About this listen

Most agents walk into real estate thinking it’s quick money, flexible hours, and fast success… and then reality hits.

In this episode, Garrett Pedlar and Nada Kovinich break down what the first 5 years actually look like—especially in a small-town market.

They get honest about the early struggles: the silence, the inconsistency, the self-doubt, and the pressure of watching others succeed while you’re still trying to figure it out.

They also unpack:

  • The biggest gap between expectations vs reality
  • The common patterns they see in agents who quit vs those who make it
  • The ego battle of being new and needing to show up confidently
  • What actually gets you through those early years (hint: it’s not motivation)
  • Why most agents quit right before it starts working

This is real advice—no fluff, no sugarcoating. Just the truth about what it takes to build a lasting real estate career in a small town.

If you’re in your first few years (or thinking about getting in), this is the episode you need to hear.
