Today we’d like to introduce you to Katina Mickens.
Hi Katina , we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
I didn’t begin my journey with shortcuts or safety nets—I began with responsibility, faith, and a vision bigger than my circumstances. From early on, I understood that real estate wasn’t just about property; it was about positioning people for stability, growth, and legacy.
I entered the industry determined to learn every layer—from transactions and construction to strategy and education. That foundation led to the creation of Dreams Fulfilled – Katina Prevails Real Estate, a brokerage built on integrity, results, and client empowerment. Over the years, I’ve helped families, investors, and business owners make informed decisions that increase their net worth and long-term security.
My work expanded naturally into publishing, education, and community outreach. As an author and platform builder, I use real estate as a teaching tool for life, relationships, and purpose. Family has always been my “why,” and being a mother and grandmother keeps my work grounded and generational.
Today, I continue building ventures that create access and opportunity while staying rooted in faith and service. The journey hasn’t been easy—but it’s been intentional, and every step has shaped who I am today.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
It definitely hasn’t been a smooth road. Like most meaningful journeys, mine has included seasons of challenge, recalibration, and growth.
I’ve navigated the realities of building businesses without a blueprint—balancing entrepreneurship, motherhood, and leadership while learning in real time. There were moments of financial strain, deals that fell apart at the last minute, and situations where trust was misplaced. I’ve faced resistance as a woman leading in spaces where authority isn’t always readily granted, and I’ve had to advocate for my value more times than I can count.
Another challenge was learning when to pivot and when to stand firm. Growth often required difficult decisions—ending partnerships, restructuring businesses, and choosing long-term stability over short-term comfort. I also had to learn that being capable doesn’t mean doing everything alone.
What sustained me was faith, discipline, and a commitment to purpose. Each obstacle refined my leadership, strengthened my discernment, and sharpened my vision. The struggles didn’t stop the journey—they shaped it. Today, I view challenges as confirmation that I’m building something real, something lasting, and something worth protecting.

Who else deserves credit in your story?
No journey is built alone, and I’m deeply aware that my success reflects the support, wisdom, and belief of many people along the way. One of the most influential figures in my career has been my big sister, who introduced me to real estate and helped me see it not just as a profession, but as a pathway to ownership, stability, and generational impact. Her early guidance and example planted the seed that ultimately shaped my career.
I’ve also benefited from mentors—both formal and informal—who challenged my thinking, sharpened my discipline, and pushed me to operate at a higher level of excellence. My clients deserve tremendous credit as well; their trust and loyalty allowed the business to grow, evolve, and establish a strong reputation.
My family has been my foundation, providing constant encouragement and support through demanding seasons. I’m equally grateful for my teammates and professional partners—attorneys, lenders, contractors, and collaborators—whose expertise ensures consistency and integrity across every transaction.
Above all, my faith has been my anchor, guiding decisions and sustaining the vision. Every achievement reflects collective effort, alignment, and purpose.
