Yesterday’s Take Action event with the Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Grand Rapids team was all about empowering real estate agents to take meaningful steps toward their goals—both in business and in life.

Together, we: - Explored powerful strategies from Atomic Habits by James Clear, with some lucky agents walking away with free copies for sharing their goals. - Dug into social media marketing tips that can help agents connect with clients in a more impactful way. - Shared ideas and experiences during breakout sessions that left everyone feeling motivated and inspired.
