The thing REALTORS® can do this year is to push education. I definitely made use of some of my time early on during the COVID shutdown to pick up designations in order to be better at my craft and better for the public.

We were all so thankful when they decided that this was an essential field. We went out and got the job done. I’m really proud to be one of the strong, united and resilient workers in the state of Illinois.

What I think is so great about this career is the people I have met have always been so generous, kind and willing to help, mentor and give advice on what works and didn’t work for them.
