From Banking to Breaking Hearts (Zillow Era) to Luxury Real Estate Success | Michelle Mayo on Realty Talk

Welcome back to Realty Talk — your favorite real estate podcast on the planet 🌎

This week, Susanne Seini (Founder & CEO of Innovate Realty) and Paul “Fix It All” Hanson sit down with Innovate agent Michelle Mayo for a candid, fun, and inspiring conversation.

We kick things off with:

• Super Bowl halftime hot takes 🎤🏈

• Streaker marketing strategies (yes, really 😂)

• Waste Management Open chaos ⛳

• A wild golf playoff moment featuring Hideki Matsuyama

Then we dive into the real story…

Michelle shares:

• Her journey from Florida banking to California real estate

• What it was like representing Zillow during the wild 2021 market (and breaking 20 buyers’ hearts at once 💔)

• How she transitioned into the luxury space without being “20 years in”

• Why integrity and confidence are everything in today’s market

• What she’s seeing now with serious buyer traffic at higher price points

Plus, a real estate story that ends with the ultimate Valentine’s flex… buying a house. 🏡❤️

If you're an agent trying to level up, a buyer watching the market shift, or just here for the laughs — this episode hits all of it.
