Ep 422: How She Walked Away from Her Family’s Business to Build a New York Luxury Empire — with Rebecca Blacker

Join us this week as we sit down with Rebecca Blacker, a successful New York City real estate broker who runs a top-producing, all-women's team focusing on luxury real estate. Rebecca shares the compelling story of her career, which began in her family's real estate business. Her grandfather, a Holocaust survivor, originally founded the company, making real estate a lifelong presence for Rebecca. However, after the birth of her second child, she felt an overwhelming desire for independence—a need to build something her own rather than managing her father's and grandfather's legacy. This bold move was driven by her ambition to be an entrepreneur and a role model for her kids. Although her transition was initially difficult for her family, they are now incredibly supportive of the successful business she has created.

Rebecca details the modern, authentic approach she took to launch her solo career, which began with no listings or content. She purposefully created video content on social media, investing in a studio to overcome the initial fear of being on camera. She used this platform to share her life as a mom and a business starter, building a trustworthy brand that allows clients to feel like they know her before they even meet. This strategy successfully led to clients and the eventual expansion into her current five-member, all-women's team. Rebecca now finds immense joy in the mentorship aspect of leadership, loving the collaboration and support the team provides, and celebrating her members' successes even more than her own. She defines an empowered woman as someone who is fearless, sets goals, and pursues them without worrying about the opinions of others.
