In this inspiring episode, host Mike Litzner sits down with Christine Dato, a top agent at Coldwell Banker American Homes in Hicksville, to discuss her unique path in real estate—starting not once, but twice. Christine shares the challenges she faced as a young agent, why she stepped away from the industry, and what ultimately brought her back with renewed confidence and purpose.

From navigating today’s fast-paced market to building trust with clients and giving back to her Long Island community, Christine opens up about the habits, mindset, and mentorship that helped shape her success.

Stay tuned as we cover her favorite business tools, buyer/seller seminars, family motivation, and her role in local charitable work like Feed Long Island—plus a fun Drop the Mic question to wrap it all up.
