It’s so exciting to bring Bright Ideas to life, and I’m pumped to share Episode 1 with my friend, Mahriah Tucker.
Mahriah is a member of the Realtors of the Palm Beaches and Greater Fort Lauderdale and is a top producing agent Compass Florida LLC in Boca Raton, FL. Mahriah’s extensive real estate career actually began in corporate banking where she worked as Vice President of Residential and Commercial Real Estate for over 10 years. Mahriah’s experience managing, servicing, and liquidating bank-owned real estate portfolios paved the way for real estate success when she became a real estate agent in 2016.
Take some time to watch Episode 1 of Bright Ideas as Mahriah and I discuss not only her career path, but also some of the challenges she had to overcome in her adolescence. “Peoples’ switches flip at different times,” Mahriah said. “My switch flipped at a young age. I wanted to start living a life that was different than the one I was brought up in. However long it takes to get to where you want to get to, just do it.”
We talk a lot about schedules and expectations – what dictates your future and who you allow to impart their agenda or vision for your life. “Our thoughts came from us,” she says. “We didn’t grow up with these screens and constant pressures.” #geriatricmillennial
As many people make their own career transitions, Mahriah talks about the most important characteristics to being a real estate agent/professional in today’s world. From personality traits to dedication, Mahriah talks extensively about her passion for helping others – human or otherwise.
Mahriah’s biggest piece of advice for those who are struggling is, “Find your joy and go for it. Take a step back and do what you have to do in order to take the next baby step forward. And just keep repeating that process until you get where you want to be.”
We talk about having kids and legacy, and what’s important in life.
Mahriah is a native Floridian and graduate of Florida Atlantic University. Her local knowledge of the south Florida market has been instrumental to her great success. Mahriah is an avid animal lover who spends much of her spare time with her rescue dogs Marti and Mellie. Mahriah’s family, pets, and love of helping others make their real estate dreams become a reality is her passion in life.

Education is the most important part of business. I chose to pursue a bachelors degree and two masters degrees because, for me, this was a logical progression and fit into my style of learning. It was also a requirement of the career I thought I wanted. But education doesn’t have to be formal education, earned at a college or university. As they say, “Different strokes for different folks.”
I believe that we, as humans, are constantly learning – from birth, until the day we die. I see education as a tenet of humanity; and the moment we stop learning, we cease to be human. Whether in our personal or professional lives, learning something new, meeting someone new and learning about them, and/or exploring new types of businesses or ways of thinking allows us to grow and adapt.
People much smarter than I have put their words to greater use, so here are a few quotes about education that I hold to be true.
An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.
– Benjamin Franklin
Education is the key to unlocking the world; the passport to freedom.
– Oprah Winfrey
If you are not willing to learn, no one can help you. If you are determined to learn, no one can stop you.
– Zig Ziglar
Education is not the learning of the facts, but rather of training of the mind to think.
– Albert Einstein
Education is the ability to listen to almost anything without losing your temper or your self-confidence.
– Robert Frost
