Check out this lovely lady's podcast, this week and all weeks, where she has been driving hard for over 10 years to empower women in real estate. This week her and I discuss, as always, Realtor®Safety and how it impacts our business. Wish we lived closer Karen - love to have one of the poolside drinks with you!

Karen Wenner Cooper - Empowering Women In Real Estate®
🎙️ New Podcast Episode: Realtor Safety with Shannon Cutler
This week’s episode is one we all need to hear.
We’re talking about realtor safety—something rarely discussed, but so critical to our work.
I’m joined by Shannon Cutler, a real estate agent and former homicide/SVU detective, who shares real stories and simple, tactical ways to protect yourself while doing your job.
We meet strangers in empty homes. Host open houses alone. Post our locations online. While most people are good—not everyone is. Let’s stop avoiding the conversation and start making safety part of our business strategy.
I promise you will walk away from today’s episode with at least one practical strategy you can use in your business.
Let’s prioritize safety—because your life is more valuable than any sale.

A few changes made to the as the spring real estate market slams into my life.

Did I mention that I moved to bi-weekly podcast episodes? Contrary to the advice of , that a podcast needs to be twice weekly to be successful, I just don't have that much time in my day.

So I hope that the podcast reaches those who can benefit from it and helps keep you safer. Share the podcast with those you care about and click the follow button. It helps other real estate agents find this show.

Love the new podcast art! I don't know why I tried so hard to create it myself originally. It was unsymmetrical and odd. When I sent my old art to Fiverr, the creator said it was "unprofessional looking!" Hahaha True fact. I am so please with the new look. Stay in my lane I say. Hire someone who can do what I cannot do. My time is better spent elsewhere. Thanks Fiverr. Love to hear the feedback!

You know our Parksville office closed last year so we have no space and nowhere to go. The very few Macdonald Agent left on the Central Island are office homeless. So it was lovely to connect with the Macdonald Agent in Victoria today for their monthly connect meeting not only did I get lots of hugs and some delicious pastries, but my little was allowed to hang out in the back while we did our meeting and I got a lot of valuable information sharing from those wonderful folks.
