What does it look like to start real estate in the middle of major life change—and still have a breakout first year?
In this episode of Unlocking Real Estate: My First Commission, host Tina Lapp sits down with Angela Vega, a Realtor serving Phoenix and Scottsdale with My Home Group. Angela shares how her path into real estate began through running a family business that supported individuals with developmental disabilities—work that required buying and selling properties and sparked a real passion for the industry.
Angela opens up about the personal turning point that pushed her to go all-in, how she powered through an intense in-person licensing course, and the mindset shift that helped her ignore the “the market is terrible” noise. From joining a high-expectation team (and closing fast) to building a business fueled by referrals, open houses, and genuine community connection—Angela breaks down what actually moved the needle.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
How Angela went from running a family business to launching a real estate career
Why mindset and discipline mattered most during grief and major life transitions
What a high-performance team environment taught her (and when she went independent)
Her open house strategy (including door-knocking + neighborhood research)
How she built a business without relying heavily on paid marketing
How she found balance after an “all-in” first year
Why having the right broker + lender partners is everything as a new agent
