- Lily Jang became a real-estate agent in 2017 after working mostly as a broadcast-news anchor.
- She got into real estate because she'd had bad experiences with agents and wanted flexible hours.
- To stand out to her clients, she offers social-media promotion, home staging, and TV placement.
Before she was a successful real-estate agent closing on nearly $28 million in deals in 2022, Lily Jang was a news anchor for KHOU-TV in Houston.
She never would've left the broadcasting world, she told Insider, had the TV station not gone through a management change and subsequent layoffs.
"You always know in the back of your head this could happen: New management comes in, and they're going to clean house, and you could be a casualty — and that's exactly what happened to me," she said.
