Be Your Own Boss in Real Estate with Bee Portillo

Get Creative with Pace Morby

Welcome to a new episode of Get Creative! Tired of the daily grind? We chat with Bee Portillo, a former stay-at-home mom who transitioned to becoming a successful transaction coordinator, all while enjoying the freedom of being her own boss. Bee shares her inspiring story of leaving the stay-at-home life behind to pursue a career in real estate. She'll talk about how she leveraged the supportive SubTo community to find her niche and the power of building connections to land dream opportunities. Packed with valuable insights, this episode also dives into how Be's transferable skills from office assistant to transaction coordinator helped her excel, the importance of organization and meticulous attention to detail in real estate deals, why understanding creative financing is crucial for transaction coordinators, and how to balance family life with the flexibility of a remote work schedule. Highlights: "If you're struggling to make money, you haven't talked to enough people." "There's so much more potential here. And there isn't just one thing you could do, there's several different things that you can work on." "It's not just all about ourselves and take take take. It's about bringing something to the table."
