šļø On The Franklin Factor Podcast, host Sarah Savard sits down with her friend Amy Lippincott, who spent 16 years as an elementary school teacher before transitioning into real estate in 2008āstarting part-time through a job-share before eventually going all in.
Amy shares why teachers often thrive in real estate, pointing to their ability to stay calm in chaos, remain patient, follow structured processes, and guide clients step by step. She also talks about how she built her team organically, beginning with her very first hireāa neighbor she met at the bus stopāwho is still with her 17 years later. Her approach centers on hiring from trusted relationships to foster a loyal, family-like culture.
She walks through her career path from Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate to Keller Williams, where she was drawn to stronger technology and compensation, and then to eXp Realty three years ago. At eXp, she highlights benefits like a more favorable cap, stock options, revenue share, and a highly collaborative downline culture.
