“Continue to stay<br />

up to date with the<br />

strategy for this year.”<br />

“The secret to my<br />

success in 2014<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 />

single day. You can’t<br />

lose in that equation.”<br />
