Are you ready to launch your real estate career to the next level?

‼️You’ve completed the professional requirements and passed the real estate exam, but now you need to figure out the practical steps and day-to-day processes to transform the "idea" of it into an actual career.

‼️You feel a little stuck. You've made a few inroads, but you're not closing deals, and you realize that more leads-- if they were good leads-- could help you reach your goals.

‼️You have a family. You want to succeed, and you're willing to "do the work."  But, you don't want to lose your personal life and the people that matter the most in the process. 

‼️You thought your broker / agency would provide you with leads (they said they would), but you quickly learned that as the "newbie" they don't give you the best leads... they give you the stuff everyone else has picked over...

‼️You thought you might receive more "on the job training" than you got... and now you need to make it work (especially after passing that exam).

‼️You love the freedom and flexibility a career in real estate offers, but the training needs to "hit quick" and it needs to work.

Let's do this!

I'm Marilyn Dumpson

I'm a licensed instructor for the State of Alabama. I'm a broker and Vice President of the Alabama Real Estate Education Association (AREEA).

I love this industry!

I help people who want to be agents become agents, I help agents "level up" their career, and I serve people in the industry every single day.

But that wasn't always the case.

I failed the licensing exam SIX TIMES before I passed. And, my test scores continued (with each subsequent attempt) going DOWN.

On the SEVENTH try, I passed.

I had to make up a lot of ground after that. Waiting tables and doing whatever I had to do in order to make ends meet as a single Mom ended as soon as I began selling. 

After making a full-time income from July through December that first year (the only months I was licensed), I saw how great of an industry this can be. I want to help you but sharing the hacks I wish I had. 

Five of the many things you'll learn


🔗 #1 = How to decide which agents and brokers to partner with— including the differences to look for.

One size doesn’t fit all. There are different types of leaders who run their organizations in different ways. In this module, you’ll learn what to look for— based on your learning style, how much help you want/need, and what expertise you need FROM your broker.

Remember, they’re not only interviewing you— you’re interviewing them!

🏠 #2 = Understanding who you’re going to sell a home to…

I'll show you FOUR different types of buyers, highlights the differences in each of them, and show you know to quickly know a few things, including—

▶ who they are

▶ what they need

▶  how to serve them best

▶ how to serve them in such a way that they refer you AND keep going back to you themselves

⚛️ #3 = The importance of networking…

… but knowing how to do it (and where to do it) without wasting your precious time.

You’ll discover the benefits of working with a different bankers, contractors, appraisers, mortgage companies… and even other agents.

A lot of people either overlook this altogether OR they spend their time doing nothing except networking. I'll show you the helps and hacks I learned... 

... so you can make this a win-win for you AND them, as well as leverage your time in unique ways to serve you, the buyer, your sellers, and the professionals who help you move your transactions along.

✏️ #4 = The “paperwork” side of it

Even if you go “all digital” (hint: some of your clients will STILL want to see paper— not just screens and iPads and phones), you STILL need to know how to create a filing system that works…

Learning how to manage the workflow of it all will set you apart from other agents.

And, remember, most of your transactions will not be "you and you." They'll involve other agents. You'll become someone buyers, sellers, brokers, and other agents want to work with.

🗓️⏰ #5 = The perfect day…

Most people spend more time planning a vacation than they do planning their LIFE…

… and they spend more time deciding what they’ll wear to work than they do determining what to do when they show up and go “on the clock.”

With a little planning, you can get GREAT results and “win” every single day.

What Others Say

Ahmad Elnaham

I am excited to share my experience with Ms. Marylin during my real estate course.

From day one, her deep understanding of the industry and passion for teaching made learning enjoyable and accessible.

Marylin was always available for questions, offering personalized guidance and real-world examples that brought the material to life. She fostered a collaborative classroom environment, encouraging discussions that enhanced our understanding and built a strong sense of community.

Thanks to her exceptional support, I feel well-prepared to excel as a realtor and grow my business.

I highly recommend Marylin to anyone looking to gain practical insights in real estate!

Shelby Carmichael

I had tried to get into real estate for over a year and I had taken 3 different courses in order to become a realtor. I struggled in my classes and could never pass my state exam, I took it around 8 times and it was like nothing was clicking.

That was all until I took Mrs. Dumpson’s class.

I was so discouraged when I first came to her class, I just had experienced so much failure and was expecting to fail again. I even told her that and she told me “I’m not going to let you” and she kept her word. I passed her class and shorty after went to take my state exam and passed on my first try!

My career is taking off because she has given me the knowledge and building blocks I needed in order to succeed.

Thank you, Marilyn!

More about this on-demand training


After failing the real estate licensing exam multiple times, I passed. Then, I went on— working just 6 months during her first year— to receive “Rookie of the Year” status.

In this on-demand course, I walk you step-by-step through the SAME system I developed to reach real estate success while working herself out of her waitressing job, managing a household as a single mom, and juggling all the other things…

Today, I serve as a managing broker for a local agency in the Birmingham, Alabama area.

And, I handle multiples deals at a time— for myself— while ALSO encouraging, equipping, and empowering my agents.

But one of my greatest passions is to help others find success in this GREAT industry, the career-path that helped me achieve financial freedom so I could focus more on the things she loves the most.

Latara Shontae

My advice to anyone... don’t wait. Stay focused. No distractions. Cut out anything that’s not real estate. Listen, pay attention, and trust the process.

Just last week, I closed on my first deal, and she was there with me every step of the way. She helped me through the entire process.

She has pushed me to higher heights...  and helped me grow not just in my business—but personally and spiritually, too.

I give her academy 10 stars!

Kathryn Estrada

I met Mrs Marlyn back in March of 2024. Once I step foot in her classroom her positive energy took over, and I automatically had a different mindset of things.

I am truly thankful that God crossed our paths because she is a big part of my success today and why I feel more confident as a Real Estate Agent.

I 100% recommend her as an instructor and mentor because even though I don’t work at her brokerage, she still goes out of her way to answer all my questions.

Lorenzo Perry

Having Marilyn as a mentor has not only helped me grow in real estate but also in life. She teaches with patience, integrity, and a deep understanding of the industry.

Thanks to her guidance, I’ve been able to navigate challenges with confidence and build a strong foundation for my business.

If you’re looking for someone who will genuinely invest in your success and push you to be your best, Marilyn is the person you want in your corner.
