Today we’d like to introduce you to Cassandra Montgomery.
Hi Cassandra, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
My name is Cassandra Montgomery, a mother, real estate broker, entrepreneur, investor, and author. My journey began after graduating from Michigan State University in 2003 with a BA in Supply Chain Management. I joined Honda Manufacturing, where I found fulfillment in my role in the purchasing department, yet my entrepreneurial spirit constantly nudged me towards exploring new horizons. At the age of 23, I decided to purchase a new home; I was not fond of the idea of renting and was eager to invest wisely. I connected with a local realtor named Jeffrey Walker, and I embarked on the home-buying journey with Jeffrey’s guidance. Throughout the process, I found myself captivated by the intricacies of real estate, from property selection to financial intricacies, the passion to help people, and the flexibility it offered. Inspired by Jeffrey’s expertise and encouraged by his support, I began contemplating a career shift. However, the decision to leave the security of my corporate job wasn’t made lightly. I meticulously planned my transition, considering financial implications and potential fallback options.
Despite moments of doubt and fear of the unknown, I ultimately chose to follow my heart. I submitted my resignation, bidding farewell to the corporate world to pursue my passion for real estate. The transition wasn’t without its challenges, but with faith as my compass, I persevered. I enrolled in a real estate course and immersed myself in studying. By God’s grace, I obtained my real estate license within a few months; I remember being so excited after passing the exam on the first try and closed my first deal within a month after. It took hard work, patience, and dedication. I also explored creative marketing strategies and found my niche. Simultaneously, I also enrolled in Grad school, acquiring an MBA as a backup option, which enriched my creative marketing strategies, overall business plans, and 5-year goals.
Stepping out in faith proved to be transformative. What began as a leap of faith blossomed into a thriving career.
Today, nearly two decades later, I humbly stand as a successful real estate broker, investor, and mentor, fulfilling my purpose and impacting lives along the way. Reflecting on my journey, I’m reminded of the power of listening to that inner voice nudging us towards our true calling.
If you find yourself at a crossroads, unsure of which path to take, I urge you to listen to that still, small voice. Embrace the uncertainty, for it may lead you to your greatest successes.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way? Looking back, would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
My real estate journey has been a labor of love, a passion that drives me to wake up each day eager to tackle new challenges. While much of my journey has been smooth sailing, I’ve also encountered shifts in market conditions that required me to adapt, adjust, and evolve. One of the most significant lessons I’ve learned, particularly during the upheaval of the 2008 housing bubble, is the importance of flexibility in navigating unpredictable markets. Rather than remaining stagnant in the face of adversity, I embraced change and found ways to thrive within it. Whether it was assisting clients with loan modifications, facilitating short sales, or navigating foreclosures, I viewed each challenge as an opportunity to learn and grow.
