On the other side of the coin, much like politics, religion does sooo  not belong in real estate.

Kathleen, I firmly believe that there is not a single circumstance which we will ever face for which the Bible does not offer guidance.

Nicole Weidauer (Keller Williams North Seattle) The Bible sure puts my life and our world into perspective for me. And it has a happy ending, at least for me.

My faith and belief system governs all that I do, whether in my private or public life and in how I decide who to vote for politically.  It is who I am and not removeable from any aspect of my life.  I don't set it on a shelf and bring it out to impress or garner an in with a client. It is how I live and breath.
