Featuring Pat Zaby, CCIM, CRS
What was great and on target yesterday, may be uncertain and even undesirable tomorrow. Things change; shift happens. Real estate isn't a job, it's a business. To become a successful survivor in a shifting real estate market, one must develop a plan, not just for working in the business but working on the business. Join Pat Zaby for this motivating session designed to help position you for the career you deserve.
