Keeping Agents Consistent

Region served: Greenville, Spartanburg and Anderson, South Carolina Years in real estate: 18 Number of offices: 3 Number of agents: 32 Best time management tip: Time-blocking is crucial. It keeps an agent consistent in their business activities to help avoid a sales rollercoaster. Can’t-live-without tech tool: I truly love the First app by RE/MAX.

Since real estate is local, given current market conditions, what do you see happening in your area? Greenville, South Carolina, is an interesting town. We have become a destination in the South for visitors, but our economy doesn’t rely heavily on tourism. Our economy is very diverse, and that helped us weather the last market shift. While prices are rising pretty quickly in
