One new show that HGTV unveiled in 2024 was “Lakefront Empire.
She was just 19 when she got involved with it.
At 30 years old, she was convicted and sent to prison.

However, Albers doesn’t let her past hold her back.
On the contrary, she’s become an incredibly successful real estate agent.
She also worked extra hard to be allowed a real estate license following her felony conviction.

“I guess the story was one of the reasons that drew HGTV here,” Albers said.
Albers has overcome a lot in her life, including people thinking she couldn’t accomplish her goals.
One hope of hers was to share her perspective on time in prison.

“At the same time, you’re the one that has to make it happen.
you could’t blame others.
You have to accept responsibility and move on from there.”
“There’s never a good time to tell somebody,” she added.
I went to college for business management and I chose the wrong business.”
Now, she’s in the right business, making a living doing what she loves.
“I want to move mountains,” Albers said.
With her ability to defy expectations and work hard, Albers could likely succeed.
