Carrie McCormick has been crushing it in the windy city of Chicago for over 20 years selling over $2B of real estate in the City core.  Born and raised in Chicago, some would say her route into residential real estate was kismet.  One fateful afternoon sitting at her desk at eTrade she decided to leave and take a walk.  Her long walk ended as she wandered onto the site of a new building under construction and accidentally met the developer.  The developer was impressed by Carrie's insights and straight forward opinions about his project and soon after he offered her a job.  Carrie quit her corporate job and jumped headfirst into New Development sales and the rest is history!   In this episode she shares her approach “100% Carrie” which is the antithesis of the big team model where the team lead is often out of the picture once the listing is signed.  Carrie walks through the roles of her key team members and explains how she is able to be hands on with every client.  School is in session.

Luxury Style Mastery:  5 Days to ICONIC - Register Here Welcome, fabulous icons, to another empowering episode of Real Estate Icons! Today, we're talking about a game-changing concept that will redefine how you think about your business and yourself. Luxury. What is it? How does it show up in your life, your brand, and your client experience? Spoiler alert: it's not about selling multi-million-dollar homes; it's about creating a feeling so exquisite it becomes unforgettable. I'm Afton, your host, and I'm here to speak directly to the ambitious agent inside you. She's ready to show up bolder, more confident, and unapologetically luxurious. Together, we're unlocking a mindset shift that will elevate your brand and leave your clients raving, bonded by experiences that go far beyond the sale. What You'll Learn in This Episode Luxury isn't about price tags or possessions; it's about the feeling you create. Think intention, care, and excellence in every detail. We'll explore what it means to bring that energy forward in every interaction, regardless of the size of the transaction. And here's the twist—it starts with YOU. We'll also unpack why adopting a “Louis Vuitton state of mind” transforms your business, your confidence, and how others perceive your value. Trust me, love, this one's pure gold. The Reality of Luxury Can we get real for a second? When most people hear “luxury,” they think yachts, champagne bars, and designer bags. Sure, that's a part of it—but it's just the surface. At its core, luxury is about the feeling it evokes. It whispers, “You are worth this moment.” Imagine stepping into Chanel. The lighting caresses every surface. The sales associate treats you as if you're the most important person in the world. That care, that attention to detail, that feeling, is what we're talking about. NOW take that same energy and imagine delivering it to your clients. Whether it's their first condo or their dream estate, luxury is about how you make them feel. Energy, elegance, and excellence—that's what turns a business transaction into a lifelong memory. Key Takeaways You'll Love Luxury whispers, “You are worth this.” Understand that before you can offer it to others, you've got to embody it yourself. It's not just a transaction. Each interaction is an opportunity to create an unforgettable experience. Energy doesn't lie. Walk in with intention, poise, and confidence, and others will see your value. Luxury is personal. It's not tied to a price point. It's in the care, attention, and detail you bring to the table. Treat yourself as a brand. The way you show up for yourself reflects the way the world will show up for you. What's Inside This Episode 00:00 Welcome to luxury Branding 01:43 Redefining Luxury (Hint: It's not just about your budget) 06:07 The Feeling of Luxury 09:25 The Louise Vuitton vs. Target (Change the way you think!) 10:45 Sneak Peek of the Luxury Style Mastery Masterclass 13:30 Why Your Confidence Sets the Stage for Everything It's Time for YOU to Elevate Here's the truth. You don't have to wait to embody luxury. You don't need to hit specific sales goals to start showing up as the radiant, iconic agent you know you are. Luxury begins NOW. Start with your mindset, your presence, and your energy, and watch how the world responds. ✨ Want to take this transformation to the next level? ✨ Join me in the Luxury Style Mastery masterclass, 5 Days to ICONIC. Together, we'll explore the art of showing up as the most powerful version of yourself—from wardrobe choices to mindset shifts to curating your unforgettable personal brand.

Episode Overview: In this episode, John Kitchens is joined by real estate expert and investor Jacob Weaver to unpack what it really takes to break into and thrive in high-end real estate. From creative deal structures to mindset shifts, Jacob shares his journey from a government cubicle to multi-million-dollar listings—and how agents can follow a clear, strategic path to elevate their price point and transform their income, career, and life. Whether you're feeling boxed in by average commissions or just want to stop being replaceable in a changing market, this episode will show you exactly how to reposition yourself for long-term success. Key Topics Covered:   The Shift from Engineer to Entrepreneur How a government cubicle sparked a realization that launched a real estate career. Why your ladder might be against the wrong building—and how to know when it's time to pivot. What hustling $75 in monthly cash flow taught Jacob about wealth-building. Creative Deal Structures that Actually Work The investor skillset that every residential agent must learn. How Jacob structured a $500 lease-option deal that netted $50K—and solved the seller's biggest pain point. Why learning how to structure creative financing opens the door to owning, not just selling. Breaking into the Luxury Market The moment Jacob realized selling one $5M home could replace a year of flipping stress. Why luxury isn't just about price—it's about nuance, skill, and service. How agents can use niche expertise (like new construction) to gain credibility and listings in the high-end space. Mindset Shifts for High-Level Performance The two-part equation: belief + skillset = confidence to play at a higher level. How agents sabotage themselves with limiting beliefs—and what to do instead. Why the “fun” in real estate comes from leveling up and learning new skillsets. Why Luxury Is the Future-Proof Path How the middle of the market is being squeezed—and what's happening with institutional buyers. Why the luxury consumer still wants a pro—and will pay a premium for personalized expertise. Why your future in real estate may depend on the niche you pick today. Actionable Takeaways: Learn creative finance strategies to unlock all types of deals—not just the easy ones. Study market nuances by price band, not just average trends—luxury is hyper-local. Find your niche in the high-end market—whether it's new construction, relocation, or investment property matchmaking. Build belief by building skill: develop vocabulary, negotiation techniques, and market insights. Start with momentum: one intentional action a day can transform your career in 30 days.

What does it take to build a thriving real estate business with family?

Tari, a seasoned real estate professional, started in the industry in 2005 after a career in banking, driven by a passion for helping people. She later founded Premier Homes Realty alongside her husband, Mike, creating a brokerage built on agent empowerment, transparency, and exceptional service.

A licensed real estate agent since 2005, (20 years) Tari is a broker associate and has a degree in Paralegal Studies, Broker Price Opinion, a Short Sale and Foreclosure Resource designations.
