S4Ep7: Stop Chasing Leads: How Community Can Grow Your Real Estate Business with Sarah Binns Crawford
2026/10/15
What if growing your real estate business didn’t mean cold calling, door knocking, or using sales tactics that don’t feel like you? What if the key to building a thriving business was simply creating genuine connections and bringing people together? In this episode of Moms in Real Estate, Kristen Cantrell sits down with Sarah Binns Crawford, a Charlotte-based Realtor and founder of Hello Culture Charlotte, to talk about how authentic relationships, community building, and following your passions can transform both your business and your life. Sarah shares her journey from working in property management for 12 years to taking the leap into real estate full-time in 2015 as a single mom. She explains how her referral-based business grew through genuine relationships, staying connected with people, and serving her community—not through chasing leads or relying on cold outreach. After moving to Arizona, navigating major life changes, and eventually returning to the Carolinas, Sarah found herself craving deeper female friendships and a stronger sense of belonging. That desire led her to create Hello Culture Charlotte, a community where women entrepreneurs can connect, support one another, and build meaningful relationships. Together, Kristen and Sarah explore how creating something you’re passionate about can open doors, spark conversations, and naturally attract the people you want to connect with. In this episode, you’ll learn: - How Sarah made the leap from property management to real estate full-time as a single mom.- Why authentic relationships can become the foundation of a referral-based business.- How to find lead-generation strategies that fit your personality instead of forcing yourself into sales tactics you dislike.- Why community building can create more meaningful conversations than the usual “How’s the market?” question.- How Sarah turned a desire for female connection into Hello Culture Charlotte.- Why you don’t need a perfect plan to start building something meaningful.- How consistency, visibility, and repeated invitations help people feel comfortable joining your community.- Why people may be watching what you’re building long before they decide to get involved. The big takeaway: You don’t have to build your business like everyone else. When you create genuine connections, show up consistently, and build something you truly care about, you give people a reason to know you, trust you, and want to work with you. **Connect with Sarah:**- Instagram: @Sarah.the.Sunny.Realtor(https://www.instagram.com/sarah.the.sunny.realtor/) Become A Hello Culture Chapter Leader: https://thehelloculture.com/ Resources & LinksJoin Our Facebook Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/therealmomsofrealestateFollow along on Instagram @heykristencantrell @momsinrealestateListen on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/moms-in-real-estate/id1434458650Subscribe to our Newsletter: https://heymire.myflodesk.com/momsinrealestateBecome a Sponsor: https://heymire.myflodesk.com/partner
S4Ep6: Build Community, Build Business: Cassie Roberts on Connection, Growth & Real Estate
2026/10/08
What if your best real estate lead generation strategy didn’t feel like lead generation at all? In this episode, Kristen Cantrell sits down with Cassie Roberts, a real estate agent, community builder, and Hello Culture chapter leader in the Denver/Castle Rock area. Cassie shares how nearly a decade in real estate has taught her that the one thing she can always count on is change—and how learning to adapt has helped her build a business that works alongside her life as a mom. But the heart of this conversation is community. Cassie has turned her natural love for bringing people together into a powerful part of her business. From school events and mom friendships to her annual golf tournament and Hello Culture gatherings, she has found ways to build genuine relationships while doing things she actually enjoys. Kristen and Cassie talk about: * Why sphere of influence continues to be Cassie’s biggest source of business* How community-building can become a natural form of lead generation* Finding business-building activities that actually fit your life as a mom* Why you don’t have to cold call or door knock if those strategies aren’t you* How Cassie turned a small golf event into a **seven-year community tradition with 77 attendees*** The importance of sticking with something even when the first few attempts feel like a flop* How getting involved at your kids’ school can create meaningful relationships and business opportunities* Why connecting with agents and entrepreneurs outside your local market can expand the way you think about your business* The power of national communities, collaboration, and knowing you’re not building your business alone* Cassie’s upcoming retreat and why she believes women need spaces for deeper connection This episode is a great reminder that  everything big starts small. You don’t have to build a massive network overnight. Start with what feels natural, bring people together, stay consistent, and let the relationships grow. Because when you build a business around genuine connection, **the business can grow right alongside the community.** Become A Hello Culture Chapter Leader: https://thehelloculture.com/Referral Room: Join The Waitlist: https://heymire.myflodesk.com/thereferralroomwaitlist Resources & LinksJoin Our Facebook Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/therealmomsofrealestateFollow along on Instagram @heykristencantrell @momsinrealestateListen on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/moms-in-real-estate/id1434458650Subscribe to our Newsletter: https://heymire.myflodesk.com/momsinrealestateBecome a Sponsor: https://heymire.myflodesk.com/partner

S3Ep12: Become the Local Authority: Jessie Vukobratovich’s Social Media Blueprint for Realtors
2026/05/07
Jessie Vukobratovich is proof that social media success isn’t about luck, it’s about staying in the game long enough to figure out what actually works. After six years of inconsistency, frustration, and posting content that completely missed the mark, Jessie finally made a shift that changed everything. In this episode, she shares the exact moment she stopped focusing on what she thought people wanted (hint: market stats ????) and started creating hyperlocal, community-driven content her audience couldn’t stop watching. The result? Explosive growth, thousands of new followers in a matter of days, and now a steady stream of inbound leads every single week. But it’s not just about going viral. Jessie breaks down how she turned attention into actual business, using simple but powerful systems like automated messaging, strategic lead capture, and consistent follow-up to convert views into closings. We’re also talking about the real side of growth: the months of posting with zero results, the overwhelm when leads start pouring in, and the investments she made (even when it felt risky) to build a sustainable, scalable business.
