On Tuesday, January 10th, I was privileged to deliver a 15 minute talk to over 100 REALTORS®, lenders, title reps and other real estate related folks. I chose to talk about the qualities that I thought were necessary to have in order to have a successful 2023. Fortunately, someone in the audience recorded it…
