In this episode, we are joined by Mary Fitzgerald Bonnet — real state agent & realtor, vice president of the Oppenheim Group, and a star from the Netflix show “Selling Sunset”. She talks about her career path into Real Estate, her happy marriage with her husband despite their age gap, how to motivate ourselves, what to look forward to on “Selling Sunset”, and some tips for aspiring real estate agents.
[4:45] Real Estate Agent
“I started in radiology… 2008 was when I got my license which is the worst year ever to go into real estate. It’s when the market crashed.”
[8:10] Age Gap
“My first thought was ‘Am I doing something illegal?’… Age really doesn’t matter at the end of the day.”
[12:39] Double Standards
“Why are guys allowed to do that? No one bats an eye when guys get younger girls… If you have the connection and you have two people on the same wavelength, do it.”
[16:14] Making it Work
“We don’t get enough time together, and it’s very frustrating when we struggle from our own jobs and then we don’t get to see our partner.”
[21:11] Showing Up As The Best You
“Especially after my miscarriage… I was so on top of the moon… I need to talk things out, I need to figure out how to look at things from a different perspective.”
[28:33] Selling Sunset: Pros and Cons
“I get new clients, and great clients, from all over the world, because of the show, where people would not normally know who I am.”
[32:50] New Season
“We have two new cast members… Things just started happening, and I was like ‘What’s going on right now? Thought this was just gonna be really fun, and now it’s like totally dramatic’.”
[37:16] Mentor
“She has been incredible in my life. I absolutely adore her. We have a lot of really fun stuff coming up.”
[41:40] Speaking Engagements
“It was the best thing I could have ever done, because it was like face your fears head on. This is something I feel is very important to be able to inspire other people.”
[50:55] Advice
“The best thing you can do, even if it’s lower commission, go to a broker with a mentoring system or become a real estate assistant.”
[53:21] Capitalize on your Life
“That’s kinda cool about life, it’s all like a
learning lesson, and it’s never ending.”
