Today we’d like to introduce you to India Whitlock.
Hi India, so excited to have you on the platform. So, before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
I graduated from Notre Dame of Maryland University with a degree in Marketing in Finance. Initially starting off as a title agent doing real estate settlements and buying rental properties. From there I transitioned into a loan officer. After two years of that a really close friend of mine, Angelo Cooper suggested I get my real estate license because I was really knowledgeable of the business, after 4 years of being successful as an individual agent, I decided it was time to expand and start my own team, The Madison Mason Home Group which is named after my two children. Now 5 years later, I am a small but powerful team of six black women that consists of 4 agents, 1 operations manager, and a team coordinator.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
There have been lots of challenges. Building my business pipeline in a commission-based industry and having a family to feed. Not giving all your profit away while trying to maintain talent. Dealing with the ups and downs of the real estate industry. Staying ahead of the curve of an ever-changing market. Identifying and training team members that were going to be a good fit for my vision, The road has certainly not been smooth but worth it!
As you know, we’re big fans of The Madison Mason Home Group. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about the brand?
The Madison Mason Home Group is a small boutique real estate team focusing on creating a better living together through real estate. We specialize in residential investments and real estate development. What I believe sets us apart is that we lead with a heavy philanthropic component where we focus on serving the communities that we live in, that we sell in, and that we build in. As for my brand, I’m most proud that we are known for our investment in families. We are a team of six women, six mothers who are working hard to change generational norms and make buying real estate more accessible to people who have not traditionally been able to.
Alright, so to wrap up, is there anything else you’d like to share with us?
The Madison Mason Home Group is not just about selling real estate. We are always looking for creative ways to invest in others. Currently, our Brown Bag Campaign is collecting feminine hygiene products for those in need staying in our local shelters. In the past, we have given away a 10,000 scholarship to assist with college costs and sponsored a trip to Spain for a young lady to attend a mentorship program abroad. Our ongoing goal is to Earn a million, net a million, give a million.
