Louisiana REALTORS® • November 13, 2024

I am so privileged to have spent time with so many of you this past week in Boston. Being around the energy and passion of this highly engaged group of REALTORS® gives me great belief in what our industry can continue to provide.


Watch my latest On The Road video here, where I share my 2025 priorities -- sticking to the NAR basics of protecting the consumer, and working together for the betterment of our industry, consumers and our communities. I also speak to the CTC recommendations presented to the Executive Committee and highlight some upcoming events.


I hope each of you had safe travels home, I look forward to what we can accomplish -- together -- in 2025!
