Campaigns are key to building and maintaining relationships. Campaigns can consist of newsletters, written notecards, calls, meetings, reports, custom research, emails, and even social media. The key is to build a structure of communication so people think of you first when they need a real estate professional.

Thank you to everyone who attended the Real Estate Success Summit on Tuesday! It was a different experience for sure, coming to you live in studio versus live on stage!
The one thing a virtual Summit allowed us to do is interview a number of agents and real estate businesses who have forged a path doing things their own way.
