This episode of The Reveal Podcast is an absolute masterclass! Join your host Jessica Nieto in an incredible conversation with real estate veteran Marguerite Crespillo. Marguerite has been in the real estate industry for 30 years and has helped over 4,000 families buy and sell homes. Marguerite shares her journey from barely graduating high school to becoming a top-producing real estate agent, coach, podcaster, and author—all while raising six children and now eight grandchildren.

Marguerite’s life has been shaped by resilience and the drive to "figure stuff out," a lesson instilled in her by her mother. As the author of the bestselling book 100 Things I Love About You—which details her 33-year marriage to her husband Joe—Marguerite shares how she built a lifetime business helping generations of families build wealth through real estate.

Key Takeaways from the Episode:

1. Building a Business Around Your Life: Marguerite emphasizes the importance of creating a life you love—one that doesn’t revolve solely around work. She shares how, after losing her eldest son and nearly losing her marriage to the grind of real estate, she rebuilt her career with boundaries and systems that allowed her to be present for her family.
2. Resilience and Growth: Marguerite’s success didn’t come easily—she tried (and was fired from) countless jobs before discovering her passion for real estate. She explains how each of those failures became stepping stones to her true calling: helping others realize their potential and live fulfilling lives.
3. The Power of Relationships: After three decades in the industry, Marguerite is now serving the children and grandchildren of her original clients—a true testament to the lasting impact of building meaningful, long-term relationships in real estate.
4. Living with Purpose: Marguerite’s mission is to help real estate professionals understand that they don’t have to sacrifice their personal lives for success. She advocates for setting boundaries, creating systems, and focusing on what’s most important—family, health, and joy.

Marguerite’s story is one of overcoming adversity, finding balance, and creating a sustainable business model that doesn’t sacrifice what matters most. Whether you’re a new entrepreneur or a seasoned real estate professional, this episode is packed with wisdom on how to build a thriving business without losing yourself in the process.
