QUOTES

• “You're going to enjoy your time away from work when you set up your team for success. You're going to do the things you need to do, and then come home to some beautiful listings because your team has worked so hard and done great things for you.” -Jefi Moultrie [5:27]

• “Let the systems work, get out of your way. Do a good two-week prep going in so that everything that's running has potential and you're gonna have new potentials pop in while you're gone. But anything that is teed up or in process, you've had enough time to smooth out the bumps in your prep.” -Ed Billings [07:39]
