ENNIS & WAXAHACHIE, TX — CENTURY 21 Judge Fite Company announces the appointment of Carla Smith as regional sales manager.
Smith brings a unique perspective to her leadership role, having entered the real estate industry later in life and successfully built her business from the ground up. Shaped by determination, consistency and a commitment to building relationships, her personal journey positions her to guide real estate professionals at every stage of their careers.
“What excites me most is the opportunity to support and empower agents in a meaningful way,” said Smith. “I understand what it feels like to start fresh, build confidence and grow a business from the ground up, and I’m passionate about helping others do the same.”
“Carla grew her business from scratch and brings that same grit and empathy to leading others,” said Bill Steddum, district sales manager. “She’s the kind of manager agents can truly trust and rely on.”
As regional sales manager, Smith will focus on helping real estate professionals grow their business while fostering a supportive, collaborative environment.
“I want to be a manager our agents can trust; someone who is approachable and willing to help problem solve,” Smith said. “Whether it’s a listing, business planning or simply encouragement, I want them to know they’re not alone.”
Smith is committed to building a culture centered on relationships, mentorship and growth, helping create an atmosphere where real estate professionals feel equipped to succeed.
“Real estate gave me a second chapter in life, and I’m incredibly grateful,” she added. “I’m passionate about helping others find that same sense of purpose and success, no matter when they start.”
