We had the good fortune of connecting with LaShonda Jennings and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi LaShonda, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
I wanted financial and time freedom from the corporate world. Initially I didn’t know where to begin my journey but once I started researching and learning about the real estate world of buying/selling real estate, I knew this was what I was meant to do. I thought about all the events, important moments in time I was missing out on with my children and knew I had to do something different.
What should our readers know about your business?
The Empire Realty Group is a premier real estate brokerage firm founded by an African American woman in Texas. Our mission is to provide unparalleled real estate services through a team of seasoned professionals equipped with ever evolving technology tools. I’m excited to build a firm that every agent or employee will be proud to be apart of because the culture will be unmatched with team support, broker support and a every agent will be successful attitude. I made it this far in the real estate industry by staying abreast of important market and policy changes, expanding my knowledge about the industry & being available & trustworthy; providing every client with a white glove experience in the journey to obtain real estate and begin their own Empire. None of this was or is easy, you must have tough skin and grit to make it in this real estate industry because not many will hold your hand and show you the ropes, and if they do it will not be for FREE. over the past years in this industry I’ve learned to treat others the way I’d like to be treated, every client interaction is different from the last and to never stop learning. I want people to know that I truly care and want to help everyone I can while I’m here on this earth & to never give up on your dreams & goals because a delay is not a denial, KEEP GOING!
Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
I’m taking bestie to brunch, a movie, listen to some music and one of the immersive gaming spots in the DFW area so we can burn off some calories after the hearty brunch. We would of course go shopping and then relax with some facials and body massages. I love downtown Fort Worth so we would for sure check out a comedy club & the Jubilee theater.
Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
My husband, my peers who encourage and support me, my coach Janell Compton and those who weren’t so helpful and forced me to figure it out on my own, that made me more resilient than ever!
