Welcome to The Rookie Realtor Podcast! I’m Mary-Neel McClintock, a Greenville-based Realtor turned coach, and I’m here to be the best friend in real estate you wish you had. Each week, I’ll bring you encouragement, real talk, and practical strategies to help you build your business from the ground up. From social media growth to picking the right brokerage, I’ll walk you through the wins, mistakes, and lessons I had to learn the hard way - but you don’t have to. Hit play, subscribe, and let’s grow your business together.

This is the probably the question I've been asked the MOST lately: do you join a team or go solo? In this episode, I sit down with Sam Walker, my co-agent and business bestie, to unpack her journey from being on a team for two years to taking the leap into solo agent life (spoiler alert: she's crushing it!).

Sam shares the inside scoop on what she gained from being on a team, the challenges she faced when she went out on her own, and the lessons she learned along the way. If you’re a Rookie Realtor weighing your options before jumping in —this conversation is full of real talk and practical takeaways you don’t want to miss.

Building a personal brand can feel like a full-time job on top of your actual career—but it doesn’t have to. In this episode, I’m sharing how I built my personal brand, the lessons I’ve learned along the way, and how I’ve managed to grow it without burning myself out.

We’ll dive into:

• What a personal brand actually is (and why it matters more than a logo)
• How I built mine and what’s worked best
• The positives and opportunities a strong brand creates
• The challenges and “not-so-pretty” side of it
• My best tips for showing up online consistently without sacrificing your sanity

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the idea of building your brand—or wondered how to do it in a sustainable way—this episode is for you.
