Real estate raised me.
The stage came first.
I was going to be a lawyer.
A lockdown gig became the career.
I thought it was a marketing job.
Compass is where it got serious.
Then I went to the tech side.
I kept working on the DL.
The timing was almost suspicious.
I became obsessed with the question:
I asked them to stand with me.
My whole house is in the industry.
Which brings us to now.
A single mom raising three kids, building a life for our family through real estate. I was raised on Saturday open houses instead of cartoons.
Four years of thespian society and speech and debate, poetry club, a national dance title. Performance, persuasion and story, which is the entire job description.
Political science, a communications minor, a 4.0 and a straight line toward law school. Then the pandemic happened and school finished from my bedroom.
A marketing coordinator role at a brokerage, taken while I finished my degree remotely. It went full time, and the plan quietly changed.
What I found instead was a laboratory for what actually makes a top producer.
Compass's first hire when the 30A office opened. My roster was mostly 30A teams, with a couple in Jacksonville and South Miami.
Luxury Presence, the leading proptech in real estate, where SEO and AI stopped being buzzwords and turned into levers I know how to pull.
The agents I had advised at Compass already knew what the work did for their business, and they kept calling. I kept answering.
Leaving Luxury Presence, I went looking. An ancestry search turned up two great-grandmothers named Maude, one on each side of the family. Same name, both sides, right as I needed one. I stopped arguing with the timing and put it on the door.
Why do some agents become the obvious choice while others stay invisible?
Team Citron, Kendall Hood, Sexton and Mock. The OGs, and the reason Maude House launched in 2025 with a roster already on it.
My mother is managing broker and senior sales manager for Compass 30A, my sounding board and my guru. My husband is at Luxury Presence and my best friend. I figure it out for everyone else, and he is the one who helps me figure out mine.
The brokerage floor, the technology that runs it, and everything above. Today, Maude House helps ambitious agents and teams turn industry expertise into market authority.
