For team leader Angela Mayfield, success isn’t measured in terms of her own success alone. It’s measured, in large part, through the growth and success of the agents on her team.
“We focus on empowering each team member to reach their fullest potential,” she said. “Our commitment to training, mentorship and ongoing support creates a culture of personal and professional growth.”
Much of that growth comes through the team’s focus on relationship-building “with clients, peers and within the community,” Mayfield said. “It’s about creating a reputation rooted in integrity, service and care. This foundation of trust is what keeps people coming back and referring us time and again.”
Deeply supportive of local initiatives and charitable causes, Team Mayfield uses its “time, talent and resources … to make a positive impact beyond real estate,” Mayfield said. Find out how this West Virginia team leader creates exceptional outcomes for her team and their clients.

Tell us about a high point in your career
A high point in my career was not just reaching my own milestones, but seeing my team members, like Ashley Roberts and Becky Bridgette, achieve their goals and grow in ways that surpass their expectations.
Ashley Roberts
For Ashley, a significant milestone was becoming the first team member at Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Central to “cap.” She credits much of her success to the mentorship and guidance I provided from the very beginning.
I saw potential in Ashley and chose to invest in her growth, helping her develop into the amazing agent she is today. I’m incredibly proud that she refers to herself as “Mini Mayfield,” which is a testament to the relationship we’ve built and the success she’s achieved.
For Becky, a high point was knowing that our team had given her the opportunity to meet her financial goals while also providing a sense of belonging. Though she retired from her teaching career, she has continued to thrive in real estate for over 25+ years.
She plays a vital role in the success of our team by caring for the many little things that are crucial to ensuring our team’s success. I am thankful for her.
Becky Bridgette
The success of my team members is one of my greatest accomplishments, and it’s an honor to play a part in helping them reach their full potential.
What’s your top prediction for 2025?
My top prediction for 2025 is that technology will continue to play a pivotal role in shaping the real estate industry, particularly in streamlining operations and enhancing client experiences. I believe we’ll see more real estate agents adopting AI-powered CRMs, virtual tours and data-driven marketing strategies to better serve clients.
Name 3 people you admire
Josh McGrath (Broker, Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Central): I admire Josh for his vision, leadership and commitment to fostering growth within our brokerage. He’s a true mentor who leads with integrity and care, and his guidance has been invaluable to me and many others. His ability to connect with people and support them through challenges is something I greatly admire.
Ashley Roberts (team member, Team Mayfield): Ashley is an inspiring individual who has shown tremendous dedication, growth and leadership. I admire her work ethic, her commitment to helping clients, and her willingness to learn and grow. She embodies the spirit of mentorship and collaboration, and I’m proud to have helped guide her to success.
Franki (Sister): Franki, my late sister, is someone I deeply admire for her strength and resilience. Throughout the challenges she faced in life, she remained incredibly strong and inspiring. I learned so much from her ability to persevere and maintain a positive outlook, and her influence continues to guide me in both my personal and professional life.
What’s 1 thing you wish every agent knew?
Real estate is a relationship business, not just a transaction business. The most successful agents understand that it’s not about just closing a deal; it’s about building trust, maintaining genuine connections and providing long-term value to clients. Creating a reputation rooted in integrity, service and care is what truly sets you apart.
By focusing on relationships and consistently offering value, clients will keep coming back and referring others to you. Also, remember that you’re running your own business, and you need to schedule time to work both “in” and “on” your business.
