Wow—summer really did fly by in the blink of an eye! I hope yours was filled with joy, family time and maybe even a little well-deserved relaxation before the school year kicked off.

For me, the season ended on a note that was both humbling and inspiring. I had the privilege of joining the Sandy Creek relief efforts after the devastating floods. Working side by side with other volunteers, clearing brush and seeing the impact on families up close was truly eye-opening. It was a powerful reminder of how important it is to come together when our neighbors need us most. I’m also proud to share that we rallied to host a school supply drive, delivering much-needed supplies to children in the affected area. When we lift others, we all rise.

This isn’t just another social media class—it’s a career game-changer. LinkedIn is one of the most powerful yet underused tools in real estate, and we’re bringing you a session that will show you exactly how to make it work for you.
