In a few days, many of us will be gathered around our Thanksgiving tables, reflecting on everything we’re grateful for. Usually, we think about the good moments, but I want to encourage you to also reflect on the hard things that God has carried you through this year. The NAR settlement, navigating new buyer agency representation, high interest rates, tough client conversations—these challenges may not seem like something to give thanks for. But when you look back, you can see how God sustained you and strengthened you through it all.

These moments weren’t just obstacles; they were opportunities for growth. You’ve learned to navigate a changing market, communicate better, and trust God’s provision in the middle of uncertainty. Real estate is a business that can stretch you like nothing else, but it also equips you with unique skills and resilience that ripple into every other part of your life. Through the hard times, you’ve become stronger, more knowledgeable, and better equipped to serve your clients and impact the lives around you.

“Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” — 1 Thessalonians 5:18

And speaking of gratitude, I am so grateful for you and this community. It’s a gift to walk alongside others who are just as passionate about serving others and creating a legacy through real estate. It isn’t just about transactions; it’s about helping people open new chapters in their lives, providing stability, and building something meaningful for your family and future generations. What a blessing to be part of something that truly changes lives.

This Thanksgiving, thank God for both the good and the hard. Every moment this year—no matter how challenging—has been purposeful. And for that, we can be truly grateful.

Your Real Estate Bestie,
