What a time we’re experiencing! If there’s one thing I’ve learned from our current environment, it is to look closely at my business. I’ve been adjusting to both make the most of where I am today and plan for the future.
As the saying goes, “The secret of change is to focus all of your energy not on fighting the old, but on building the new.”
One of the best ways we can move forward is to take this time to focus on learning and growing. This issue will help you do just that.
Some of our esteemed Emeritus members are sharing how they’ve overcome obstacles in the past. You’ll also hear about new and innovative tools and resources available to REALTORS ® from the National Association of REALTORS ® and Bright MLS.
Plus, meet two of our latest 30 under 30 honorees! As a past honoree myself, I am inspired hearing about how others are building their businesses, especially so early in their careers.
I hope you will continue to look out for virtual classes, panel discussions and videos from GCAAR leadership answering any questions you might have. As always, please don’t hesitate to let us know how we can help you. We’re in this together.
Keeping you and your families in my thoughts, and wishing you all continued health.
