Business
For Kenita Tang, a Maryland-based real estate agent and business coach, life has been such a crazy roller coaster ride. When her parents got divorced, their lives took an unexpected turn and they struggled to make ends meet. At roughly 12 years old, she had her first job at a snowball stand to help her mother. But it was through these early hardships that she learned the power of sales and discovered her innate talent for salesmanship. “Sales is in her DNA,” so to say. When she got divorced, she had to sell all of her businesses and even their $1.4M home, which led her back again to square one. It was one of the toughest times in her life, especially since she became a single mom to her three small children. It was after she moved back to their childhood home that she thought about how she could re-establish herself. She engaged in some hobbies, started to pierce her life back together, and did everything she could to earn money. She eventually went back into sales by selling luxury cars. Her good work ethic, love for serving people, and extensive business experience laid the foundation for her real estate career. In 2018, she closed over 15 million and 50 properties as a single agent, giving her a GCI of over $400,000. This year, she now has a team of buyer’s agents and admins who are looking to close almost 100 homes. Tune in and be in awe with how Kenita Tang managed to pick herself up whenever she falls down in life, and how she prides herself in her diligence to read and learn everything about her work. She also shares how she used social media to leverage her real estate business, and why she tells people to also value self-compassion to help them become better versions of themselves.
