Inside KW Core: How These 3 a Are Redefining Real Estate Leadership #23
In Episode 23 of The Success Behind The Numbers, I’m joined by Julia Presta, Lauren Balbuena, and Erica Longueira—three powerhouse women who are leading with passion and purpose and are shaping the energy inside KW Core. 🎙️✨
From early struggles to leading with heart in a high-stakes market, their stories are proof that the future of real estate is female, fearless, and focused.
We talk about breaking barriers, leading through culture, and how mentorship—especially among women in real estate—is the blueprint for generational impact. We also unpack how they’re creating space for others to grow, the hard lessons they’ve learned, and what it actually takes to lead with integrity in real estate today.
This one’s for every agent who knows success isn’t just about numbers—it’s about the people you bring with you.
