The Real Estate Numbers You Should Track

The Power of Strategic Partnerships

"We've all heard the phrase "It's not what you know, it's who you know," and in today's competitive luxury real estate market, that sentiment couldn't be more true." 

Being Responsive to All Income Streams in 2022 
By: Chris Ann Cleland 
"As I wrap up 2021 and reflect on what I want or need to do in 2021 to get into better habits, there is one thing on my mind." 

Living Your Passion: Reality Or Fiction 
By: Aura Alex 
"In the past, many abandoned their creative dreams in exchange for more typical and usually more lucrative roles: doctors, lawyers, executives.  Today, there is a new paradigm coming to fruition even in mainstream culture that advocates setting out on a unique path and bringing you joy and fulfillment—a healthy life balance, and at the same time, ideally, income."

Stay warm down there. I think it's supposed to warm up a little for us in the next few days. We've had highs in the teens for the last 10 days or so. It's 12º as I type.

After a whirlwind week with my SIL in the hospital and getting her relocated into Assisted Living, I hope to spend most of the day chilling out at home, watching some college football, and maybe getting back to writing some blog posts other than Second Chance Saturday.

Now that the New Year is here it is time for me to crack down again and focus more on my business.  That means less time in the rain and on zoom calls.  

Thank you for all that you do here in the AR community Carol Williams

This was a fine group of blog post for your blog post. I must say that if you have no place to go and you are warm and have enough supplies; let it snow, let it snow, let it snow. I’m just sitting and practicing my writing 2022 so I’ll be all set for the new year Carol 🙂
