257: How A New Agent Created Success- An Interview With Janette Schafer

Who is Janette Schafer?

Janette is a realtor in the Pittsburgh area and a part of the membership that I run on Monday. She’s been an amazing addition to the membership and is really crushing it out there in the Pittsburgh market. She worked in the banking industry for 22 years, retiring as vice president for a major bank in the Pittsburgh area. She’s been a Realtor for a year and a half, and has just finished her 48th transaction and her year to date is close to 6 million this year—her first full year. She has amazing positivity and is always incredibly encouraging.

“And I’m sitting there—I’m looking at the real estate agency across the street from me, and I’m like, I’m done with banking.”

“And don’t be afraid to talk about money because they know they’re about to buy a house. They’re about to make the biggest purchase of their life. Yeah, so talk to them about the money.”

“I try not to be transactional. I try to be relational.”
