Real Estate Mentorship with Philippa Main

Learn from Experience. Grow with Guidance. Succeed with Confidence.

If you’re a Realtor in Virginia or Florida and ready to elevate your real estate career, my mentorship program is designed to help you achieve measurable, lasting success.

With over eleven years in the real estate industry and eight years of hands-on experience, plus 175+ five-star client reviews and a reputation for integrity and client satisfaction, I’ve built a business rooted in skill, strategy, and service. Now, I’m here to help you do the same.

There is no upfront cost to the program. Rather, you pay a percentage of your commission on three sales (your first two buyer sides and your first seller side, not counting any personally owned residences).

Offered Through Samson Properties

My mentorship is currently offered through the Samson Properties Mentorship Program and is available for agents licensed in Virginia or Florida. As your mentor, I’ll help you navigate the practical, personal, and professional sides of real estate - from contract confidence to client communication - with real-world guidance you can actually use. Although this program is currently offered through my brokerage for agents who join Samson Properties, I welcome inquiries from agents at other offices who are interested in learning more, so please don’t hesitate to reach out to me directly to discuss potential options.

Who This Program Is For

I work with both part-time and full-time agents. What matters most isn’t how many hours you have, but how committed you are to making those hours count. This program is intended for newer agents, but if you’ve been in the business for a while and could use a fresh perspective, or if you’ve recently transitioned to a new state and want to get up to speed on best practices and market nuances, let's chat about whether this program is right for you.

If you’re serious about building a sustainable real estate business, I’ll meet you where you are and help you grow strategically and efficiently.

However, if real estate is something you plan to do only when it’s convenient, as a casual side hobby or something you’ll “fit in when you have time," then this mentorship likely isn’t the right fit. My program is designed for agents who are ready to treat real estate like a business, even if they’re balancing family life, another job, or other responsibilities.

Real-World Experience, Real Results

This mentorship isn’t just about theory, it’s also about applying real-world knowledge to real situations. I work side-by-side with my mentees to help them gain the experience and expertise that only comes from hands-on practice.

Here are a few examples of what I’ve helped mentees with:

Shadowing in Action: Invited mentees to shadow me at home inspections so they could learn what to look for, how to communicate findings, and how to keep clients calm and informed.
Explaining Clearly: Walked mentees through how to translate technical inspection details and contract clauses into plain language their clients understand, without alarming or misleading them.
Setting Client Expectations: Guided agents through conversations with clients, helping them explain the legal and financial realities professionally and confidently.
Negotiation Coaching: Taught mentees how to recognize when to push and when to step back during negotiations, and how to help clients understand what’s reasonable to ask for versus what might risk losing the deal.
Maximizing Open Houses: Trained agents on how to properly plan and host open houses to maximize visibility, attract new leads, and turn casual visitors into potential clients and future business.
Navigating Complex Transactions: Supported a mentee through an international sale where time zones, documentation requirements, and communication delays made coordination tricky, teaching how to stay organized and proactive.
Reducing Liability: Coached mentees on how to phrase sensitive communications to minimize risk and maintain professionalism in writing and conversation.
Understanding Legal Nuance: Explained how specific contract terms or laws actually apply to their client’s situation, bridging the gap between textbook knowledge and real-world application.
Avoiding Costly Mistakes: Helped agents avoid overpromising or misrepresenting details that could lead to financial or reputational damage down the road.

These experiences teach what no classroom can: how to think like a professional, communicate like a pro, and protect both your clients and your career.

What You’ll Learn with the Realtor Mentorship Program

Why Work With Philippa Main as Your Real Estate Mentor

I know firsthand how overwhelming real estate can feel, but as someone who has sold over $100 million of real estate, I also know how powerful it becomes once you have the right tools, mindset, and mentor. My approach isn’t about cookie-cutter scripts or high-pressure tactics. It’s about helping you build a business that feels authentic, professional, and profitable.
