Happy International's Women's Day!

03/07/2024

Hello, Friends!! Does anyone have a business that they would like to get in front of 450 real estate agents and their families?! Our annual RED Day event is coming where we take the day off and give our time and money to an organization in the community. This year we are working with the Springfield Dream Center. We kick off our RED Day event with a Bowling Night and Silent/Live Auction Fundraiser.

What is RED DAY?
Since May of 2009 our entire KW company – from the U.S. and Canada to our family abroad – sets aside the second Thursday of the month to Renew, Energize, and Donate within the communities we serve.

If you have a product or service you would like to donate we would love to have it. We also have sponsorship available if you would like to do that.

Reach out if you have any questions.

🏡✨ Considering buying a home? The key to a smooth journey is understanding your Debt-to-Income Ratio (DTI)! 📊💰 🤔 What’s DTI? It’s the percentage of your monthly income that goes toward paying debts. The lower, the better! 📉 💡 Why does it matter? Lenders use DTI to assess your ability to handle a mortgage.
