BUILD WHAT THEY SAID YOU COULDN'T!

🎙 REAL ESTATE DEVELOPER DISCUSSIONS WITH KATIE KIM 🎙
EPISODE 0: BUILD WHAT THEY SAID YOU COULDN’T

If you think real estate development is just numbers and blueprints, think again.

Episode 0 of Real Estate Developer Discussions with Katie Kim isn’t just a launch—it’s an invitation into the room! Katie Kim strips the fluff and shares the real story: growing up on job sites, climbing the corporate ladder, walking away, and building a business that’s closed $170M+ in deals to date —and changed communities in the process – from launching The Kim Group, The Real Estate Development Academy, The Development Collective and now this podcast.

She lays out the Developer’s Five—the hard questions every developer has to face—and answers them herself: the deal that almost broke her during COVID, the moments faith mattered more than spreadsheets, and the non-negotiables she uses now to protect her legacy.

Katie Kim's unfiltered origin story - from pouring concrete with her dad to rewriting the rules of real estate. This is where underdogs become builders - developers!

🎧 If you’ve been sitting on the sidelines, here’s your sign: you don’t need permission. You need your first step. Write your own permission slip. Let’s Go!
