Host Amanda Divito Parle sits down with longtime friend, Compass Real Estate advisor, and master prospector Kelly Moye for a candid, grounded conversation about discipline, longevity, relationships, and what it truly takes to build a sustainable career in real estate.

Raised by a single mother in the real estate business, Kelly learned early that success comes from consistency, connection, and showing up—every single day. From answering business phone calls at age seven to prospecting daily for decades, Kelly shares how her deep commitment to relationships, self-sufficiency, and work ethic shaped a career that has spanned market cycles, brokerages, and personal reinvention.

Together, Amanda and Kelly explore why real estate is less a job and more a lifestyle—and why there is no tenure in the business. They unpack the discipline behind daily prospecting, the myth that social media replaces real relationships, and the emotional responsibility agents carry while guiding clients through life’s biggest transitions. The conversation also touches on investing early, preventing burnout, mentoring agents, and finding variety and fulfillment without abandoning the career that provides stability and meaning. Thoughtful, honest, and refreshingly practical, this episode is a masterclass in playing the long game—with heart. 🏡✨
