Thrive & Inspire ’24: For Mahlstedt, ‘Sincere Desire to Help People’ Is Key

WHAT'S THE SECRET to running a successful business? Achieving success as a Realtor requires unwavering dedication and continuous effort. The industry is evolving to be more technology-driven and is much more competitive. To thrive in this ever-changing landscape and establish a strong brand, you must truly care about the end result and possess a sincere desire to help people. Moreover, it’s not a solo journey; I am fortunate to have a diligent team that works long hours and a firm, Compass, which provides the support necessary to be a top producer.
What’s unique about your approach or your mission? My personal mission statement is “Work hard and be nice.” My reputation is paramount for future success, so my goal is to be respectful and available at all times. I train my team to do the same, so the client sees their transaction being handled by professionals who work closely together on their behalf. I want them to feel more than satisfied with the service I have provided and the knowledge I’ve conveyed. It’s such an achievement to have clients refer me to their friends and family and to continue to call me first when they are buying or selling their second or third house as their needs change.
Who or what inspires you as you seek to reach greater heights of success? Every day, my sons serve as my source of inspiration, motivating me to strive for excellence and provide a comfortable life for our family. My parents have been my lifelong role models, instilling in me a profound work ethic and a strong sense of support. It is my sincere hope to impart these same values to my boys, carrying forward the legacy of hard work and support that my parents instilled in me.

Mar. 8, 2024
WHAT ARE YOU doing to forever change the landscape of Houston Luxury Real Estate? Houston Real Estate has been so boring for so long….there’s no flavor or excitement when it comes to Houston Luxury Real Estate. I’m here to change that!
How Exactly are you going to do that? What Exactly do you mean by “boring?” For the longest time, the finest homes in Houston have mainly been showcased on the MLS and in ads in magazines with photography, pricing and the brokerage/ agent contact information. There has been no excitement created about the most beautiful properties in Texas, if not the United States many of which are located right here in Houston, Texas!
How do you intend to create excitement around Houston Luxury Homes? Well around the advent of social media and digital marketing the Houston scene has long been awaiting for a champion to emerge who will create an aura of excitement for the finest homes in Houston Texas and I am doing this through powerful and captivating content which really not only showcases the finest homes in Houston, but also excites and entertains the viewers from all over the world.
Where are these viewers from and how do they find you? I’m targeting a massive audience from not only various parts of the United States, but also around the world. Many of the people in my Audience follow me through every social media platform including Facebook, TikTok, YouTube, LinkedIn, X (Formerly known as Twitter), Threads, and of course Instagram. Furthermore, I have spent a lot of time developing the premier website for luxury homes in Houston, Texas which is HoustonLuxuryRealEstate.com
What do you do that makes you different from the ocean of Luxury Real Estate Agents in Houston? First and foremost, my creativity and online digital presence far supersedes any real estate agents in Houston. I’ve completely focused on building an online brand and strong digital presence during the last 10 years of my real estate career, and for this reason there are over 350,000 people following me through all of my digital mediums. I’ve focused on building a brand on social media and this powerful online presence benefits my clients by bringing a new level of awareness and attention to their properties on a massive and global scale.
Any Final thoughts? Check me out on your favorite social media platform. I’m on all of them and I’d really love to connect with you. Also, please check out the premier website for luxury homes in Houston, Texas which is HoustonLuxuryRealEstate.com and I’d love to connect with you and assist you with all of your real estate needs!
