➡️ Download the FREE "Content Creation Realities & Lessons: A Guide to Smarter Strategy": https://stan.store/wendyforsytheGina Kirschenheiter was packing lunches at 5 AM for six kids when she realized reality TV fame wasn't forever—but the platform it gave her could build something lasting. After eight years on Bravo's Real Housewives of Orange County, she and partner Travis Mullen made a bold leap into real estate, launching The Gated Group at EXP Realty with a mission to protect clients like a "gate around them throughout the entire journey." What started as Travis pushing Gina toward real estate ("I never saw that coming") became a powerhouse team that's already closed $8.5-10M in sales, gets houses into escrow in a week or less, and proves that with authenticity and hustle, you can turn celebrity into meaningful business success while staying true to who you are.➡️ Show Links Gina's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ginakirschenheiter/ Travis's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/travis.mullen.85/ The Gated Group: https://gatedgroup.com/➡️ Timestamps 00:00 From Reality TV Spotlight to Real Estate Arena 02:29 Six Kids, 5 AM Lunches, and Work-Life Balance 03:21 The Transition: Using Platform to Create Something Else 04:35 "We're Really Doing the Work" - Beyond the Celebrity 05:19 Making Yourself Approachable Despite Fame 06:27 When Perception Works Against You 07:40 "We Are the Most Powerful Marketing Team" 08:52 "Be the Celebrity of Your Own Market" 09:43 One Brand Strategy: Personal + Professional 11:19 The Gated Group: Building Something Bigger Than Names 12:52 The Gate Symbolism: Keeping Clients Safe 15:16 Why EXP Realty Was the Right Fit 17:10 Each Other's X-Factors: Connection vs. Problem-Solving 21:56 Partnership Advice: Stay in Your Lane 25:18 Future Vision: Quality Over Quantity Team Growth 27:09 Being a Tool in Other Agents' Tool Belts➡️ Connect With Wendy https://x.com/brandWendy/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/wendyforsythe/ https://www.instagram.com/brandwendy/
