 YouTube Thursdays - Heart Hooks  Our best buddy McKinley, aka Mac, was a great conversation starter. He literally opened doors for us both personally, and professionally.

And when consumers were searching in my local market, on my brokerage website -- or my app, they had an immediate response, telling them my agents were available and ready to engage at that exact moment. I called it Cnipit, as in snipping your website. Developed as an enterprise solution, it’s now available to anyone for free for the first month with no setup costs… and incredibly, ... 04/28/2020
