From Foster Care to Million-Dollar Agent: June Lemmings on Real Estate & Resilience
Season 3 Episode 13
In this episode of Women of Wealth…
We sit down with award-winning real estate agent and team leader June Lemmings, the powerhouse behind June’s Team with Keller Williams Realty in Greeley, Colorado. From a childhood spent in a burnout trailer with no electricity to becoming a foster child with $100 and three jobs, June’s story is one of radical resilience, relentless work ethic, and using real estate as a path to true generational wealth.
June shares how she rebuilt her life, repaired her credit, and learned real estate “from the backside in” working with an investor–then turned that knowledge into a top-performing team built on relationships, referrals, and community impact, not cold leads. She opens up about winning Best of Greeley, Colorado multiple years in a row, what it really takes to create a winning team culture, and why she’d rather pour into her past clients than pay for online leads.
For women who are first-time homebuyers, entrepreneurs, or simply curious about using real estate as a wealth vehicle, June breaks down practical strategies—from buying your first home, to house hacking with duplexes, to using DSCR loans and smart credit rebuilding to get in the game sooner than you think. She also gets real about balance, what happened when she lost 120 pounds, and why delegation, boundaries, and a strong morning routine have been key to sustaining seven-figure success.
In This Episode, You’ll Hear:
- How June learned real estate through investment properties first, and why that shaped her passion for generational wealth.
- Why 86% of her business comes from past clients—and how client events, VIP experiences, and genuine relationships outperform internet leads.
- The culture equation behind June’s team: high standards, positivity, continuous growth (“green and growing, not ripe and rotten”), and the golden rule.
- Practical ideas for community-based marketing: seasonal events, charity tables, local women-in-business groups, and creating experiences your clients never forget.
- How June teaches first-time homebuyers to prepare: credit rebuilding, financial peace principles, and matching the right lender and loan product to each person.
- A simple breakdown of house hacking and DSCR loans—including examples of clients who went from first home to multiple rentals and no house payment.
- June’s honest take on 50-year mortgages, refinancing, and how to think long-term about interest, payments, and wealth building.
- The truth about balance as a single mom and business owner, why her health suffered, and how losing 120 pounds and prioritizing her morning routine changed everything.
- A powerful mindset reframe around time, delegation, and hiring your first assistant so you can double your impact without burning out.
- June’s favorite money book, Secrets of the Millionaire Mind, and her core belief that anyone can build wealth if they’re willing to learn and take action—no matter where they started.
