For most college students, juggling classes, exams, and campus life is a full-time job. But for two driven undergrads at the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville, real estate is more than a side hustle—it’s the beginning of a purpose-filled career.
At just 18 and 19 years old, these freshman and sophomore agents are stepping boldly into the industry, proving that ambition knows no age. Under Brigette Waits-Garcia’s mentorship at eXp Realty, they’re not only learning contracts and comps—they’re getting hands-on experience in strategic marketing, client service, and entrepreneurship.
“This isn’t about selling homes—it’s about building a brand, understanding buyer psychology, and delivering results with integrity,” Brigette says. “These students bring fresh energy and a hunger to learn. I’m here to guide them through the business side with systems, strategy, and heart.”
As the COO of PH Companies and a REALTOR® with a proven track record in residential and commercial markets, Brigette’s approach blends operational excellence with real-world insight. She’s built a culture that champions personal growth, and these young agents are already getting a taste of what’s possible when talent meets mentorship.
Both students are gaining exposure to everything from digital content creation to negotiating with confidence. Brigette’s goal? Equip them to not just close deals—but to think like entrepreneurs, show up with professionalism, and create lasting impact.
Real estate isn’t just a career path—it’s a launchpad. And for these University of Arkansas students, that journey starts now.
