From Corporate to Real Estate Success: Authentic Growth with Gaby Proctor

Are you still hiding behind polished posts and stock captions? Today we go unfiltered with Austin powerhouse Gabriela “Gabby” Garcia-Proctor—top-producing Realtor®, investor/flipper, podcast host, triathlete, and mama—about building a bilingual personal brand, growing through fear, and creating a business (and life) you don’t need a vacation from.

We cover how Gabby moved from 15 years in corporate media to real estate, why video + podcasting are non-negotiable for your brand, the real dynamics of working with your spouse, using a TC to scale, slow-and-steady rentals, Subject-to investing, and how authenticity filters in the clients who love you. If you’ve been waiting to feel “ready,” this is your nudge: do it scared—do it anyway.
