Episode 91 - Jonathan, Keith and Jim

We discussed the settlements 30ish days in, some of the struggles as we all adapt, how Nest has acted moving forward, the value of experience and practice, single agent dual agency, and staying true to our strengths, client and Realtor relationships, and the perspective of "better" or "worse" as decouple commissions are the new reality.
