She Lost Everything, Then Built a Real Estate Empire: Jen Cameron's Rules for Leading With Heart

My son said, you know, mom, you've always made so many safe decisions for us.

You've always done the next thing with us in mind.

And we think this is your time and you should do this.

And if you do, we'll be here to support you.

I get so emotional telling that story.

Hey, it's Tanya and welcome back to Make It You, the podcast for ambitious professionals and entrepreneurs who are ready to align who they are with who they're becoming.

I met Jen through a mutual friend and ever since that one initial dinner, we keep running into each other at events, out shopping, literally all over the place.

It's like we were meant to keep connecting.

So from a distance, I have admired how she runs her business and now seeing her

build out her own podcast and content too.

Jen is a top luxury real estate broker in the greater Seattle and Eastside area and the owner and designated broker of the Agency Seattle and the Agency Seattle Eastside.

She's got more than 27 years in this business, over a billion dollars in real estate sales, and she's consistently ranked in the top 1.5% of agents in the entire country.

She's a broker other agents call when the listing has failed to sell anywhere else, and her deals include the off-market sale of the highest-priced property on Orcas Island, previously owned by Oprah Winfrey, and the sale of NBA All-Star Zach Levine's Pacific Northwest home.

Through the agency's global platform, she's connecting her clients with nearly 200 offices in more than 16 countries.

And she's known for bold leadership, deep market expertise, and an approach to luxury real estate that's as strategic as it is personal.

I'm telling you, this conversation is the kind I love the most.

It's part business, part real talk, and about what it takes to build a life that actually reflects who you are.

Jen, I'm so happy we get to sit here today.
