Weekly discovery call: Every Wednesday | 10:00 AM Eastern
Nancy Built a Career in Real Estate That Changed Her Life. She Has Spent 30 Years Helping Others Do the Same.
Nancy Deichman did not inherit a real estate business. She built one.
In 1996, she became president and co-owner of RE/MAX Premier Realty in Ocala. She had already built her own career as a real estate agent, grown a sphere of influence across central Florida, and made a decision: she was going to create the highest producing real estate company in the Marion, Lake, and Sumter County area. And she did.
Read Nancy's story
Thirty years later, RE/MAX Premier Realty operates across multiple offices in three of the most active markets in north-central Florida and has helped countless agents build careers, incomes, and lives that looked very different before they made the call.
Nancy is still here. Still working the markets. Still recruiting. And still personally invested in the success of every agent who joins her team.
She is looking for two kinds of people. Those who have been thinking about real estate as a career and want to make the move the right way, with the right support behind them from day one. And agents who are already licensed and working, but feel like they are doing it largely alone, without the leads, the training, or the professional environment they deserve.
If either of those descriptions sounds familiar, the weekly discovery call is where the conversation starts.

You know how to work a deal. What you may not have is a broker who answers, an office to bring a client to, or leads that show up without you buying them. See what changes when you move.
See the agents pageTeaching, and resenting the math?
You explain hard things to nervous people, manage thirty personalities and a stack of deadlines, and every family in town knows your name. Those skills pay differently in real estate.

Calm in a code, every detail charted, trusted by strangers on sight. Get licensed on your off days, keep your income through the move, and own what you build.
See the nurses pageServing, and building someone else's business?
You read a table in seconds, recover a bad moment before it becomes a bad review, and half the town knows your face. Get licensed around your shifts and own what you build.

Thinking about real estate
Thinking About Making the Move Into Real Estate?
A lot of people spend years with the thought in the back of their mind. What if I tried real estate?
They watch a colleague make the transition. They see the flexibility, the income potential, the idea of building something that is genuinely their own. And they wonder if they have what it takes.
Here is what Nancy has learned after 30 years of building and developing agents: the people who succeed are almost never the ones who came in knowing the most about real estate. They are the ones who came in knowing how to take care of people.
If you have spent your career in service, hospitality, healthcare, or education, you already have that. The market knowledge, the contracts, the systems: those come with time and the right support. The instinct to put your client first and see them through something important is what Nancy is actually looking for.
Real estate is a career you can build on your own timeline. Many agents on Nancy's team started while still working in their previous careers, learning the business and building their foundation before fully stepping into it. What matters is the intention to grow it into something real. Nancy is here to help you figure out what that path looks like for you.
The Skills You Already Have
Hospitality and service industry
You have navigated demanding situations, solved problems in real time, and kept people happy when things got complicated. Those same qualities, staying composed, communicating clearly, and finding a way to make it work, are exactly what buyers and sellers need from the person guiding them through one of the biggest decisions of their lives.
Hospitality pageTeaching
You break down complex information so it makes sense. You manage relationships, timelines, and expectations with many people at once. You know how to stay patient when things get frustrating. In real estate, those skills close transactions.
Teachers pageNursing and healthcare
You build trust quickly. You stay calm when the stakes are high. You keep your focus on the person in front of you even when there is a lot going on behind the scenes. Clients remember agents who made them feel cared for. That is what you have been doing your whole career.
Nurses pageAny service-oriented background
If your work has been about genuinely taking care of other people, you already have the most important quality in real estate. The market knowledge, the contracts, the negotiation strategies: those can be learned. How to make a client feel safe and well represented is something Nancy looks for, and cannot teach.

Not licensed yet?
Getting Your License and Hanging With RE/MAX Premier Realty
If you do not yet have your Florida real estate license, that is where the journey begins, and Nancy will help you navigate every step of it.
Getting licensed is a meaningful commitment. There is coursework, an exam, and a process that takes real focus and intention. Nancy will not minimize that. What she will do is make sure you understand exactly what the path looks like, point you toward the right preparation resources, and answer every question along the way so that nothing catches you off guard.
When you pass your exam and earn your license, you hang it with RE/MAX Premier Realty. From that point forward, you are not figuring it out alone. You have the full infrastructure of RE/MAX Premier Realty behind you: the offices, the training, the brand, and a team that is genuinely invested in your success.
The path to getting there is worth taking. And you do not have to take it by yourself.
1
Coursework, at your pace
Nancy points you to the right preparation resources and tells you exactly what to expect.
2
The state exam
Real focus, real intention, and no surprises, because you'll know what's coming.
3
You hang your license here
The moment the business begins. Offices, training, brand, and a team behind you from day one.
Already licensed
Already Licensed? You Might Just Be at the Wrong Brokerage.
Not every agent who is struggling is struggling because of something they are doing wrong.
Some brokerages sign agents up and then largely leave them alone. No real training cadence. No leads coming in. No office to bring a client to. Just a split arrangement and a lot of hope that things will come together on their own.
If you got into real estate because you were excited about the career and it has not felt that way since, it is worth asking whether the environment you are in is actually set up for you to succeed, or whether you have been working harder than necessary just to compensate for the lack of support around you.
RE/MAX Premier Realty is built differently. Brick and mortar offices across three markets. Real training for agents at every stage, not just onboarding. A team that communicates and collaborates. Leads and resources that help you build a pipeline instead of building one entirely from scratch. And Nancy, who has been doing this since 1996 and is still personally involved in the success of every agent on her team.
Switching brokerages is a meaningful decision and Nancy does not take that lightly. The weekly discovery call is a no-pressure way to hear how RE/MAX Premier Realty actually operates and ask Nancy honest questions. If you want to talk privately afterward, she will make the time.
There is a page written just for experienced agents: what changes when you move, side by side, and straight answers on onboarding, active deals, and the split.
What agents typically tell Nancy they were missing at their previous brokerage:
- A physical office they could actually use to meet clients professionally
- Consistent lead flow or support in building a pipeline
- Training that went beyond the first 90 days
- Someone they could call when a transaction got complicated
- A team environment where people genuinely supported each other
- A brand that opened doors before they had a track record to show
You should not have to fight your own brokerage just to do your job well.
The support system
What RE/MAX Premier Realty Puts Behind Every Agent
Whether you are brand new to real estate or bringing years of experience with you, this is what you get when you join RE/MAX Premier Realty.
Brick and mortar offices
RE/MAX Premier Realty has real offices across Ocala, The Villages, and Lake County. A professional home base to meet clients, run appointments, and operate as the business owner you are. Not a virtual address. Not a coworking desk. A real office with your name on it.
Training at every stage
Extensive training for new agents getting started and experienced agents looking to grow. You are not handed a license and a desk. You are brought into a system that builds agents who last.
Onboarding and closing support
Whether you are brand new or transferring a license, Nancy's team walks you through onboarding so there is no gap in your business. And when a transaction gets complicated, there is someone to call. Nancy and her executive team help facilitate deals to the closing table.
Direct access to Nancy and the executive team
The people who own the company are the people who answer. Marketing direction, transaction help, resources you do not have yet: you reach the executive team, not a help desk.
Licensing pathway guidance
If you are not yet licensed, Nancy will help you understand the path and navigate it. She will point you toward the right resources, prepare you for what to expect, and be there when you come out the other side ready to hang your license and get to work.
Leads and pipeline support
You are not starting from zero and hoping your phone rings. RE/MAX Premier Realty provides the infrastructure and resources to help you build a pipeline and generate business consistently.
A team that actually communicates
Agents here collaborate and support each other. This is not a brokerage where everyone is competing in silence. Questions get answered. Experience gets shared.
The RE/MAX brand behind you
One of the most recognized names in real estate, nationally and locally. That recognition earns you credibility with buyers and sellers from day one, before you have your own track record to point to.
Where we work
Three Markets. Thirty Years of Local Knowledge.
Marion County
Ocala and Marion County
A growing market with strong relocation demand and diverse inventory. Nancy and her team have deep roots here. For a new agent, that existing network and local knowledge is an advantage that takes years to build on your own. You start with it from day one.
Sumter County
The Villages and Sumter County
One of the most active real estate markets in Florida. High transaction volume, a buyer pool that values trust and relationship, and strong referral business for agents who serve clients well. If you are connected to this community already, your network is your foundation.
Lake County
Lake County and Mount Dora
A boutique market with lakefront properties, established neighborhoods, and growing demand from buyers looking for an alternative to larger metro areas. Agents who invest in this market build loyal client relationships and compounding referrals over time.

The next step
What the Weekly Call Is and What It Is Not
The weekly discovery call is one hour, live with Nancy, every Wednesday morning. You join a small group of people considering the same move you are. Not a sales pitch, not a commitment of any kind.
Nancy walks through what joining RE/MAX Premier Realty looks like in practice: the licensing path, the training, the offices, the leads, and what she looks for in the agents she brings on. Then the floor is open. Ask whatever you want, in the group or one-on-one afterward.
If what you hear feels like a fit, the next step is a private conversation with Nancy. If it does not, you have spent an hour and walked away with a clear answer. She is not interested in the wrong match any more than you are.
For career changers, this call is the beginning of understanding whether real estate is the right next chapter. For agents considering a move, it is a low-key way to see what a different environment looks like before you make any decision.
Either way, it is one hour and it costs you nothing.

Questions
A Few Questions People Ask Before They Book
Do I need a real estate license before I call?
Not at all. Many people who get on the discovery call are still in the early stages of exploring whether real estate is right for them. If you decide to move forward, Nancy will walk you through what the licensing process looks like in Florida, help you find the right preparation resources, and be there when you are ready to hang your license and get started.
I am still working in my current job. Is that a problem?
Not at all. Many agents on Nancy's team made the transition gradually, learning the business and building their foundation while still working in their previous careers. The discovery call is a great place to talk through what that path looks like for your specific situation and timeline.
I am already a licensed agent. Can I still reach out?
Absolutely, and Nancy specifically wants to hear from you. If you are licensed and working but feel like you are not getting the support, the leads, or the professional environment you expected, the weekly discovery call is a no-pressure way to hear what a different brokerage could look like, and Nancy will make time for a private conversation afterward if you want one. Many of RE/MAX Premier Realty's strongest agents came from exactly that situation. Read the page written for licensed agents.
How is RE/MAX Premier Realty different from other brokerages?
Physical offices across three markets. Extensive training for new and experienced agents. A team that actively supports each other. Lead generation resources. And Nancy, who has been in this market since 1996 and is still personally involved in every agent's development. The difference is most visible to agents who have experienced a brokerage that offers very little of the above.
What markets do you cover?
Ocala and Marion County, The Villages and Sumter County, and Lake County including Mount Dora. Wherever you are in north-central Florida, there is likely a market and an office for you here.
