Let’s take a deep dive into your real estate business and create a clear, actionable plan to help you:

→ Build simple, effective lead generation strategies that work for YOU

→ Deliver a client experience that gets you referrals and repeat business

→ Master time management to create more balance in your life

Burnout in real estate is something I see far too often, but it’s not something we talk about enough. In this episode of the Market Authority Show, I sat down with Heidi Littleton to dive into her story of hitting rock bottom in her real estate career, the tough lessons she learned along the way, and the changes that helped her find her passion again. If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything “right” but still falling behind, this conversation will give you the clarity and encouragement you need to escape burnout and create a business that actually works for you.

// ABOUT ME


I'm Stefanie Lugo, your real estate business coach!

I'm the OG Systems Gal, or rather, the real estate agent & founder behind the Market Authority. I've learned a bit after ten years in real estate—right in the action and guiding folks like you. My tried-and-tested methods have helped agents double their deals (or more!) and find that sweet spot of work-life balance they never thought possible.


This Academy is me handing over the keys to the kingdom, those same strategies that worked wonders for me and many others. It's about more than just getting by in real estate; it's about owning it. Ready to step up with the pros and make your mark?
