What does it truly mean to be daring in today’s real estate space?
Is it about taking risks, showing up daily, or pushing forward even when results aren’t immediate?
In Q1, a few standout realtors didn’t just set goals—they went after them with intention, resilience, and bold action. From hosting their first webinars to converting skeptical prospects into paying clients, these individuals embodied what it means to step out of comfort zones and win.
This feature highlights real stories from our Q1 deal closers—individuals who chose consistency over excuses, courage over fear, and action over doubt. Who knows? Your story might be next.
Straight from the desk of Balogun Mutmainnah, the Real Estate Queen and one of our top Q1 closers:
- What was your biggest driving force to close deals in Q1?
I created a target to close 10 deals for Evergreen Farms Phase 1. Creating my own target is one of the reasons why I always showed up every day until I made my first sale.
- What specific action helped you convert a prospect into a paying client (e.g., follow-ups, content, referrals, etc.)?
I created my own strategy, which is educating people. I like to educate people on things I know, and that is why I created my first webinar for undergraduates.
- Can you briefly walk us through one deal you successfully closed?
It wasn't easy, but with the support of my coach and the community lead, Miss Opemipo (DRealtor) at the Daring Tribe group, I was able to organize my first webinar. She was my first speaker and one of the first people who welcomed and encouraged me in the group. She supported me a lot—teaching me how to prospect, how to reply to clients, and motivating me to keep showing up.

- What was the most daring move you took that paid off?
The most daring move I took was securing my first plot of land even when my bank account was telling me not to. This became a strong point of sale for me.
- What challenge did you face, and how did you overcome it?
One challenge I faced was clients hesitating to make payment despite showing interest. I overcame this by creating urgency—letting them know that the land was limited and could be sold out if they delayed payment.
- What one piece of advice would you give realtors looking to close deals in Q2?
Focus on consistent follow-ups and educating clients. Many deals are not closed because realtors stop following up too early. Most clients need time, information, and trust before making payment.
Featuring Samuel Deborah, a Q1 deal closer:
- What specific action helped you convert a prospect into a paying client?
Consistent follow-ups and helping clients see the value of the property played a major role. I stayed in touch with prospects, provided relevant property options, and answered their questions promptly, which helped build trust and confidence.
- Can you briefly walk us through one deal you successfully closed?
I engaged a prospect who was initially undecided. I took time to understand their needs, and Baj Court turned out to be the best option. I showed them suitable options and maintained consistent communication.
I helped the client see the future value—that the property was close to a school and had strong potential. Although the client was concerned about the cost, I helped them focus on the long-term benefits, and after a few days, I closed the deal.
- What was the most daring move you took that paid off?
The most daring move I took was reaching out persistently to a cold lead who initially showed little interest. Through consistent follow-ups and providing value, the lead eventually converted into a paying client.
- What one piece of advice would you give realtors looking to close deals in Q2?
Stay consistent and don’t give up on follow-ups. Many deals are closed through persistence, proper communication, and building genuine relationships with clients.
As we step into Q2, let these stories challenge you to do more, be more, and push beyond your limits. Set your targets, refine your strategies, and most importantly, stay committed to the process.
Your next closed deal could be one decision, one follow-up, or one bold move away.
So the question is… what daring step will you take next?
