One thing I have learned in life that is constant and consistent like rain and taxes is "Change!" Change is inevitable in our lives regardless of who we are, what we do, or where we go. Each of us has our own unique circumstances and change is and always will be a huge and significant part of our lives.


While I know this will come as a shock or even surprise to some of you, I am no longer with Zillow. I was informed that the company had decided in their restructure process that there would be no future or role for my position and so we parted ways. I posted this announcement on Facebook and received more love and support than I could have ever imagined.


I used my time away to truly evaluate my life and passions. I spent time soul searching and seriously looking for just the right place I could call my new home. A place where the next chapter of my journey could continue. A place that shares my same passion, vision and dream that I do. I've learned that in life, each path we walk for any length of time is just another small link in the bigger chain of our life's purpose and overall journey.

Well, the seasons and winds of change are blowing once again and a new chapter begins today!

It is with gratitude, great joy and sincere excitement that I'm announcing today my position and role as the new executive director of education and industry outreach for eXp Realty International Corp. This is the next path, my biggest chapter and my new home.  The continuation of my life journey.

Here's a few of the press releases I was excited to see hit the media today.

 

 

Also, a very special thanks to my friends over at Inman News for helping to spread the word.


All that to say this. Thank you for all the love and support you've shown me over the years. In my new role, I get to continue working as a resource for all my ActiveRain friends and all the industry professionals that I've come to know and love over the years. I look forward and anticipate becoming an even bigger and better part of the education and training process that supports the people who are making a true and significant difference in the world and in the lives of others... that's YOU!

Oh yes, I'm so happy for Brad.  He will do great there.  And, I knew there was another person I knew at eXp...I just reconnected w/ a local agent from eXp and I told her I knew Rich Cederberg, and I thought there was someone else I knew.  So, now I can tell her about this connection as well. Thx.

Hi Lenn - I've been here just long enough to have known Brad a bit, and I'm really happy he's not only landed on his feet, but is doing something he's very, very good at. And his new company is a very interesting concept.

Larry and Sheila.  I'm sure he'll appreciate that.

Dick.  Brad's connection to the company give it, IMO, substantial credibility.

Hi Lenn, I've "known" Brad from his days as a title rep, then his days with ActiveRain before his days with Zillow. He is a great guy. Always helpful. We all send our support to him in his new position.

Lenn, Brad is a good buy. I've met him at RainCamps when they had them and he and his beautiful wife have attended a few of our local meet-ups.  I'm glad I caught this re-blog. Might have otherwise missed this announcement.

Bill.  So many knew and worked with Brad.  Yes, he has all of our good wishes.

Kathleen.  I met Brad at a RainCamp too in D.C.  Brad has a lot of ActiveRain friends.

I met Brad at Atlantic City and we seemed to fit pretty well.  I enjoyed speaking with him and hearing his thoughts about AR.

You know who went shooting Saturday.  The first set she had her heavy coat on and only got an 18.  She was so upset she took off her coat and shot great.  She beat all the men there and when asked invoked your name.  Everyone shook their heads up and down!

George.  You bet.  Thanks.

Jay.  I've been so tempted, but I want slightly warmer weather.  Cold weather has never been so uncomfortable for me. 

Another problem is simply strength and stamina.  I wasn't sure I could walk the distances from clubhouse to trap field carrying that 7 lb. gun.  But, I'm getting stronger each day.   I'm also having very good workouts at the gym.

I've shot a few empty boxes in my back yard.  It feels good to hit an empty box from across the yard.  Oh well.  At least the gunshot doesn't bother me.  The pacemater is on the left side, thank goodness. 

I have a DR appt. tomorrow, the 10th with the DR who implanted the thing.  I'm sure he'll find everything O.K.
