Episode Description

How One Big Bet Changed Everything

In the world of real estate, there are moments that define the future. For Laurie Kemp, that moment came when she decided to leave behind a successful legal career and step fully into the family business. What started as a title agency with one office has grown into a multi-location powerhouse serving Kentucky and Indiana. Her decision wasn’t just a career move—it was a turning point that shaped the company’s trajectory.

Betting on Growth and Community

Laurie shares how strategic expansion—from rebranding to acquiring new offices—helped build momentum (literally). But what makes her story stand out isn’t just the business growth. It’s the way she and her team have built their company around ethical service, community involvement, and strong local partnerships. From volunteering with youth programs to partnering with builders and agents, she shows how purpose can drive growth.

Lessons From the Housing Rollercoaster

In this episode, Laurie and Coach Carroll dig into the ups and downs of the housing market—from the wild frenzy of 2021 to steady regional growth today. They talk interest rates, inventory, and why steady beats volatile in the long game. But if you want to hear her take on real estate strategy, investing, and a few jaw-dropping legal stories from her past… you’ll have to watch the full episode.
