Four agents. All new to real estate. All building momentum fast, with the right support behind them.
When you’re choosing a real estate brand, it’s not just about commission splits or tech stacks (though we’ve got both covered). It’s about how supported you feel and how confident you are to grow.
Whether you’re just getting started or ready to scale, the right environment can completely change the way you show up every day.
Four agents from different industries share why they chose Freedom to launch their real estate careers and what it’s really been like so far.
Danielle: A Better Way to Start Strong
Danielle Peterson came into real estate ready to hit the ground running, but doing it all on her own left her feeling stretched thin.
At Freedom, she found what she didn’t even know she was missing: support that’s real, not just lip service. She now has the space to focus on what she’s best at, and what clients value most.
“I was exhausted. I was burnt out. [But] I now just lean into what I do best… I love that I’ve got the support around me, and I can now be the agent that I know I can be.”
Danielle’s journey shows that even if you’re new, you don’t have to feel like you’re starting from scratch or doing it all alone.
Katie: Backed, Not Boxed In
Katie Higgs didn’t come from another real estate agency; she came in fresh, with drive and ambition, looking for the right platform to help her grow. What she found was a team that backed her, not boxed her in.
“It’s just reignited that love of real estate… I finally feel like I’ve got a solid team behind me.”
With Freedom’s systems, culture and ongoing support, Katie was able to gain momentum fast without sacrificing her independence or confidence.
Her experience proves that when you start with the right foundation, you don’t have to wait years to feel like a real agent.
Cornelius: Turning Experience into Impact
Cornelius brought over 20 years of experience in marketing and operations into his first real estate role. What drew him to Freedom was the professional environment and the sense of genuine community.
“We are a community that supports each other and helps each other grow.”
He wasn’t just looking to try real estate. He was looking to build something. Freedom gave him the tools, structure and people to start making an impact right away.
Anurag: Starting From Zero—With the Right People Around You
Anurag entered the industry with no listings, no leads and no sales but with clear values and a long-term mindset. What stood out immediately was Freedom’s culture.
“What I loved the most is the culture—everyone’s honest, supportive and genuinely wants to help each other grow.”
That kind of environment helped him build confidence quickly and start growing a business grounded in collaboration, not competition.
What They All Have in Common
Each of these agents started real estate from square one. But they didn’t stay there for long.
Why?
Because they chose a business that gave them:
Support that’s real, not just promised
Systems that simplify, not complicate
A culture that celebrates growth without ego
Whether you’re just entering the industry or stepping into your next chapter, the environment you choose can accelerate everything or slow it down.
At Freedom, we don’t try to change who you are. We just give you what you need to become the version of yourself your clients, and your career, deserve.
