All these real estate shows on Netflix don't always paint an accurate picture of what it's like to work in the industry.
But there are two things that they get right:
1. It actually really is tough
2. The work culture can be extremely toxic.
While I've experienced some level of drama, I know that the competitive nature of this industry can bring out the worst in people. It's cutthroat. It's exhausting. It's demoralizing. Thankfully, my wonderful start at T&E taught me that it doesn't have to be that way. 🤎 Fast forward to 2026, I carried my vision of a positive work culture into The Tounsley Group (formerly The Real Estate Collective).
To succeed in this business, it requires teamwork and a good community backing you up. NO gatekeeping, or lowballing, or cattiness. I believe that you have nothing to lose and everything to gain when you uplift others. I'm thankful every day that I get to pave my own path and make a difference, not only with our clients, but with my colleagues too. 💕
