Happy New Year, Real Producers!

As the calendar turns to January, it’s time to embrace the fresh start that 2025 brings — a perfect moment to set goals, foster growth, and reignite the relationships that power our success in real estate. Whether it’s cultivating new partnerships or strengthening existing ones, this is the season to focus on connection. After all, real estate is more than transactions: It’s about people, trust, and collaboration.

To kick off this year with energy and inspiration, I’m thrilled to announce our first big event of 2025: Winter Mingle: Toast to the Top! Mark your calendars for February 19, 3:00–5:00 p.m. at KSI Kitchen & Bath in Byron Center. This exclusive gathering will be an opportunity to connect with fellow leaders in the industry, celebrate achievements, and toast to a year filled with possibilities. You won’t want to miss it!

Of course, none of this would be possible without the support of our incredible advertising partners. Their contributions ensure that we can continue delivering this magazine to the top 300 real estate agents in Grand Rapids — completely free. So, let’s take a moment to show our gratitude to these partners who believe in the power of community as much as we do.

As you dive into this issue, I encourage you to explore the stories, insights, and celebrations that highlight the incredible talent in our local real estate scene. Remember, you can always revisit past issues, check out event recaps, and even nominate someone to be featured by visiting our website at grandrapidsrealproducers.com.

Here’s to 2025 — a year for forging new relationships, building upon the ones we treasure, and making this your most successful year yet. Let’s connect, grow, and thrive together.

Cheers to a fantastic year ahead! I look forward to seeing you all at Winter Mingle and throughout this exciting new chapter.
