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/
