The Secret to Growth: "Do What Fits" - Katie Patille
In this episode of Roots and Roofs, Mackenzie sits down with national title expert Katie Patille to talk about burnout, boundaries, and building a business that aligns with your life.
After years of following the traditional real estate playbook—attending every event, chasing every opportunity, and trying to be everything to everyone—Katie found herself exhausted and disconnected from the work she once loved. Her turning point came when she made a bold decision: stop working with people who drained her energy and start focusing on the clients and communities that truly aligned with her values.
The conversation explores the power of niche networking, the rise of AI and technology in real estate, and the importance of setting boundaries that protect both your business and your family. Katie also shares practical advice for moms in real estate, reminding listeners that there isn't one formula for success—only the one that works for you.
This episode is a powerful reminder that growth doesn't come from doing more. It comes from doing what fits.
