How Loredana Ghete Found Her Calling in Creating Millionaire Real Estate Agents

Loredana Ghete was eight years old when her home country of Romania became a democracy. The 1991 political transition from communism was accompanied by an economic recession and skyrocketing inflation. When her parents decided to start a business under the new system, Loredana recalled that they took out a business loan, only to see the interest rate balloon from an already high 35 percent to 120 percent – within six months.

Given the fluctuating economy, the way forward wasn’t easy. When her parents asked her to help them sell produce at a local market near her school, Loredana was at first embarrassed to be seen at work selling vegetables – until she had a realization: Earning her own money gave her a freedom her classmates didn’t have, and she began to take pride in her job. Looking back, she said seeing her parents find a way through seemingly insurmountable challenges taught her to take risks – and to never settle.

Starting From Zero as a Real Estate Agent 

Today, Loredana is the general manager of the KW® Georgia Legacy Group, a family of KW® market centers in Alpharetta, Peachtree Corners, and Roswell, Ga. From 2016 to 2020, Loredana worked as an assistant team leader at Keller Williams® North Atlanta, the top producing market center in the Southeast Region, where she helped the market center grow from 137 to 400 agents. As team leader from 2020 to 2024, she and her leadership team added another 300 associates, finishing out the year at a total agent count of 700.

Like all four of her siblings, she had followed her parents’ entrepreneurial path. After marrying her high school sweetheart, Mircea, at the age of 21, the couple opened an Orange Romania cell phone franchise, where Loredana guided her team in achieving their sales goals. The two also began investing in residential real estate, starting with flipping their first home. Loredana and Mircea grew their Orange franchise to 14 stores strong before deciding to sell and relocate to the U.S., a move motivated by a desire to provide their young daughter with more opportunities.

Their decision to emigrate came with major compromises. With her real estate experience and business skills, Loredana knew she wanted to become a licensed real estate agent in the States. When Keller Williams’ culture and values proved a natural fit, she signed on with KW® North Atlanta and never looked back. But with no local contacts in Atlanta, she had to start from zero.
