How Inclusive Communication Builds Trust (and Top-Producing Real Estate Careers)

What if the most powerful advantage in real estate isn’t your scripts, your CRM, or your tech stack — but how clearly you communicate?

In this episode of the Icons of Real Estate Podcast, we sit down with Maria Gallucci, a top 1% real estate agent, CODA (Child of Deaf Adults), fluent ASL communicator, and author of Raised in Silence.

Raised by Deaf parents and fluent in ASL before English, Maria learned early that communication isn’t just about talking — it’s about connection. She’s built a nationally recognized real estate business by designing her work around inclusion, advocacy, and clarity.

In this conversation, we explore:

• How inclusive communication builds faster trust

• Why accessibility is a business advantage, not a niche

• How Maria created authority by serving overlooked communities

• What real estate agents get wrong about communication

• Why “just try” is one of the most powerful philosophies in business

This episode isn’t only about accessibility — it’s about how better communication creates better outcomes for agents, clients, and communities.
