Today we’d like to introduce you to Nakia Evans.
Hi Nakia, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
I’m a 47-year-old mom of 3 and grandma of 1. I was a teenage parent of 3 at the age of 19. I always held a job and ran a side business, but I didn’t have time, freedom, or control of my own schedule. I purchased my first home in 1998, 2nd in 2002, and then became a REALTOR® at the advice of my second REALTOR®. I started in 2002 but didn’t start running a real estate business until 2015.
Awards in Real Estate:
In 2018 Rising Star REALTOR® of the Year, 2019 Distinguished Sales Associate of the Year, and 2020 REALTOR® of the year awards at the Greater Baltimore Board of Realtors, where I currently serve as President.
I also served on the 2022 Maryland REALTORS® and National Association of REALTORS® Board of Directors.
I became a servant leader and volunteered for leadership roles with REALTOR® organizations beginning in 2016, quickly rising to Women’s Council of REALTORS® President in 2019. That same year, I graduated from the MD REALTORS® Leadership Academy. This has helped me learn to make an impact in the lives of other agents and industry leaders.
The most recent highlight is that on my 45th birthday, I gave back my corporate job to become an independent contractor with a vision for more. More for me, my family, and more for everyone who had become a loyal friend or mentee to me over the past 3 years while I was growing quickly in my job, as a Managing Broker. It was time for ME! It was time for Freedom – Time, Location, and Financial Freedom. I quickly replaced my income by building an organization of 113 realtors in 16 states with the help of 20+ leaders in my organization. I currently mentor & sponsor real estate agents, who I meet with daily for morning coaching calls.
I recently became an Independent Coach, Teacher & Speaker with The John Maxwell Leadership Team, specializing in leadership development, consulting, coaching and keynote speaking.
I’m sure you wouldn’t say it’s been obstacle-free, but so far would you say the journey has been fairly smooth?
Having 3 children at the age of 19 hasn’t been a struggle. The struggle was to serve as the leader in my family so that my children would grow up to mirror my life principles and morals. I only wanted to be a successful role model for my kids. Success in everything I did — was a roadmap to being a role model for them. I have always excelled as a young, black female leader in my job or community. Most people aren’t used to that, so I struggled to fit in. That causes tension and strained relationships in the workplace. I never let that stop me. I always remain authentically myself because I have a strong sense of confidence and a will to win.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know?
I help real estate agents make better decisions that will impact their career, income, influence, and energy. Daily group coaching & mentoring is provided to any agent who joins my organization at eXp Realty, LLC, regardless of location or time zone. We start our day with a morning huddle call at 8 am ET, Monday to Thursday. I am proud that our organization is less than 2 years old with 113 real estate agents.
Before we go, is there anything else you can share with us?
I strongly believe in coaching and mentoring. Some of the most successful moments in my career are directly related to being coachable and having the right coach/mentor, sometimes more than one. If you can invest in yourself, the first investment should be a coach/mentor and any professional development available for your career.
