I’ve been attending the Five Star Conference for a long time, and over the years I’ve watched this industry change in so many ways.

In the beginning, I attended because I wanted to grow my business. Somewhere along the way, I realized the most valuable thing I could take home wasn’t more business—it was more knowledge.

But eventually I learned something even more important: knowledge is only as powerful as the people you surround yourself with.

Being surrounded by business professionals who have their own wealth of knowledge and experience—and having people you can actually pick up the phone and call when you need advice, another perspective, or an answer—is invaluable. That combination of knowledge, experience, and relationships allows all of us to create better outcomes for our clients.

I’m blessed to have another opportunity to learn more, meet more people, and be surrounded by some of the best professionals in the country. And I’m even more blessed that, after all these years, I get to call some of them friends.

Looking forward to reconnecting with old friends, making new ones, and probably learning a few things I didn’t even know I needed to know.

If you were caught up on your mortgage today, could you make next month's payment?

Behind on your mortgage? The worst move is silence.

Life happens — illness, a layoff, a divorce, a transmission that dies at the wrong time. Falling behind doesn't mean you failed. But what you do next matters, and doing nothing is the only guaranteed bad outcome.

I wrote out exactly what to do, step by step: the one honest question you have to answer first, how forbearance and repayment plans actually work, when a short sale makes more sense than fighting it out, and the paperwork mistake that quietly stalls more files than anything else.
