As a self-employed Realtor, I am responsible for all aspects of my business. From sales to marketing. Lead generation and branding are of major importance as well as keeping up on current market trends, inventory and news. My focus must be long-term, as I conduct business from a realtionship standpoint, not just from a transaction standpoint.
