Ep.10: Kimberly Prince - A Swinging Success from Real Estate Deals to Pickleball Thrills

When real estate prowess meets pickleball panache, you get Kimberly Prince, whose  entrepreneurial spirit is as fierce as her backhand on the court. In our latest episode, she serves up a volley of wisdom that merges her property dealing savvy with the sheer adrenaline of starting her own pickleball paddle company. Imagine the soundtrack to this adventure is none other than the Foo Fighters, echoing Kimberly's rock-infused journey from bar scenes to business meetings, all while fostering genuine connections and mentorship in what many see as the ruthless world of real estate.

Transitioning into the business sphere can be as daunting as facing down a real estate mogul or perfecting your pickleball serve, but Kimberly navigates it with the finesse of a seasoned pro. She brews inspiration from her sports science background and stirs in lessons from running a brick-and-mortar juice bar, concocting a rich blend of experiences that paved her way into property dealings and eventually, the competitive yet community-centric world of pickleball. Her story isn't just about smashing sales or acing athletic endeavors; it's a testament to the power of diving headfirst into your passions, whether that's mentoring up-and-coming realtors or crafting the perfect pickleball paddle.

Pickleball isn't just a game, it's a culture, and as it rockets toward potential Olympic Games contention, so does the need for more courts and camaraderie within the community. In the same breath, we tackle the teamwork it takes to triumph in business, especially in real estate, where a quick volley of texts or calls can make all the difference. As Kimberly unveils her Americana pickleball line, we're reminded that whether you're sealing property deals or serving up a game point, it's the genuine relationships built along the way that construct the foundation of success. Join us for laughs, lessons, and perhaps even a newfound love for the sport that's got everyone from firefighters to financiers swinging paddles and striking up friendships.
