Today, I convinced Beth to step outside her comfort zone and hop on an electric scooter with me while we explored Washington, D.C. 🛴

Life gets busy. Between work, family, responsibilities, and deadlines, it’s easy to forget to make time for fun. Sometimes the best thing you can do is try something new, say yes to an adventure, and create a memory you’ll laugh about later.

As Realtors, we spend our days helping others navigate change and take big leaps. Maybe it’s a good reminder that we should do the same every once in a while.

And if you’ve never attended the NAR Legislative Meetings in D.C., consider this your sign to do something new next year. It’s an incredible opportunity to connect with Realtors from across the country, advocate for our industry, learn from industry leaders, and experience our nation’s capital in a way most visitors never do.

New experiences. New friendships. A little fun along the way. That’s what it’s all about.
