    2025 - Episode 8 - Work Life Balance with Courtney Randleman

    In this episode, we dive into the elusive concept of work-life balance, especially in the fast-paced world of real estate. Join us as Courtney Randleman, a seasoned realtor and mom of four, shares her journey from chasing the rat race to finding a rhythm that works for her family and business. Discover practical tips on setting boundaries, prioritizing self-care, and building authentic relationships that support both personal and professional growth. Tune in for an inspiring conversation that redefines balance on your own terms. Courtney attended UNC-Charlotte and Peace College which led her to spend a decade in the education field. Although she’s a Cabarrus County native – and Concord will always have a piece of her heart – after visiting Bermuda Run with a college friend Courtney admits she fell in love with Davie County. She knew this where she wanted to settle and quickly made Advance home in 2003. Though Courtney loved educating children, the desire for more flexibility for her own family and the excitement to dive into entrepreneurship led her to real estate. Now Courtney shares her love of education by volunteering at local schools and joining educational organizations while passionately fulfilling her real estate dreams.Before joining the Hillsdale team, Courtney first landed at a national brokerage. She earned the coveted ‘Rookie of the Year’ award from WSRAR during her first year in real estate. Courtney’s family keeps her on her toes and on the go! Courtney has 4 children—Ivy, Harper, Campbell and the littlest—and last— baby Ridge. Courtney also dotes on her adult stepdaughter, Roxy, partner Joseph, and her biggest lifetime supporter, Grannie Annie (mom)! She also loves Wolfpack football, entertaining, and keeping up with golf! When she isn’t busy with school activities, Courtney loves to hit the road, spending long weekends at her family’s beach home or catching a flight or cruise to explore a new destination! Courtney is a girl on the go! And when she goes, there’s nothing she loves more than scouting out a small, local coffee shop along the way. She runs on ‘car-ffeine’ (caffeine in the car, of course) and Jesus.Social Media Links: Instagram- @closedwithcourtneyFacebook- https://www.facebook.com/CourtneyRandlemanRealEstate
