Brianna:

2

:

here with another episode of What's

Good Podcast and we are in season eight.

3

:

We have another guest with us today.

4

:

Her name is Amber D’Yone.

5

:

Thank you so much for being here.

6

:

Amber: I'm so excited.

7

:

Thank you for having me.

8

:

Brianna: Indeed.

9

:

Why have we, like this is meant

to be because We have been

10

:

back and forth for a few years.

11

:

The whole time I've been podcast and

we just talked about that, right?

12

:

So we are finally here and I'm

super excited to be here with you.

13

:

Amber: Yes, me too.

14

:

Brianna: All right.

15

:

So usually we get started

with an icebreaker.

16

:

Are you ready for your icebreaker?

17

:

Amber: I'm ready.

18

:

Brianna: Okay.

19

:

So your icebreaker is, if you

could choose any famous historical

20

:

figure to have a real estate

client, who would it be and why?

21

:

Amber: Oh, goodness gracious.

22

:

Dead or alive.

23

:

It doesn't matter.

24

:

Dead or alive.

25

:

Oh.

26

:

shoot, that's a hard one.

27

:

I'm gonna go with the only person I said

I would ever fan out if I met and that's

28

:

Oprah and everybody say, why do you be

so, you know, this, I guess that's kind

29

:

of like a space, a safe space, but I

really, Oprah started out as a journalist.

30

:

I started out as a journalist.

31

:

she had a TV show.

32

:

I've been doing TV.

33

:

I want to produce more TV shows.

34

:

and she, I just.

35

:

It's just her persona.

36

:

It's like when she walk in the room

and I feel like when I walk in the

37

:

room, I get the same type of, respect.

38

:

So I would say Oprah, because she

knows a lot about real estate.

39

:

She has a lot of, her, catalog of

real estate is probably humongous.

40

:

So yeah, so, um, it probably would be her.

41

:

Nice.

42

:

Yeah.

43

:

Okay.

44

:

Brianna: So not just cause she

45

:

Amber: got a TV show and she famous.

46

:

No, it's more of a

47

:

Brianna: personal connection

because of the journey that you've

48

:

gone on and journey she has.

49

:

Correct.

50

:

Amber: Correct.

51

:

Nice.

52

:

Brianna: Okay.

53

:

So, as we know, we're talking about

real estate, so we're going to get

54

:

to know you a little bit better.

55

:

We're going to get started

with our genuine conversation.

56

:

Background: Okay.

57

:

Brianna: So, for you, who is Amber?

58

:

Amber: I am, a woman of God, first of all.

59

:

Brianna: Love that.

60

:

Amber: I'm a mother, mother of two.

61

:

I have a 18 year old who's getting

ready to go to Kansas State.

62

:

let me, let me rephrase that.

63

:

I'm a single mother of two.

64

:

so I'm very proud of myself because I put

my son through private school by myself

65

:

and now he is going to Kansas State

University, which is a very good school.

66

:

I have my 18 year old and

I have my 12 year old.

67

:

My daughter is, autistic.

68

:

So, I'm very involved with

my kids, my kids life.

69

:

I am a journalist.

70

:

That is my love.

71

:

I love to write.

72

:

I write books.

73

:

I started out in the

entertainment industry writing.

74

:

and then I have an entertainment

company, which is Your Media

75

:

Bae Entertainment Group.

76

:

That's how we met.

77

:

Yes, correct.

78

:

Correct.

79

:

I feel like I'm a real chill, cool person.

80

:

I'm all about the, my

business, all about the money.

81

:

I know how to keep business

and personal separate.

82

:

I think that's why I have

so many relationships.

83

:

but yeah, that's me.

84

:

Brianna: I love that.

85

:

So, as we mentioned, when we first

met, you were into media, right?

86

:

But now you have transitioned

into real estate.

87

:

Yes.

88

:

What does that transition

look like as far as industry?

89

:

Because that's two different things.

90

:

So, how did you transition and

what made you get into real estate?

91

:

Amber: So, my dad passed

about two years ago.

92

:

and the reason why I got into real

estate was because my dad was really

93

:

big about generational wealth.

94

:

Right.

95

:

I had been taking real estate

classes since I started college.

96

:

Like literally I was taking

a class here, a class there.

97

:

So I've always been

intrigued by real estate.

98

:

I used to work for Habitat for

Humanity for over 10 years.

99

:

So I was very, I'm very intrigued

by real estate and helping people

100

:

get somewhere that they love.

101

:

So, that's always been

at the back of my mind.

102

:

And then during COVID, the entertainment

industry, just like all other

103

:

industries, they took a big hit.

104

:

And so, although we were surviving.

105

:

It made me think about I need

to do something different.

106

:

And so when my dad passed,

I said, you know what?

107

:

I'm not, I'm not waiting anymore.

108

:

And I went and passed my test.

109

:

Nice.

110

:

Brianna: So I know they say

the test is really hard.

111

:

How did you prepare for it?

112

:

Amber: Girl, people would be exaggerated.

113

:

, I swear.

114

:

Like the test.

115

:

You

116

:

Brianna: just good with tests?

117

:

Amber: No, I'm horrible with tests.

118

:

I have bad anxiety when

it comes to tests, really.

119

:

But the thing about it is, if

you really want something, and if

120

:

you really, really pay attention

to what they're saying in class.

121

:

And if you take the, there's like a prep

you do, that it's like a two day prep and

122

:

they basically go through the entire test.

123

:

You don't know what questions are.

124

:

Is this known

125

:

Brianna: or?

126

:

Amber: Yeah, yeah.

127

:

Everybody, this is a,

it's like a test prep.

128

:

Okay.

129

:

Okay.

130

:

And they go through the entire test.

131

:

You don't know what questions are

going to be on there, but like they

132

:

tell you, they're just going to change

up the wording of the question, but

133

:

it's going to be the same thing.

134

:

and so I went through

that and I passed my test.

135

:

I passed it in the, well, so the very

first time I was focused on it, I

136

:

was like, oh my gosh, the state part,

they just came like the federal part.

137

:

The main part of it was the

hardest part and I was like,

138

:

okay, well let me focus on this.

139

:

So I focused so much on that, I didn't

really pay attention to the state

140

:

and so when I went in there, I passed

the first part of it, I passed it

141

:

with flying colors, but the second

part, I missed about two points.

142

:

I studied for a week, I went back in

there and I passed the test in 23 minutes.

143

:

And the man, yeah, the man was like,

ma'am, are you sure you're done?

144

:

I was like, yes, I'm done.

145

:

But because you, as long as you

pay attention to what you're doing,

146

:

the verbiage does not change.

147

:

It goes the same, the same verbiage

throughout the entire test.

148

:

So it's like, as long as you understand

the stuff that you're reading and you

149

:

are retaining the stuff that you are

reading in, I think that, you know,

150

:

it's not, you don't have to be scared.

151

:

I literally had bad test anxiety,

so it was nothing like that.

152

:

But I went in there and

I passed the test and.

153

:

I was done.

154

:

Brianna: Congratulations.

155

:

So how long have you been in the industry?

156

:

Amber: Um, as of October,

um, it will be two years.

157

:

Brianna: I didn't know that.

158

:

I'm super

159

:

Amber: fresh.

160

:

Brianna: So what is a success

story that you can share?

161

:

Cause I know based on your bio, I

was reading, doing a little research.

162

:

You work with entrepreneurs, you work

with creatives, like anybody that

163

:

really needs assistance and don't

feel like they can actually get it.

164

:

A new home.

165

:

You make sure that they have those

resources and those opportunities to

166

:

make sure that they do get a new home.

167

:

Amber: Okay.

168

:

Brianna: What has been

a success story for you?

169

:

Amber: I'm glad you asked this because

I just, I'll be on cloud nine every

170

:

time I tell somebody about this story.

171

:

my very first client, her

husband spoke no Spanish.

172

:

she was not a citizen.

173

:

She was on DACA.

174

:

Her husband had no citizenship.

175

:

I'm new, I'm fresh.

176

:

I don't even think I can get

them a house to be honest.

177

:

But it was something I guess the

Lord just kept telling me you can get

178

:

them a house Don't give up on them.

179

:

And so I had met the lady and

we were talking she was young.

180

:

She had young kids two young boys

And she kept she she I would go show

181

:

her house And so one day we were at

a house and she was like Amber She's

182

:

like first of all, I just want to thank

you because she spoke English very

183

:

good English And she was like Amber.

184

:

I just want to thank you because most

of the time when I tell realtors I have

185

:

DACA, I don't have citizenship, they

don't answer my phone calls anymore.

186

:

And I, in the back of my

mind, I was like, why?

187

:

Because that's the purpose of what

we're doing is trying to help people.

188

:

But it's harder to get someone

who doesn't have citizenship.

189

:

She didn't have I 10,

she didn't have anything.

190

:

they just had the cash money

to be able to buy a house.

191

:

And so I stuck with her and stuck

with her she got to the point where

192

:

she was getting kind of down and

depressed because she was thinking

193

:

like I'm never going to find a house.

194

:

And I'm telling you at the point I think

maybe she called me maybe a week before

195

:

and that weekend we went out and looked

at a house and we got her a house.

196

:

And so one thing she told me,

she was like, I don't want to get

197

:

a house when my kids are older.

198

:

I want to be able to raise my kids

in a house where they can go outside

199

:

and they can run in the yard.

200

:

And so I ended up getting her, I think

it was three acres of land and a house.

201

:

And so she's planning on putting another

house on the land, but it's enough

202

:

room for her, her family, her kids.

203

:

and so that will always be my success

story because I was able to help someone

204

:

whose husband couldn't ever understand me.

205

:

Right.

206

:

And sometimes when you're

translating, It's hard because

207

:

the language is so different.

208

:

When you're buying a home, it

may be something that I'm telling

209

:

her, she may not even understand.

210

:

And then she's trying

to translate it to him.

211

:

But at the end, he was

very thankful to me.

212

:

They both were.

213

:

I was able to get their kids.

214

:

I got them some little plaques with

their names on it to put in their rooms.

215

:

That was their gift that I gave them,

something that they could grow up with.

216

:

and it was just like, just helping them

knowing that, we had nothing in common.

217

:

I didn't, I didn't know these

people, nobody referred them.

218

:

and that was my very first client.

219

:

Brianna: So how did they find you?

220

:

Amber: So I was a part

of this referral program.

221

:

Brianna: Okay.

222

:

Amber: because at beginning as a

realtor, it's a hard thing because

223

:

You're building your own business,

but at the same time you're building

224

:

this business, you have so many fees.

225

:

Starting out, you have that.

226

:

I think that's harder than the

test is realizing how many fees.

227

:

And as soon as you pass the test, the

minute you pass your test, you start

228

:

getting emails, text messages from all of

these different companies and you don't

229

:

know, should I put my money over here?

230

:

you don't know what's

right and what's not.

231

:

So at first I was spending money

over here, spending money here

232

:

until I sat back and I'm looking.

233

:

You know.

234

:

I'm like, well, I'm a part of all

these different programs, but none

235

:

of them are helping me focus on the

real estate and getting people houses.

236

:

So I think that was a really big

issue for me when I very first started

237

:

was when you first start that test,

I mean, when you first pass the

238

:

test, it's so much stuff coming at

you and then you have these fees.

239

:

So but you're not selling a house yet.

240

:

You haven't sold a house.

241

:

you have fees for your license.

242

:

You have fees for your broker.

243

:

You have fees for the

different systems you use.

244

:

That stuff's not free.

245

:

So that's the hardest part I think

of starting real estate is not

246

:

having a clientele to start off

with, but then having to, maintain.

247

:

I mean, if you haven't sold a house and

you're not selling a rental, I was lucky

248

:

to sell two houses in my first year.

249

:

Some people don't sell any

houses in their first year.

250

:

Some people don't sell any

houses in their two years.

251

:

I was lucky to sell my two

houses in my very first year

252

:

and then I caught on to rentals.

253

:

So that's kind of what helped me

survive, but some people, they

254

:

don't make it past the two years.

255

:

They don't make it.

256

:

Cause that two years we have to renew.

257

:

So a lot of people drop out before.

258

:

Brianna: continued education where

you have to take the test all over?

259

:

No.

260

:

Amber: Well you got to take continuing

education, but not the test all over.

261

:

Okay.

262

:

Yeah.

263

:

We have to have a certain amount

of hours that we have to complete.

264

:

Yeah.

265

:

Cause at this

266

:

Brianna: point it's like

keeping up your license.

267

:

Amber: Correct.

268

:

Brianna: Right.

269

:

Amber: And so if you're not selling any

houses, you can't keep up with them fees.

270

:

You can't keep up with the fees.

271

:

And then when it comes to renewal, there's

a whole big old fee when you renew.

272

:

and then you have to take those

continuing education classes costs.

273

:

Brianna: Okay.

274

:

So we have not talked about this.

275

:

This is on a whole nother end

because I've realized even watching

276

:

TV when it comes to real estate,

it's always like a luxury thing.

277

:

I mean, every agent, they got their Louis

on, they got their YSL, they looking

278

:

real good and looking real cute, right?

279

:

But on the other end, like

behind the scenes, it's real.

280

:

Amber: It's very real.

281

:

Just your face change.

282

:

Brianna: So what else, have you learned

on that, as far as the agent side?

283

:

Amber: so it's very, I

wouldn't say it's cliquish.

284

:

I think that.

285

:

People get in and they try to find, you

know, you want to find the right mentor.

286

:

because again, you're coming

into an industry where it's

287

:

just like any other industry.

288

:

Just like the entertainment industry.

289

:

If you're not a part of it, you

have to become a part of it.

290

:

But you also have to have individuals

who are already in it who can

291

:

refer you so people can trust you.

292

:

Because that's with anything.

293

:

when I first started the

entertainment industry, I didn't

294

:

get in just by writing stories.

295

:

I actually had someone who was already in.

296

:

They started referring me to

doing this, referring me, and

297

:

that's how I built my connections.

298

:

So it's just the same

way with being a realtor.

299

:

You have to be able to find those

individuals that will actually,

300

:

guide you through it, to be able to

connect you to certain individuals,

301

:

As long as you do the work,

you're going to be able to

302

:

connect with the right people.

303

:

So networking is like a huge key.

304

:

if you don't know how to network, Do

not go get your real estate license.

305

:

Brianna: That's real.

306

:

Amber: Like if you don't know

how to, if you do not know how to

307

:

network, you cannot be a realtor.

308

:

So it's a

309

:

Brianna: situation to where

like it's a legit team.

310

:

Cause I know I've talked to other

people that's been on the podcast.

311

:

They were saying, you know, they

have this person on their team.

312

:

They got this person on their team.

313

:

Who would you say builds your

team or as far as mentorship?

314

:

Amber: You have to build your own team.

315

:

Okay.

316

:

And I'm going to be honest, so

there's two different things.

317

:

every realtor, when you start, you have

to have a broker, but brokers sometimes

318

:

have different teams that you can be on.

319

:

I'm not on a team.

320

:

I'm still individually doing it by

myself, but I have individuals that

321

:

I work with that accountability team,

So when it comes to building my own

322

:

team, you have to think about it.

323

:

When you buy a house, what

kind of things do you need?

324

:

You need a lender.

325

:

You need somebody to finance you.

326

:

you need a title company.

327

:

I have to go find all those things.

328

:

Brianna: Okay.

329

:

Cause that's what we, when we were

talking about teams at that, those are

330

:

the people that they were mentioning.

331

:

Like they had these go to people

that they can go to to make

332

:

sure that the client is good.

333

:

Yeah.

334

:

Okay.

335

:

Amber: But if you didn't know any

mortgage loan officers or any lenders

336

:

or any plumbers to begin with, you're

having to build all of that up.

337

:

So, I mean, with my broker, I'm

with Rogers Healy, which is a

338

:

very good brokerage, may I say.

339

:

I've been through two others

before this, and this is the

340

:

one that I love this brokerage.

341

:

but they have a lot of stuff built in.

342

:

So, I can go into a database, and I can

say, people can say these are the trusted

343

:

individuals, and you can choose from those

individuals, then you can start building

344

:

your relationship with those individuals.

345

:

So that makes it a little bit easier.

346

:

if your brokerage is too big, you'll

notice like it's really hard to get help.

347

:

I was at a very big broker and,

they put me with a mentor who

348

:

had not sold a house in 10 years.

349

:

Brianna: So is it because they retired?

350

:

Yeah.

351

:

Amber: still, why would you have mentors

who have not sold a house in 10 years?

352

:

The real estate industry does like this.

353

:

It's more, it's like a maze.

354

:

You know, those mazes we

used to do back in the day.

355

:

That's how real estate industry is.

356

:

It's nothing straight about it.

357

:

But if you have a mentor who haven't sold

houses in 10 years, how do they know?

358

:

How do they know what

the current industry is?

359

:

You can read the news all day, but

if you're not in it, actually on

360

:

the ground in the neighborhoods, you

don't actually know what's going on.

361

:

That makes

362

:

Brianna: so much sense.

363

:

Like Leah, cause you just, like

you said, it's a current market.

364

:

So what happened 10 years ago was totally

different than what's happening right now.

365

:

years

366

:

Amber: ago.

367

:

What happened last year is

totally different than now.

368

:

What's happening right now is

going to be different from what's

369

:

going to be happening in six months

370

:

Brianna: Yeah.

371

:

Okay.

372

:

So let's get into the investing

side of being a buyer, right?

373

:

When your client comes to you and say hey

i'm looking to buy a house or i'm looking

374

:

because you know You mentioned rental as

well What does that look like to for them?

375

:

You need to have this thing these

type of things in order What

376

:

would you say they need to have?

377

:

Amber: So, I think what scares people

the most is that you start off saying

378

:

that they have to have the credit and

the income, but nobody ever really says

379

:

anything about if you don't have the

credit, do you have the work history?

380

:

Because there's so many different

lenders, so many different programs

381

:

out there that can help individuals.

382

:

And that's part of the reason why I

wanted to do this because people think

383

:

it's just you go to a bank, you go to

Bank of America, you go to Wells Fargo

384

:

and you get a loan for your house.

385

:

there's other programs out there that can

help people who have low credit scores.

386

:

there's, programs out there that

will help individuals who have

387

:

been on their job a long time, but

maybe they don't make enough money.

388

:

So there's a lot of different

programs that people don't even know

389

:

about, and it's not widely exposed,

because I feel like more people

390

:

would want to get their own space.

391

:

so starting out for me, I think

you have to have the drive

392

:

and the want to want a house.

393

:

you have to come in and you want to be

educated on the proper way to buy a house.

394

:

because I think a lot of times

people, they go to individuals and

395

:

they want to purchase a home, but

they don't even know the process.

396

:

And so they get into this process and

then something starts happening and they

397

:

don't know if they should back out or if

they should continue to go because they're

398

:

not being educated on what is happening.

399

:

So, I think for me, as long as you

have the drive of wanting to get a

400

:

house, of course you have a job, you

have to have some type of income.

401

:

Even if you're self employed, we

have to be able to prove your income.

402

:

so I think for me, as long as you

have some type of income, you have

403

:

the drive, and actually want a home.

404

:

I think that's for me because you

can work on your credit score.

405

:

there's different programs out there where

we can get some down payment assistance.

406

:

where we can get some

closing cost assistance.

407

:

So there's, I don't think, you don't

have to have 20K built up for me.

408

:

You don't.

409

:

Because I'm the one that's going to go out

there and try to find the lender or find

410

:

the home or find the owner who's willing

to work with the buyer to get them a home.

411

:

Brianna: I love that.

412

:

So, let's tap into that educational

piece that you mentioned.

413

:

There are different programs.

414

:

What would be one program that you worked

with recently when it comes to the closing

415

:

costs or credit repair, whatever the case

may be, that you could share with us?

416

:

Amber: So, USDA, which is a program

for homebuyers, and it basically,

417

:

it's called a USDA Rural Development.

418

:

and it was created to

develop the rural areas.

419

:

but it helps individuals who have

low income, but who have been on

420

:

their jobs for a very long time.

421

:

The main focus is individuals who are

teachers, anyone in the, medical field,

422

:

if you're a firefighter, rescue, anyone

in the rescue, field, those are the

423

:

individuals that they like to focus on.

424

:

And so that's one that I just

got certified in and I've

425

:

been helping individuals find

homes through that program.

426

:

with that program, you can actually

buy land, you can buy a house,

427

:

you can get a new house built.

428

:

and it's, it, you don't really,

you don't have a down payment.

429

:

And then they try to make your

monthly payments to where you can pay

430

:

Background: So

431

:

Amber: it's a government program, it's

a federal program, and it's a program

432

:

that a lot of people don't know about.

433

:

especially if you're a teacher, there

are a lot of teachers that do take

434

:

advantage of it, but there's a lot

of teachers that, that aren't aware.

435

:

There may be some single moms out there

and this is the way you can get a home.

436

:

This is what they want to do.

437

:

They want to give teachers homes.

438

:

Brianna: That's beautiful.

439

:

So why do you think, is it just a

situation where you have to know a certain

440

:

person or they just don't make it public?

441

:

Because I know a lot of times we see

things, but we don't pay attention

442

:

to it until we're actually in that

situation or other times we just don't

443

:

know until coming across somebody

like you and then we get educated.

444

:

So is this publicly known or would

you say you would have to be in

445

:

these type of spaces to understand?

446

:

Amber: So, this goes back to my, my

media, my branding background, right?

447

:

So it's definitely publicly long known.

448

:

the thing about it is, is there

a lot of awareness behind it?

449

:

No.

450

:

So they don't, yeah, there's

not a lot of people pushing it.

451

:

a lot of realtors.

452

:

They are in it for different things.

453

:

And so, if the USDA does not pay a

certain percentage of the home, they may

454

:

not even tell you about that program.

455

:

Brianna: Hmm.

456

:

Amber: So, You know, that's

where we get our niches from.

457

:

You know, everybody has their own niche.

458

:

And so, I think for me, because I worked

for Habitat for so long, and I helped

459

:

so many people get into homes, I wanted

to be able to do that on my own through

460

:

other programs that were available because

I can still use Habitat for Humanity.

461

:

That's another program.

462

:

Right.

463

:

Brianna: I was going to, after this,

if we could talk about that, because

464

:

I know, my sister in law, she went

through Habitat for Humanity and that's

465

:

Amber: such

466

:

Brianna: a program, so,

but go ahead, keep going.

467

:

Amber: so USDA is sort of

similar to that, but they help,

468

:

they even help with repairs.

469

:

people don't realize that there's

programs that you can do where you can

470

:

get into a home and if the home needs

repairs, there's a loan where you can get.

471

:

that will help you do

the repairs on the home.

472

:

basically you find a house that's

affordable to where they give you amount

473

:

a whole amount It's enough the loan covers

the price of the home and the repairs and

474

:

a lot of individuals don't know that So

you may find a house that you absolutely

475

:

love And it just needs some repairs and if

you can get it at a lower price, then you

476

:

put in a bid for it and then do the loan

To be able to do the updates to the home.

477

:

Brianna: That's wild.

478

:

Okay, you dropping some jam.

479

:

Amber: I hope so girl.

480

:

I'm new at this but I love doing

this and I've tried to educate

481

:

myself as much as I could.

482

:

Brianna: tell you love it because

like you're so willing to give

483

:

out the information because

there's a lot of gatekeeping.

484

:

Yeah.

485

:

And you're so willing to be

like, okay, You can do this.

486

:

And I really, really enjoy that.

487

:

Well, thank you.

488

:

I appreciate that.

489

:

Yeah.

490

:

So let's talk about human,

human, humanity, habitat

491

:

for humanity, for humanity.

492

:

Let's talk about that.

493

:

Cause I learned about sweat equity.

494

:

There's so much.

495

:

That I'll learn just asking

questions about, the program.

496

:

So go ahead and tell

people about that one.

497

:

Amber: So, Habitat for Humanity,

I worked there for over 10 years.

498

:

I actually started out there,

as AmeriCorps or do you, are

499

:

you familiar with AmeriCorps?

500

:

So AmeriCorps is like a program

through the government where they

501

:

will pay for you to go to school and

you can work for a nonprofit as an

502

:

internship, but they actually pay you.

503

:

And so I started out with Habitat

for Humanity as an internship.

504

:

And ended up getting hired on, full

time and I was there for over 10 years.

505

:

Habitat for Humanity is a program,

that it's a grassroot program, so it

506

:

could be in different states, different

cities, and it's basically ran by

507

:

that individual, uh, organization.

508

:

So, I was a part of Habitat, Dallas Area

Habitat for Humanity, which is the biggest

509

:

habitat, in the Dallas Fort Worth area.

510

:

and I was over Family Services.

511

:

So, basically what I did was, any

families that came into the program,

512

:

they had to go through different classes.

513

:

Because a lot of individuals who came

to the Habitat for Humanity program,

514

:

they had never been homeowners.

515

:

they really did not understand the home

ownership versus renter situations.

516

:

So there's a lot of things

that change when you become

517

:

a homeowner versus a renter.

518

:

And so through Habitat, I was able

to get different, experiences.

519

:

Companies and different

organizations together to be

520

:

able to educate these families.

521

:

So like even one small

thing, pest control.

522

:

An apartment, you just have to call

a phone, you have to call the office

523

:

and say, Hey, I need pest control.

524

:

In a house, you actually have

to keep up with the schedule

525

:

of your own pest control.

526

:

You have to set up those appointments

and make sure that they're coming back

527

:

frequently if you need pest control.

528

:

Some people, that little small

thing, they don't even know.

529

:

Changing your filters in your home.

530

:

As a renter, you don't change

your filters in your home.

531

:

So, those different things,

I was a part of, my team, we

532

:

educated individuals on that.

533

:

But then we also Did you make

classes or Yeah, we had classes.

534

:

I created a schedule to where they

would take like a two day home ownership.

535

:

it was required once they got in

their home, they had to take it.

536

:

And then we would have different financial

classes, that they could come and take.

537

:

we also had, I was over, doing like

community events, and so we would

538

:

be in the community talking about

Habitat, but then we would also

539

:

be able to provide our homeowners.

540

:

So say for instance, you got into a

Habitat home, you started struggling,

541

:

we had like a little store in the back

where homeowners could come and get

542

:

toiletries and different things, and so

I was responsible for those things too.

543

:

So I've always been a, kind of

like a giver or, I've always

544

:

wanted to support individuals.

545

:

So, Habitat for Humanity was

like, I absolutely loved that job.

546

:

I did.

547

:

I cried so many times because you

should hear some of those stories.

548

:

You know, it was just so many

families that, they never thought

549

:

homeownership was obtainable because

nobody that they knew was a homeowner.

550

:

And they were the first homeowners.

551

:

It was like the first

person going to college.

552

:

That's the, you know,

that's how it felt to them.

553

:

They were the first in their family.

554

:

So.

555

:

It was very rewarding.

556

:

Very, very, very rewarding.

557

:

Brianna: I love that.

558

:

Amber: Yeah.

559

:

Yeah.

560

:

Brianna: So now this is a good

segue to our next section.

561

:

And we're going to talk about

highs and lows and it doesn't

562

:

have to pertain to real estate.

563

:

It can be anything that you want to

celebrate, that you want to share with

564

:

us and say, Hey, this Amber, I did it.

565

:

So what would you like to share with us?

566

:

Amber: Girl, Amber, you did so

good with raising your kids, girl.

567

:

Oh my gosh, girl, you have

a son going to college.

568

:

Like I never would have thought my

son would be going to a D1 school.

569

:

and so that, that is something

I'm very, very, and I, I sent

570

:

him to private school on my own.

571

:

Yeah, when you said that, my eyes bucked.

572

:

I was like, that's

573

:

Brianna: beautiful.

574

:

Amber: Yeah.

575

:

And I told him the, so, I'm, I'm so mean.

576

:

Um, but I told him, I was like, after

he graduated, I was like, look, I don't

577

:

know how you gonna pay for college,

but you gonna have to pay for college

578

:

all your own But I, of course I'm

helping him pay for college, but still.

579

:

Right.

580

:

Must put a little fire under his mind.

581

:

Yeah.

582

:

Put a little fire but no, I'm

very proud of myself for that.

583

:

And I would say for these last

two years I was really like in a

584

:

bad place, because my dad passed.

585

:

and my dad was like the pillar

of our life, and I think that

586

:

over the two years I was able to.

587

:

Actually like take out time for

myself and realize who I was.

588

:

and I feel myself coming back to

myself, but even a better person.

589

:

And so I'm so thankful for that because

a lot of people don't know how to

590

:

take out that time for themselves.

591

:

and a lot of people don't actually

know how to go through grieving.

592

:

So I actually studied, you know,

what grieving was because I knew

593

:

I was going through it, but it

was, it was really bad for me.

594

:

And then I started going to a counselor.

595

:

Like a lot of people don't

like to do the counselor.

596

:

I love.

597

:

Absolutely love the, like, I love food.

598

:

I absolutely love a counselor for you.

599

:

I mean, cause

600

:

Brianna: you're feeding your soul.

601

:

Amber: That's exactly how I look at it.

602

:

Brianna: So on the opposite end, cause I

kind of want to dive in a little bit more

603

:

with the other side of your grieving,

604

:

Cause of course we still grieve

and we still think about our

605

:

loved ones, especially of sounding

like you are daddy's girl.

606

:

Amber: Oh no, I was the girl, my daddy.

607

:

Oh girl.

608

:

He was my, he was the pillar, but my

dad was the pillar of our entire family.

609

:

You know, you have that one person that

just like, he is the glue of everything.

610

:

It was my dad.

611

:

And so he was, I mean, my dad, if it was

not for my dad, I don't think I would

612

:

have been in the entertainment industry.

613

:

He used to take me to every

concert he could think of.

614

:

So like, he made me

fall in love with music.

615

:

And that's what, yeah, so I, I,

that was my, that was my guy.

616

:

Yeah.

617

:

Brianna: Cause my, when I usually

do the low question, I always

618

:

ask people, you know, what keeps

you motivated to keep going?

619

:

Cause again, I'm sure I, I haven't gone

through losing my father, and I don't.

620

:

Want to act like I know

what that feels like.

621

:

but for you like what keeps you motivated

to keep going because you're here You're

622

:

still striving, you know, you're of

course helping your son Helping your

623

:

daughter and you still do what you need

to do to keep moving and grouping So,

624

:

what do you do that keeps you moving and

625

:

Amber: grooving?

626

:

The okay, so I when I started off I said

i'm a a woman of god, so I think that

627

:

i'm spiritual and religious So I think

making sure that I have a even balance in

628

:

between the two really helped me a lot.

629

:

Because people, yes, I love the

Lord, but we also have a universe

630

:

and people don't realize that.

631

:

And so that universe

does a lot to our energy.

632

:

the frequencies in the world does a lot to

our energy and people don't realize that.

633

:

And so, me focusing in on those

things is what actually helped me a

634

:

lot through getting through my dad.

635

:

Because my whole family's

going through this.

636

:

It's not like I have somebody to talk to.

637

:

And at this time, I was going

through a relationship breakup, so,

638

:

I didn't have anybody to talk to.

639

:

Like, literally anybody.

640

:

and so that's why I started

going to my counselor.

641

:

because, you know, you'll talk to

some people and just like you said,

642

:

I like for you, you know, I commend

you for being honest because people

643

:

think that they know what you're going

through because their granny died or

644

:

their sister died, but a girl and her

dad is two totally different things.

645

:

A mom and her boy is two

totally different things.

646

:

And so, my dad taught me my hustle.

647

:

My dad gave me, my ability to Be so, you

know, so strong, you know what I mean?

648

:

He taught me, he taught me

a lot, you know what I mean?

649

:

And so losing him was something that I had

never felt that pain, all the breakups I'd

650

:

been through, you know, even my daughter

being, I have a, my daughter's a preemie.

651

:

She was born at 24 weeks.

652

:

And so that was painful, but the pain

from my dad passing, that was the

653

:

most pain I had ever felt in my life.

654

:

not understanding that grieving

properly, it was just like I had

655

:

went into a whole complete show.

656

:

It was like some days I

couldn't get out the bed.

657

:

I literally, you hear people

say that and you're like, well,

658

:

why can't you get out the bed?

659

:

But I actually felt it.

660

:

and then because I couldn't get out of

the bed, my businesses are networking.

661

:

My businesses are making

sure I keep my relationships.

662

:

And so, because I couldn't get out of

the bed, because I couldn't do my work,

663

:

I started getting into financial issues.

664

:

And it was like, at one

point, I was at rock bottom.

665

:

Like, literally, the bottom.

666

:

And so, I think that, I started

really, like, listening to books.

667

:

and I started, going to

sleep to frequencies.

668

:

and I started, really focusing on me.

669

:

if I wanted to go out and I went to

party, I'ma go out and I'ma party.

670

:

If I wanna stay home and

I'ma do this, I'ma do this.

671

:

I started learning how to say no and

started saying more yeses to myself.

672

:

And I think that sort of allowed

me to get through the grieving, and

673

:

allowed me to actually get back to me.

674

:

Like sometimes people get through grieving

and they can't get back to the set

675

:

themselves, because something is missing.

676

:

there's a gap, there's a hole,

but, I think I was with my dad

677

:

the whole day before he passed.

678

:

It was just me and him.

679

:

and so I think that kind of gave

me, a little relief in my grieving

680

:

and I, and I created his obituary.

681

:

I created my dad a 12 page

obituary and a whole video.

682

:

So I think that kind of

helped with my grieving too.

683

:

Cause I was able to look at people sending

me all these pictures and you know, all

684

:

these quotes and all these good memories.

685

:

I'm like, Oh my God.

686

:

It was just one video.

687

:

My dad was a big character.

688

:

He was like, I get a lot of my, we

haven't really had time together,

689

:

but I get a lot of my corny like

jokes and stuff from my dad.

690

:

And so, it was this one video.

691

:

They were talking about my

cousin who had passed away.

692

:

I think, no, it was his birthday.

693

:

and my dad said, my dad was older

than him and he said something

694

:

about you caught up with me in age.

695

:

my mama like, look, she gave him cause

they were sitting next to each other.

696

:

It was just like so hilarious.

697

:

So I keep that in my phone.

698

:

And so those different things, I

believe in seeing the red bird.

699

:

I hear my son.

700

:

I mean, I hear my dad's voice sometimes.

701

:

All of that stuff helped

me get through my grieving.

702

:

Yes.

703

:

you really have to allow yourself.

704

:

I think that's the thing.

705

:

And then you have to allow yourself.

706

:

So that was good.

707

:

Brianna: Okay.

708

:

So our next segment

would be one free advice.

709

:

In fact, a lot of times we

pay thousands and thousands

710

:

of dollars to go to different

seminars or pay for these classes.

711

:

And at the end you're like,

what did I get from this?

712

:

Nothing.

713

:

So what could you share

with our audience today?

714

:

It could be a quote, it could be just

some advice, anything for them to take

715

:

from this and then actually use it.

716

:

Amber: Okay.

717

:

I know this is very about

to be very cliche if I say

718

:

this too, but it's the truth.

719

:

Um, be yourself no matter what.

720

:

I think that part of the reason

why this is my first time being on

721

:

a podcast in many years is because

I started to lose myself and you

722

:

can't, if you lose yourself, you

can't be yourself in front of people.

723

:

So I think that I was afraid

to be myself in front of people

724

:

because I had lost myself.

725

:

And one thing I do know in

real estate, I use, your real

726

:

estate bay, for so many reasons.

727

:

Because in the real estate process,

you have to trust somebody.

728

:

And so I want individuals to trust me.

729

:

But at the end of the day, you

also have to, um, you have to

730

:

think about your personality.

731

:

And so in the entertainment

industry, it's your media bay.

732

:

And it's also about the trust, but

it's also in the real estate industry.

733

:

I built it up to where when I see

people, I say, Hey, bae, how you doing?

734

:

You know, especially if I don't

remember your name, I'm not

735

:

gonna be like, what's your name?

736

:

You know, I'll remember it as soon

as like after we kept talking,

737

:

but I meet so many people.

738

:

So my thing was, Hey bae,

you know, how you been doing?

739

:

So I think it's just the,

me being more personable.

740

:

and you know, you see a lot of realtors,

they have on the suits and all that.

741

:

I wear what I want to wear,

what makes me feel comfortable.

742

:

Yeah.

743

:

And I treat the individuals

how I would want to be treated

744

:

to make them feel comfortable.

745

:

And our first meeting, we're

not talking about a house.

746

:

We're talking about who we are as

individuals, because everybody that you

747

:

meet on your first meeting as a realtor,

they're going to talk about the houses.

748

:

I want to be personable So the main thing

that I can tell anybody is no matter what

749

:

journey you are on is remain yourself.

750

:

Don't try to remain yourself.

751

:

Learn how to remain yourself, who you

are, be true to you, because at the end

752

:

of the day, if somebody comes into your

life and they try to change some things

753

:

about you, how do you move on after that

when you've already lost yourself in them?

754

:

so we lose ourselves in the world all day.

755

:

So if we could learn how to be

our true selves, our honest, true

756

:

selves, we can accept criticism.

757

:

we can grow, we can accept when

we're wrong, and we can move on.

758

:

And so I think that's what it is for me.

759

:

I'm so down to earth now

because I've accepted who I am.

760

:

So if I do something and if

I say something, I'm like,

761

:

Oh shoot, that wasn't right.

762

:

Oh shoot.

763

:

Okay.

764

:

I'm sorry.

765

:

I will apologize for it because.

766

:

you don't know sometimes when

you hurt people's feelings.

767

:

You don't know sometimes when you say

something that is offensive to people.

768

:

Especially if it's not intentional.

769

:

It's not.

770

:

I'm never intentional.

771

:

I am.

772

:

I'm a cancer.

773

:

I love everybody.

774

:

Brianna: And you're emotional too.

775

:

Amber: I'm very emotional.

776

:

So I don't like to hurt your feelings.

777

:

So I, I never intentionally want to

hurt somebody or hurt their feelings.

778

:

So I just think that sometimes

my, my, the way I say different

779

:

things, I'm so natural that.

780

:

Or I'm so real sometimes that I say

the wrong words in the wrong order.

781

:

But I, I think that, you know, if

you know me, you know that Amber's

782

:

just, you know, she's just being real.

783

:

She's not trying to hurt you.

784

:

So I think being me helps me not

only in my real estate, but it

785

:

helps me in my everyday life, in my

entertainment business, because being

786

:

myself, you next time you call me

or whenever you call me, you know,

787

:

you're going to always get Amber.

788

:

No matter what I'm going through,

you're going to always get me.

789

:

I love that.

790

:

Yeah.

791

:

So always be yourself.

792

:

Brianna: Indeed.

793

:

Okay, so tell the people how they can

contact you, if that's social media,

794

:

website, if that's for your media bay

or if that's for a real estate bay,

795

:

So just tell the people

how they can plug in

796

:

Amber: Okay, so, I give

everybody my phone number.

797

:

I'm just going to be honest

because I have so much going on.

798

:

Now remind you, this is my business line.

799

:

And I do know how to block people,

so I have no problem with it.

800

:

Background: Disclaimer, okay?

801

:

Amber: Just a disclaimer

real quick, but no.

802

:

first of all, social media.

803

:

So you can reach me, on social media at

Your Media Bay or Your Real Estate Bay.

804

:

on IG, on Facebook, everything is

those two, those two platforms.

805

:

And then my cell phone, if you

want to talk about a house or if

806

:

you want a media run, whatever

:

807

:

So, Hey, she gave y'all everything.

808

:

I gave you everything.

809

:

And I do know how to say no.

810

:

Indeed.

811

:

Brianna: Because again, we

got to be ourselves, so we

812

:

Amber: have

813

:

Brianna: to

814

:

Amber: be ourselves.

815

:

Brianna: Okay.

816

:

So after this, we're wrapping it up.

817

:

We always leave it with

a motivational moment.

818

:

Sometimes it's a scripture, it's a quote,

something that I saw or something that

819

:

I received that just made me feel like,

Hmm, I can bring this on the podcast.

820

:

So today it is a scripture.

821

:

It's by, Jeremiah, chapter 29, verse 11.

822

:

Background: Okay.

823

:

For I know the

824

:

Brianna: plans I have for

you declares the Lord.

825

:

Plans to prosper you and not to harm you.

826

:

Plans to give you hope and a future.

827

:

So I'm gonna share my thoughts

and you can share your thoughts.

828

:

And it's a wrap.

829

:

So for me, when it comes to this

particular scripture, I was on a hiatus

830

:

as well for, was it for two years?

831

:

Maybe a year?

832

:

But it was a very, very long

time because I lost myself.

833

:

There was a lot of things that

was going on with me internally,

834

:

physically, spiritually, mentally.

835

:

And I just didn't feel like myself.

836

:

So after sitting down and really

understanding why God gave me this vision.

837

:

I just had to get back to Brianna first.

838

:

So, going back and understanding

that God gives us these visions,

839

:

gives us these things, and you

feel it and you keep coming back

840

:

to it, there's a reason for it.

841

:

And I've always known when I did the

podcast, I was in my happy place, just

842

:

talking to people, linking up to people.

843

:

and I have an accounting background.

844

:

So for me, just being in this space just

lets me know that I'm in the right space.

845

:

I'm in the right area.

846

:

I'm doing the things

that God wants me to do.

847

:

And sometimes it does get hard.

848

:

Sometimes you be wrong.

849

:

But as long as you get back to what God

called you to do, I feel like that's the

850

:

happy space that we always have to get

back to, and that goes back to you saying,

851

:

we always gotta fill up our own cups.

852

:

We have to be for, we gotta be for

ourselves, we understand what God has

853

:

for us, sometimes we can be a little

hard headed, but at the end of the day,

854

:

when we really sit down and just be with

God, and understand that this is not for

855

:

us, it's bigger than us, Then we have to

do these things to get out there, talk,

856

:

communicate, network, because again,

we're a vessel and I'm really big on that.

857

:

So, you know, if you have something,

if you have like a burning desire, I

858

:

would say do it because at the end of

the day, God has placed that in you.

859

:

What are your

860

:

Amber: thoughts?

861

:

That's so crazy that you read that verse

because that was one of my favorite ones.

862

:

Amen.

863

:

Yeah.

864

:

And so, it goes back to being you.

865

:

He created us.

866

:

And he created us, and he gave us

a path, and as long as you stay on

867

:

that path, you will be successful.

868

:

And I think for me, I kept trying, girl,

I'm telling you, I've been taking real

869

:

estate classes since I was straight out

of high school, and I've kept fighting

870

:

it and kept fighting it, and if it was

not for real estate and me staying on

871

:

the path that I know he wants me to be

on, I would not have been able to get out

872

:

of the financial burden that I was in.

873

:

Thank you.

874

:

I kept fighting it and it kept putting

me in a deeper financial burden.

875

:

And so, that's why I say when

it comes to being you, you know

876

:

who you are deep down inside.

877

:

I don't care what anybody say.

878

:

Yeah, you have some stuff that have

affected you, but you as a person,

879

:

you know who you are deep down inside.

880

:

And sometimes you don't want to be

that person because you feel this

881

:

person won't like you or this person,

they don't like what you do or this.

882

:

You can't worry about any of that

because at the end of the day, those

883

:

people weren't born with you and those

people are not going to die with you.

884

:

so I think that for me with that.

885

:

for that scripture, I think it is, stand

on your path when you know, it's right.

886

:

And don't be scared because if it's

your path, then it's going to happen.

887

:

And I think a lot of times we get to that

point where it's like, should I do this?

888

:

Should I not do this?

889

:

and, you're in your head, but

you keep seeing these visions

890

:

of you supposed to be doing it.

891

:

And I believe so much in visions.

892

:

That's another thing that helped

me because I kept seeing all of

893

:

this, me on the stage talking to

multiple people about real estate.

894

:

So I kept seeing these visions

and I'm like, you know what?

895

:

I know that this is my path.

896

:

And as I'm walking in this

path, it feels so good.

897

:

It feels so good.

898

:

and that's why I know I'm supposed to be.

899

:

And I think that scripture has a lot to do

with that because, everybody has a path.

900

:

Everybody has a path.

901

:

You can't, you, even, and I

hate to say this, even people

902

:

on drugs, everybody got a path.

903

:

And you hate to even think that the

Lord would put them on that type of

904

:

path, but everybody has a path, and

you gotta follow that path the way

905

:

He wants you to, and you gotta focus

on you and be happy in your life.

906

:

Like I'm totally happy.

907

:

And I can tell you, you got this

little glow going on over here.

908

:

I can tell you happy in your path too.

909

:

So that's good.

910

:

Brianna: I receive that.

911

:

Amber: Yeah.

912

:

Brianna: I mean, yes.

913

:

Like this whole time I've been

seeing a glow as you talk about media

914

:

and as you talk about real estate.

915

:

So I'm super excited for

you in this new journey.

916

:

Amber: I was a secret

agent for a long time.

917

:

Nice.

918

:

So I'm not going to be

secret agent anymore.

919

:

You out there.

920

:

Yeah.

921

:

No, I'm out here.

922

:

If you don't know, I'm a realtor by now.

923

:

We need to talk.

924

:

Okay.

925

:

All right.

926

:

So Amber, this is it.

927

:

Brianna: Did we leave

928

:

Amber: anything out?

929

:

Is there anything you feel like I missed?

930

:

Tell the

931

:

Brianna: people.

932

:

Amber: I just want to thank you.

933

:

First of all, I want to thank you

for being committed to yourself

934

:

because, people don't know how we

met, but we met on social media.

935

:

I had never met this young

lady a day in my life.

936

:

During COVID, I had to figure it

out in the entertainment industry

937

:

and I ended up reaching out to you.

938

:

I remember when you were on

your hiatus because you told me

939

:

and I think I reached back out.

940

:

You were still on your hiatus.

941

:

So I really, I love relationships

like this because it's a very,

942

:

very natural relationship.

943

:

I just want to tell you keep doing

what you're doing and keep loving what

944

:

you're doing and it will bring you so

much wealth and happiness in your life

945

:

that you will be like, Oh my gosh,

what am I going to do with all this?

946

:

So yeah.

947

:

Brianna: Thank

948

:

Amber: you.

949

:

for having me too.

950

:

Yes.

951

:

Brianna: All right, ladies and gents,

if you're listening to this morning,

952

:

noon, evening, or night, thank you

so much for tuning in to what's good

953

:
