My friend and fellow real estate agent, Erin, is a master a getting into the flow with her clients and business. In all honesty one of the reasons I truly love her, though, is she is also a master at getting out of flow too which means she is a real person with input that is…
Ryan broke his arm! It was going to be the ultimate work day. I had planned out the night before what I wanted to get done today. The clients to call, the houses to preview, the inspection for my new listing, appointments to schedule for next week, networking with other agents, and more. I had…

Gary is the crew chief and it includes a business coach, spiritual coach, accountability partners, great friends and family, hair stylist, masseuse, facialist, naturopath, physical therapist, yoga instructor, chiropractor, personal shopper,…
Carrie and I have been friends for close to 15 years. She is one of my best friends and someone that I completely admire. She is that great balance of drive and getting it done while truly caring about the people that she works with and making sure that she is creating the right experience…
