She and her team at The B Group love building a genuine rapport with their clients and helping them find the perfect home for their families. Finding Individuals who Align with Your Business Brittiny discusses what made her realize that to scale her business that she not only needed to outsource the admin side, but she also needed to build her team of real estate agents. She describes the process of letting go and how the lessons she learned during the first part of the journey enabled her to understand the importance of surrounding herself with people who have the same goals. We discuss how we sometimes advance through our reverses and why reflecting on what didn't work out as planned helps you build a picture of how you really want your business to be. As Brittiny advises in her coaching, when you have a picture in your mind of what you want your ideal company to look like, it's much simpler to follow the path that leads you there. Having a big team made Brittiny realize that what she valued above anything was leading a small, tight-knit team of real estate agents who truly buy into the mission and vision behind The B Group.

About Brittiny Howard: I began selling homes at the ripe old age of twelve. I helped my mom sell our home to my best friend's family. My dad and granddad built a roofing and brick masonry business in my hometown of Memphis. I visited sites with my dad and learned about construction. I remember being on job sites as a little girl and watching the building of homes. I fell in love with the process of watching something go from a simple patch of land into a home for a family. That awe-struck little girl became a single mom in her early 20s. I knew that I needed to be better, greater, faster to provide a good life for my little boy. I can remember counting nickels in a drive-through and thinking, “this struggle can't be all there is to life.” I knew there had to be more. During this time of my life, I met my husband. He was a single dad of two great kids and lived about an hour away in Baton Rouge. The stars aligned. I'd had a job interview there and was offered an amazing job. After assuring my now-husband that I wasn't a stalker (insert facepalm), my son and I moved to the Baton Rouge area. Less than two years later, my husband proposed, and we began wedding planning. Our planning and wedding were bittersweet due to my dad's failing health and being placed on hospice care. He died a month and four days after our wedding on Christmas Eve. I miss him every day. I became a stay-at-home mom and added one more to our Brady bunch. As the kids grew and began activities, we decided that I needed to bring in an extra income. I became a real estate agent to take some of the pressure off of my husband. I always liked homes and helping people. I also wanted to take a yearly vacation with my family that didn't take away from our household expenses. But it soon became more than just a second income for me. Being a real estate agent reminded me of the passion I once had as a little girl. I love helping people. My goal became to help as many people as I could enjoy the wealth, stability, and pride of owning their own homes. One of my favorite things is telling my sellers how much equity they've gained in their first homes. In my first nine months, I sold 19 homes; the following year, I set an ambitious goal of one closing a week and sold 52 homes. What I thought would be a fun way to get back to my roots and take a family vacation has become the career of my dreams. I've traveled and spoken internationally. I've won awards. I've lived my dream and my passion. Each time I enter a home, I can imagine the workers that built the houses. It reminds me of my childhood, tagging along with my dad and visiting work sites. In an odd way, real estate has allowed me to keep my connection with my dad. He's gone but not forgotten. Selling a home is hard. There are so many emotions involved with it. There are so many decisions to be made. Through our B Guided Home process, we take the fear out of your minds, relax and be at ease. We have your back. During our first consultation, we will help you with a pros and cons list. This list will help us decide if you should buy, renovate or build. Sometimes the home you're in is the perfect home for you. We have an extensive list of vetted professionals that can help turn your home into what you've been wanting.

Some classic Brittiny Quotes ... “I have a big dick and I’m not afraid to say things” “I don’t back down if I believe something is right.” “Get your ass up and go to work.” Show notes ... In this fifth episode of Rags to Riches podcast, Baton Rouge real estate agent Brittiny Howard shares with us her brazen but captivating story. Growing up, she had a good support network, with her dad working in a roofing and brick masonry business. Her first stint at real estate was when she helped her mom sell their home at 12 years old to her best friend's family. Even though she had her first child at the age of 20 and raised him as a single mother, she refused to let it stop her from graduating at the University of Vanderbilt on time. However, difficult times came when she was barely making enough money and even had to count nickels in order to buy their food. Despite all of this, her little boy was her biggest motivation to push and try harder. This iron-willed and decisive mother was able to close 52 deals in her first year as a real estate agent. But by the end of 2017, merely four days after she got fired by her brokerage, her home and neighborhood got flooded. The government didn’t help them and her insurance failed to reimburse everything she spent, wiping out all of her savings. Devastated as she was, her family and personality remain as her driving force to “get her ass up” and go to work—with no more excuses. Brittiny simply believed that losing and failing is not an option. Tune in as she mentions the amazing people who’ve become part of her real estate journey, how she started focusing on building relationships with her potential clients, and her special way of giving back to the less fortunate in her community.
