On Mother's Day, a daughter remembers her "truth fairy" real-estate-broker mom

Normally on BrickUnderground, we focus on the consumer side of real estate. With Mother's Day almost upon us, however, we thought we'd share a rather moving post by the daughter of a real estate agent we wish we could have had the pleasure of meeting.

What Mom Taught Me About Business happens to be written by Tereza Nemessanyi, the founder of a start-up called Honestly Now, the mom of two young children, and someone we greatly admire both as an entrepreneur and a not-gonna-sit-back-and-take-it champion of women in tech.

Clearly her self-made mom--who went from selling Mary Kay cosmetics to women she met in grocery stores to becoming a top Westchester real estate broker, before succumbing to cancer a few years ago--did something right in addition to selling a ton of real estate to divorced moms and newbie families scraping it together to be in good school districts.
