2025's BEST CONFERENCE FOR WOMEN IN REAL ESTATE

Savannah, GA • April 11-14, 2025

Savannah, GA

April 11-14, 2025

REWRITING her-story

WE'RE DONE FOLLOWING THE RULES, SO WE'RE REWRITING THEM

So We're Flipping The Script

...AND TRADING THE SAME TIRED SPEAKERS ON ALL THE OTHER STAGES FOR:

10 Days of Pain. 36 Touch Plan. Door Knocking. Shopping Carts. Answering Your Phone 24/7. Sponsoring Golf Tournaments. Negotiating Deals On Sundays. Throwing In Your Commission To Get A Deal Done.

What Do all of these have in common?

All things that sound absolutely freaking awful, but too many of us do because someone who came before us told us we should. And that was ‘the way’ to become successful.

WELL, WE'RE DONE LISTENING TO MEN IN PLEATED PANTS WHO'VE BEEN IN THE BUSINESS 30 YEARS.

(YOU KNOW, THE ONES WHO HAVE NEVER HAD TO EXPERTLY NAVIGATE A SCHOOL DROPOFF LINE WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY WRITING A COUNTEROFFER.)

For too long we’ve been taking advice from people who don’t understand where are are at, let alone where we want to go.

Sarah Simmons

Realtor

Sarah Simmons

Born and raised in New Orleans, Sarah developed a love for vibrant culture, food, and people before moving to Roswell, GA, at 16—a place she now proudly calls home. Her path to real estate was always calling, but it took becoming a mom of three little ones to finally push her to make the leap. Leaving behind a career in medical sales, she wanted the freedom to be present for her family while building a business fueled by relationships and results. When she’s not working, she’s spending time with her husband, Mark—her biggest cheerleader—and their three kids, Molly Kate, Sam, and Vinny, who each bring their own unique energy to the family. She’s also a proud dog mom to an adorable puppy, Louis. Whether helping a family find their dream home or creating a marketing plan to maximize a sale, her biggest compliment is a referral—proof that her clients know they’re in good hands.

There's A Million Reasons not to go

  • You’re already way out of balance and operating beyond max capacity. 
  • You might have a closing. (Guess what?! There’s someone in that room with TEN that week, making it happen!)
  • Your to do list is a mile long ,and the last thing you need is 27 new ideas to execute. (How would it feel to come back with 3 specific tasks that will actually move the revenue needle in your business)
  • Besides, there’s no one to watch your business while you’re gone. (Major red flag right here and the first sign you own a JOB not a business.)
  • Not to mention the kids…who has time for this stuff?(Call in those favors sister!)


HERE’S THE TRUTH: Nothing Changes If Nothing Changes

Sure. You can let the excuses pile up and tell you not to go. 

Or… you can decide your next chapter starts here. And commit to coming alongside us to improve your business and take back control of your life!
