In May 2011, my first novel - Here, Home, Hope - will be published and it stars, of course, a real estate agent and a home stager! I hope you'll check it out. I'm also the author of Real You Incorporated: 8 Essentials for Women Entrepreneurs that was inspired by the amazing women entrepreneurs I've met throughout the real estate industry. Learning how to articulate your personal brand and bringing to life as a unique competitive advantage is an essential skill in today's competitive marketplace.

     I created the Real Living Real Estate brand in 2001 as the first woman-focused brand in real estate, acknowledging women make or influence 91 percent of all home-buying decisions. It's great to see that the industry as a whole has come around to that realization.

     Whether it's marketing to women or helping real estate agents put the "Real You" in their business, I love this industry and it's a pleasure to continue to work with all of you!
