Designations Create Distinctions: Looking Ahead To 2021

Are You A Realtor® Who Is Business Planning For 2021?


Industry professionals know that fall and winter of 2020 in no way represent a seasonal slump! Not only is the market presenting unrivaled opportunity for this time of year for our clients, but this is also THE time that our business planning takes place. As you prepare to set up your new year with new goals, I wanted to encourage every agent to revisit how they distinguish themselves, who they most want to help and what types of professionals they most desire to be surrounded by.


As a NAR® Instructor, I happen to believe (and have seen firsthand!) how real estate designations ensure that agents stand out, while driving them to the target markets they are most passionate about and contributing to substantial network growth. As you consider adding a designation (or 2 or 3!) to your goals for next year, here are some resources that you may find useful.


If you have any questions about what designations can make the most powerful impact on your career, please do not hesitate to reach out. After teaching hundreds of courses both in-person and online in Silicon Valley and around the country, I can help you decide which courses can be gamechangers for your business.
