About this episode
Heather Gill discusses the emotional aspects of real estate and how agents can support clients through life transitions.
Are you treating real estate like a purely transactional business? In this episode of Momentum in Real Estate, hosts Cory Wall and Kristin Janes sit down with Heather Gill, a Dallas-Fort Worth realtor, speaker, and author of Journey to Your Sacred Heart . Heather shares her journey from training apartment community staff to diving into real estate investing and sales after realizing the massive wealth-building potential of property ownership.
