As we close out 2024, I’m reflecting on a year filled with lessons, growth, and changes in our industry. From navigating headwinds like NAR settlement adjustments and fluctuating interest rates to embracing the evolving expectations of buyers and sellers, this year was nothing short of transformative. In Episode #261, I’m sharing my biggest takeaways from 2024—and more importantly, the key shifts I see coming for 2025.

What can advisors, brokers, and entrepreneurs do to stay ahead? It starts with adapting to the trends that will define the coming year:

Hospitality Mindset: The businesses that thrive in any industry are the ones that make their clients feel noticed, valued, and connected. In a world of advancing technology, the human touch will remain irreplaceable.

Choosing the Right Clients: Your clients are either an investment or an expense. Establishing clear boundaries in your selection process will protect your joy and profitability in 2025.

Herd Mentality: Understand the psychology of buyers and sellers. When the spark ignites, momentum builds, and those prepared will lead the charge.

The Role of Technology: AI is no longer optional. The advisors leveraging this tool will experience exponential gains in productivity and efficiency.

The Final Mile: No matter how advanced the technology, the advisor remains the indispensable connection between potential and transaction.

As we look toward 2025, I encourage you to align with winners, embrace change, and take control of your growth. Remember, “If you’re not changing, you’re choosing.”

Thank you for your support throughout 2024. My team and I will be back on January 6th with a new episode, but keep an eye out for my "Best of 2024" series coming via email on December 23rd and 30th.
