. An accomplished operations leader and graduate of Texas A&M University, Clint has years of experience working with esteemed real estate companies, including one of the top ten Keller Williams Realty teams worldwide. A self-proclaimed lover of chaos, he thrives under high-pressure work situations that would make others question their sanity.

While consulting throughout the industry, Clint had a lingering thought: how can leverage be easier? Thus Level was born, a Virtual Assistant company specializing in the real estate industry. Under Clint’s guidance, Level has boosted productivity for real estate businesses by providing outsourced employees in administrative, operations, and marketing roles, among others. His objective is to provide a sense of ease for his clients and prevent them from, in his professional opinion, “working too damn much.”

Outside of work, Clint enjoys giving back to his community by mentoring middle and high school students as well as making people laugh, though he still needs work in this area.

Ep 26 | Building Lasting Partnerships with Amanda Doll

Okay, I know I don't normally post two podcasts in one week, but I couldn't help myself - this too great not to immediately share. Do you aspire to become 50% of a dynamic Visionary/Implementor partnership? Do you want to learn how to attract and lead a superstar director of operations? Or, are you a real estate administrator who wants to know what might be possible if you found the right team leaders? Either way, this podcast is for you. Grab a cup of coffee and listen as Amanda Doll shares her inspiring story and gives you an inside look into what a truly excellent Visionary/Implementor partnership is really like. 

Amanda Doll is the VP of Operations and Growth for Team Borham at Keller Williams Realty. She was first introduced to real estate in 2015 with a background in hospitality and hotel management of over 14 years. Shortly after joining Team Owner, Jeff Borham, Amanda became licensed in the state of Florida and over the last 5 years has played a leading role in taking Team Borham from $8M to $68M and 2 team members to over 16 team members (and counting), including a 5 person operations staff. In addition to her role with the team, Amanda also coaches Mega agents and operations admin within the Keller Williams family, teaches Keller Williams University courses across the county, and runs an admin/ops master that currently travels to 5 market centers within the greater Tampa Bay Area.

In 2020, Amanda joined the National Association of Real Estate Support Professionals and holds a Director seat on the Board of Directors, a community she advocates for and is dedicated to elevating through masterminding,  speaking on stage, and being interviewed on panels, webinars and podcasts about failing forward, her journey in leadership growth and leading by example. Her passion for succeeding through others has been the driving force of her success in real estate and it's what motivates her to help people become the best version of themselves.

When she’s not in the office, Amanda enjoys traveling to new exotic places, relaxing on the beautiful beaches of Florida and cheering on her home state's college football team, The University of Alabama.
