The Art of Audience Excitement: A Marketer’s Guide to Igniting Passion
In the bustling marketplace of ideas and products, one skill stands paramount: the ability to excite your audience and stir emotion.

Why are so many of our strongest Association Executives getting fired?
Today, it is more important than ever that the real estate industry nurtures and protects its best and brightest staff executives. We need people that are thoughtfully helping the industry navigate the uncertain waters we are swimming in right now. I have noticed an alarming trend, though, counter to this need.

The 5 Reasons why North Carolina Regional MLS successfully continues its Southeast expansion
The latest Association addition to North Carolina Regional MLS moves the organization beyond the walls of their state and opens them up as one of the MLSs gaining traction in the formation of Southeast MLS collaborations. They are arguable one of, if not the fastest growing MLS in the country when measured by the addition of new Associations and moving beyond contiguous markets. When examining their meteoric expansion, I observed a few lessons that can be leveraged by other markets to deliver brokers the broader data access they are demanding. In my opinion there are five key reasons NCRMLS is successfully expanding to support its brokers and the agents and clients they serve:
