  • What To Expect From Your Realtor

    Join us and our special guest, Ashley Brimson. 


    What you should look for when looking for a Realtor?

    What’s most and least important to you?

    • Experience?
    • Responsiveness?
    • Integrity?
    • Rapport?
    • Reputation?

      • Or are you thinking about doing a real estate transaction yourself?  (We talk about that also.)

      • We are always striving to best serve our community.

        We would love to hear from you.


        Ashley also shares what she’s loving right now.

        And as usual, the conversation veers off to food!

      • The Future of Community is Now

        Join us as we discuss the future of community.

        Is the future of community as we know it kattywampus?

        Chip also shares what he is loving.


        The Future of Community is Now

        Between natural evolution, growth and COVID-19 pushing what your communities can be...

        How has your community changed and continue to change?

        What ultimately drives the changes within a community?

        Will flexibility and resources change where and how you determine to live?

        Bike lanes and greenways and parks, oh my!


        Do you determine where you live based on where you work or go to school?

        Or where you have access to things like delivery services?

        And how do companies ultimately decide to set up shop?

        Is telecommuting and remote learning the future?

        How will education evolve?

        If we shift the money saved from remote learning, what are the possibilities?

        Could we shift resources to better serve underprivileged communities better?


        Join us as we discuss!
