Have you ever wondered if you really have what it takes to build a life-changing business from the ground up, without connections, wealth, or a blueprint? This episode of Entrepreneur Blueprint will stir your soul and fire up your faith as we sit down with Gerwayne Collins, a top-producing real estate agent, devoted mom of many, and the woman her community lovingly remembers as “the candy lady.”
Gerwayne’s story is not polished, it’s powerful. Raised on Houston’s northeast side, with no insider knowledge of the home-buying process, Gerwayne’s first real estate experience left her feeling lost and underinformed. But that experience lit a fire in her. She dove deep into learning, not just to help herself, but to help her siblings, friends, and eventually hundreds of clients.
Brian and Gerwayne dive into her journey from full-time project engineer to real estate powerhouse, juggling multiple roles with the help of her village, and a whole lot of prayer. Her passion isn’t just about selling homes; it’s about making sure others never feel as lost as she did.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
Why knowledge, not hype, is the foundation of real estate success
How Gerwayne leaned into community, faith, and mentorship to launch her business
The #1 challenge agents face in today’s market (hint: it starts with TikTok)
How to discern if you should become a real estate agent
Practical first steps for anyone wanting to enter the industry and thrive
"I don’t need to get paid to help people, I’m just passionate about making sure they don’t feel uninformed like I once did." – Gerwayne Collins
