“Continue to stay<br />
up to date with the<br />

strategy for this year.”<br />

“New construction<br />
is on the rise. Learn<br />
about new development<br />
opportunities and<br />
educate your buyers.<br />
With the lack of existing<br />
inventory - it’s a great<br />
way to fulfill their<br />
homeownership needs.”<br />

“Don’t focus on being<br />
better than someone<br />
else. Instead, focus<br />
on being better than<br />
you were from the day<br />
before. You will then be<br />

version of you, every<br />
single day. You can’t<br />
lose in that equation.”<br />
