WORKING TOGETHER BAGI PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

It is truly an honor to serve as this year’s President after coming off an incredibly successful centennial year. Having been a prior BAGI scholarship recipient, it’s humbling to be in a position that allows me to give back to an organization that has given me so much.

Over the past few years, the groundwork for our Impact Teams has been laid and refined. If you haven’t already done so, I encourage you to check out an Impact Team – just one time to explore and see if it saves you time and effort in your business compared to figuring it out from scratch on your own.

2023 BAGI Board President

Rather than reinvent the wheels that are already on the track and starting to work exactly as intended, my goal as your 2023 President is to refine what we already have and help us work together as an industry to move through a slowdown in our market.

Volatile mortgage rates, a lack of affordability, and ongoing supply chain realities, have left us all in a time of uncertainty. As an industry, we need to provide confidence to buyers by locking arms and working to navigate through these choppy waters. I am confident that unifying and working together will allow us to emerge on the back end of the slowdown and better serve our market.

In 2023, the BAGI Board has committed to improving communication to all its members by meeting you where you are at. Whether you prefer to hear from us through email or text, we will communicate with you through the medium you choose so we can make your membership experience even better. We have also heard your need for updated market information and established a page on the BAGI website, bagi.com/market-updates, where you can find industry-specific market updates from other members and submit updates of your own.

I’m excited to see what we accomplish together over the next year and I look forward to helping us reach our goals!
