What if the secret to long-term success in real estate isn’t chasing the deal… but doing the right thing—even when it costs you?

In this episode, Renee sits down with May Davidson of RE/MAX First 20-year industry veteran, relationship-first operator, and someone who has built her business on integrity, grit, and real human connection.

From walking away from a corporate career to navigating the unpredictable world of 100% commission, May shares the raw truth about what it actually takes to last in this business.

They dive into:

• The reality of inconsistent income (and how to survive it)
• Why doing the right thing always pays off—even when it hurts in the moment
• The hidden cost of chasing too many leads and neglecting your database
• Team vs. solo agent: when each path makes sense (and when it doesn’t)
• The power of simple connection—why a quick text can grow your entire business
• Serving first-time buyers and downsizers with real empathy and leadership

This isn’t about flashy tactics or quick wins.

It’s about building a business that lasts.

A business rooted in trust, consistency, and showing up when it matters most.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, stretched thin, or questioned your path in this industry… this conversation will hit home.
