I don't know about you, but when I think about how much real estate is bought and sold in Southwest Florida, it's good to know there's a group like the Bonita Springs Estero Realtors® we can turn to right here.

Meighan Harris is the CEO of the group, moving to the top spot in 2018 after serving as its professional development lead and COO. In this interview, we talk about a wide range of topics, including:

• Increasing professionalism and maintaining ethical standards in the complex, competitive industry of real estate (and what happens when ethics are compromised);
• Managing transitions after a long-time leader retires;
• What's happening in various young professional groups;
• Why she and her young family left, but came back, to Southwest Florida.

Plus, I love how Meighan schools me on the proper pronunciation of realtor, not real-a-tor. I don't think I got it right all the time in this interview, but hey Realtors®, I'm trying!

Thanks to the attorneys at Woods, Weidenmiller, Michetti & Rudnick for sponsoring this episode. Partner Jay Caudill of the firm's new Bonita Springs office talks about myths about using legal help during this episode.
