So make use of the local imagery and don’t rely on any stock property photos. You’re not just selling a house, but you’re selling your geographic culture for your real estate business.

If you don’t attend these events, you’re going to miss out and not be able to diversify your business as much as you should. Networking events should be posted locally so keep an eye on that!
