Decoding Tamra’s Leadership
Tamra’s career stands as an example for many women entrepreneurs who want to follow in her footsteps and mark their presence in the real estate industry. She has been a real estate broker, successful entrepreneur, and inspiring leader in the new home and residential real estate industry for over 23 years. Starting in 1999, her real estate career has grown from being a new home agent to leading a top-tier real estate brokerage and the #1 RE/MAX team in Georgia for over 10 consecutive years.
As a woman leader, Tamra has overcome many hurdles and accomplished milestones at every step of her journey. Every woman leader possesses some ideal qualities that make them successful and inspirational. According to Tamra, every woman in the workplace must be visionary as this quality helps to move the company forward. Successful companies often have strong, ambitious leaders who can foresee market trends, adapt, and make strategic decisions that drive the company forward.
In addition, companies that continuously innovate and adapt to new technologies, customer needs, and market demands tend to thrive in the long run. They are not afraid to embrace change and disrupt their business models to stay ahead of the competition. This makes it a leading and dynamic company that is spearheaded by a fearless leader.
Tamra shares a piece of advice for aspiring women entrepreneurs, “There is so much opportunity to be had. Whether you are looking for it financially, spiritually, in business, or personally. You can have it all if you put your heart and time into it. Failure will happen but it is how you get back up, learn from the failure, and move forward.”
Tamra: A Team Player
As a founder and leader, Tamra has a close-knit team that she is extremely fond of. She guides her employees through the many crests and troughs they face and provides them with the autonomy to make decisions. She makes it a point to tell them that she trusts them and has their back always.
When personal situations come up that are outside of the company’s agent and employee handbooks, she works to find a solution that is a win-win for all that are involved. She loves to see people grow and she always wants everyone to know there are growth opportunities. And, if they scratch her back, she will scratch theirs. The skies are the limit.
Up and Close with Tamra
As an established woman entrepreneur, leader, and business owner, Tamra shares some key insights about her career, women empowerment, finding inspiration, striking a chord with work-life balance, and more.
Biggest Challenge in Tamra’s career: My biggest challenge has been failure and how to overcome it. I am very competitive and success is very important to me. I had to realize that there are things in my control and things that are not. I need to control what I can and make sure I am doing it to the best of my ability. I realize that some things are not me.
Women’s Inclusion and Empowerment: It is our culture. We support each other. We are friends. We push each other when we need pushing. We love each other when love is needed.
Definition of Feminism: My definition is equality for men and more. A woman has the right and opportunity to be whoever she wants to be. A woman should be independent and strong.
Source of Inspiration: I have several people that inspire me but one from my childhood is Princess Diana. She was graceful, beautiful, strong, giving, smart, and loyal. She made an impression on people and she will never be forgotten.
Work-Life Balance: Beyond the cabin life, ensuring a work-life balance has been a challenge and it has taken me many years to learn. I still struggle with it to this day. I have to remind myself that this is important not only for my family and my health but for my company and those that need me in various ways. I work out early in the morning and get it done so I can get going with my day. I am the cheer coach for my daughter so I can ensure I am there even when work has demands on me. I travel with my husband and children 3 to 4 times a year and I dedicate my time to them.
Notable Testimonials
- Brandon Woodard
“Rashida Price with the Tamra Wade Team/RE/MAX was extraordinary! My wife and I met with other representatives from Contracting/Real Estate companies and by far Rashida was the most hospitable, sincere, and honest professional we came across during our home search. She took her time to go over the available homes and what each one offers. Rashida is not about making a sale; she’s about taking a journey with our family to fulfill our dreams of homeownership in Georgia.”
- John Meeks
“On the spur of the moment, we decided to buy a new house. We were fortunate enough to have Ashley Bennett from the Tamra Wade Team/RE/MAX as our sales agent. Ashley was attentive, most agreeable, and went to great lengths to be sure our needs were met. She took all the worries and stress out of buying a new home. We highly recommend Ashley if you are buying a home!”
