EDITOR’S PICKS JESSICA KERN Chief Communications Officer jkern@chicagorealtor.com Happy Sales Awards season and congratulations to our top producers! This time of year is always so inspiring to me, because we get to celebrate the collaboration in our industry in fun, inspiring ways. Real estate is a business built on people and relationships, and we love celebrating that with you. Take time to read through the tips from our top producers on page 40 for inspiration and motivation. As association staff, we have the pleasure of watching many of you grow and build your businesses over the years, and the annual Sales Awards is one of the many ways we can toast to it. Congratulations, again! We have a vibrant, supportive community for real estate professionals here at the Chicago Association of REALTORS ® — so stay connected and engaged! There are several upcoming events to do exactly that, like a Young Professionals Network breakfast at Manny’s, our New Residential Development Tour, the monthly, virtual Coffee with Your GADs or the 360° Diversity Summit in June. Learn more about your craft while developing relationships with those on the other side of the deal. We strive to offer you resources to continue to grow outside of networking events, too. On page 35, learn about one of the newest business resources Symba! As you invest in yourself and your business, hit up additional free or discounted resources like our on-demand Video Resource Library of past events or sign up for an industry designation through the REALTORS ® Real Estate School. One message echoed by many of our top producers is the importance and value of earning your clients’ trust. As hard-working, trusted advisors, these tools hopefully help you help your communities build wealth through real estate and achieve the dream of homeownership. I hope to see you at an upcoming event or class. As always, we’d love to hear from you.
