“Reviews are dominating consumer decisions.” That was one of the first things I said to kick off my BluePrint event yesterday morning. And it’s true. We all want more reviews! But look around you. People are busy. They have jobs, and lives, and kids’ soccer practices, and hobbies, and favorite shows… Do you really think […]

I’m gonna be blunt… If you’re not doing the seven things I discuss in this blog, you are losing ground to the competition. Because recently I’ve been talking to lots of top-producing agents, team leaders and CEOs, and they’re all gearing up to capitalize on the gigantic opportunities 2022 is likely to bring.

Today marks the beginning of the second half of the year. A lot has happened already in 2021… The U.S. market continued its frantic pace with strong buyer demand and low listing inventory.
