From the desk of Leigh Brown, CRS, ABR, CIPS, SRES, 2017 president.
Is it just me, or does life move faster when you’re in real estate? I believe that every CRS I’ve spoken to has expressed how grateful they are to be helping clients in the spring market.
It’s easy to get tunnel vision when you’re in the middle of those transactions, though! You can barely get all the showings completed, all the phone calls made and all the clients tended before you collapse at midnight—I get it! However, you have to stay vigilant on the bigger environment around our industry even while you’re crushing it. Now is the time for you to consider making that investment in your industry. With tax reform remaining a key topic in state capitals and in Washington, D.C., REALTORS® have to remain at the forefront of those discussions so we can protect all of the busy springs to come!
Our initiative this year is to create the Complete REALTOR®—the CRS who is engaged not only in being profitable, but also in the local community and in the future of the industry. We are the leaders in education. We are the leaders in production. We are the leaders in volunteer service. Now it’s time for us to be the leaders in advocacy as well.
It’s easy to get involved with the REALTOR® Party. Your annual contribution of $1,000 (or more) is your insurance for your business. All you have to do is ping me so I can connect you to your state representative. Let’s all showcase to our consumers that they want a REALTOR® who is #MoreThanHouses.
Consumers are already hearing the call of the #OneHour and the #MoreThanHouses hashtags, and asking for THAT kind of REALTOR®. The best. The CRS who is something extra.
Join me. Our profession needs YOU.
