I'm thankful to be on the last leg of a great week of learning and sharing! I started I'm Vail, CO teaching a 6 hour contract class, the flew to PHX that night. While others were enjoying playing at the Meecum auction, I had an incredible weekend in Scottsdale with approx 60 of the best real estate instructors and regulators in the industry, learning more, being able to help others share their knowledge, and having an opportunity to present for an hour to submit my skills for evaluation to work to improve what I do. This is TOUGH crowd too. Lol But the Real Estate Educators Association is here to take what we bring as instructors and take it to another level.

From there I flew to teach in Seattle, WA, presenting on using AI (not an overview class, but rather a hands on workshop using it), a session on the changing market and buyer agency laws and what it means in WA, and a class on the ethical use of social media.

And now I sit, in Oakland Airport, getting ready for my last leg to Albuquerque, so I can finish my week with my amazing EXIT Realty Home & Ranch Farmington team, reviewing purchase agreements.

Everything I learn, everywhere I teach, builds my knowledge and understanding of an industry that most others greatly underestimate the responsibility of. Being a REALTOR is far closer to my work as a social worker, than I ever realized. Watching the light bulb go off and truly being a part of the transformation of an entire shift in an industry, is both empowering and humbling.

At the end of the day, all of this comes back to our folks at EXIT Realty for me to share with and support all of them. I have VERY high expectations. Having folks like Stacy, Jessie, Nick, and Jessica supporting our common vision absolutely sets those that choose to adopt the approach we take, apart. My clients have the benefit of these cumulative experiences. There is a difference in how all brokerages work. I promise, what we do and how we do it is truly different. There are some amazing sales people in out industry. There are some amazing service providers in our industry. Some focus on the transaction today. Some focus on where the client will be tomorrow. And Some focus on building a legacy of being there for generations. I love the legacy brokers in our office.

I am incredibly excited to have been selected to be a Main Stage presenter for the 2023 EXIT International Convention, in Disneyland, next Month!! What an incredible group of people also sharing their stories and thoughts! I am looking forward to hearing Belinda Harris-Forrest, Ricky, and Andy! I just hope I don't trip over myself having Sharron Richardson introduce me! Thank you Christina Luis and Steve Morris for the opportunity, and Samantha Morris, Susan Harrison, Lori Muller, Jessica Rae for your support!

This may well be the most vulnerable side of me I've ever spoken about in a public forum. Channeling my inner Cheryl Leighton Knowlton, Angel Tucker, and Angelina Peña on this one!

Although the market may be different now, I have seen many consumers harmed with issues like this (more often delays, increased costs without warning, etc) through CO, NM, and I other states I teach in. Thankfully this situation ended with the family being sold their home as agreed, but not before the builder attempted to use the very one sided contract to their benefit.

This is a huge reason why we, as REALTORS, recommend having legal documents (especially those that are written by third parties for the benefit of one of the parties) reviewed by an attorney.

There are so many aspects to a real estate transaction that the general consumer will likely never fully understand the depth of liability that we try to protect them from, that literally keeps us up at night!

One of the unique aspects of EXIT Realty is that we sponsor each other into our company, creating a family of brokers / agents, that want to support and celebrate each others successes, and their success comes back to us in the form or residuals.

I had the true pleasure of watching two of our members in NM both earn awards in Production and be recognized at the EXIT Realty International Convention in Florida. Kelsie Booker and Aspen Groen, two of my sponsors, stood with other leaders in our company to be recognized.

Both also had the opportunity to meet and visit, one on one, with Tami Bonnell, the CEO of EXIT Realty International. I don't know how many real estate franchises have leadership that are as directly engaged and open to giving time to their members the way EXIT Realty is. It is something that has surprised me from my first year.

I want to congratulate both Aspen and Kelsie, for their achievements (as well as all of the others from our offices!).
