In addition to my State of the Market – Your 2021 Housing Market Update class in the morning, we have THREE amazing tracks of content for our afternoon – which you can watch at your leisure!

Even agents who have had success, but had a bad transaction or weren’t successful in a listing presentation may suffer from a temporary loss of confidence. Read more »
