My dad has worked in real estate the majority of my life, and it was never something toward which I felt particularly drawn. One night, I mentioned how fun it would be to show home and his response was that if it was something I’d like to learn more about, I should reach out to his friend who was just starting to build her own team with her husband. That someone was Mallory Brown Bogard. We met for coffee and what was supposed to be a quick introduction turned into a two hour talk about real estate in New York. We had an instant connection and as we were getting up to leave, Mallory recommended that I take the exam and, upon passing, come join her team. Our introductory chat turned into a mentorship, and a guiding light as I began an exciting new career path. Mallory’s drive motivated me and watching a woman succeed at her level was and is really inspiring to watch. I joined the Bogard NY Team in March of 2021, became her Operations Manager in December of 2021 and I haven’t looked back since.

I would love to be able to buy my own home someday. Being in this world, and working with so many people to achieve their dream of homeownership has 100% rubbed off on me. My team is so amazing, I’d love to work with them to achieve this goal. I would also love to continue in my role and reach maximum potential for both myself and the Bogard NY team. We just moved to SERHANT. a new brokerage started by Ryan Serhant, and there are a lot of really incredible opportunities for us, I can’t wait to see what that will bring. 

 

My family is a HUGE inspiration. They mean the world to me and their love, support, and senses of humor have instilled in me such a strong sense of passion and work ethic and to always make sure I love what I do. They always inspire me to keep going and pursuing whatever gives me joy at any moment. Additionally, my mom is a huge inspiration to me. She created her own business when she was in her 20’s and it’s amazing to see everything she has and continues to build.

 

Internally, I’m inspired by the drive to keep improving and growing. I love efficiency and organization. It makes me really happy to be able to create a streamlined process that helps everyone do their best work. 

Definitely! As I just mentioned, my mother is a huge inspiration to me. She is also a really incredible mentor. Even though she’s my mom, she was also my boss for several years. Coming right out of college, I was super green and working with her, I gained invaluable knowledge about how to operate in an office, and how a successful business is run. Mallory is also an incredible mentor. Her guidance through the real estate world is a true gift, and not found very easily. She is such a champion for empowering women and especially women who buy on their own, which is a whole other world. I think that’s also why buying my own property is something I’ve set my sights on. It’s really hard to build financial stability on your own and there’s a lot more security having dual income but doing it all on your own is so exciting and Mallory is really amazing at being there every step of the way for everyone, and especially those first time home buyers doing it for themselves. In addition to watching her work, she is always providing helpful guidance, feedback, and insight. I definitely wouldn’t love what I do so much if it wasn’t for her.

A night out with my boyfriend or my family and friends really helps me recharge as well. I have a rescue dog which has kept me balanced by walking outdoors, and having moments to reset and regroup. I also really like to go boxing, so scheduling those classes in makes me feel really good. Relationships with my boyfriend, my family my friends really helps me as well.
