From Finance to Phoenix Focus: Courtney Bullock’s Rookie Real Estate Success

📝 Description
In this episode of My First Commission from Unlocking Real Estate by Colibri Real Estate, we speak with Courtney Bullock, a Arizona native with a 25‑year finance career turned RE/MAX Cornerstone agent in Cave Creek/Phoenix. After transitioning into real estate in 2023, Courtney was named an RISMedia Rookie of the Year finalist and quickly turned her organization and people skills into a successful real estate practice.

She dives into:

What motivated her to leave a stable finance job and launch a new career

How she partnered with community and education to build trust during her pivot

Her first sales experiences, including land & luxury listings across Phoenix-area neighborhoods

The role follow‑through, checklists, and consistent client care have played in growing her referral base

Whether you’re shifting careers or starting fresh in real estate, Courtney’s story offers real, practical inspiration for making your first mark in the market.
