Quarter 1 is one of my favorite times of the year! Why, you may ask? Well, because it means a new top 300 for 2023! Congratulations if you are receiving this magazine. If you have received the magazine yoou find yourself in the Top 300 REALTORS® in Michiana for the year 2023. There is a section called “The Real Update” in the back that explains who we are and what we do. However, once you read all the stories each month, you will have a pretty good idea of what we are all about.

Every year, we reset the distribution to run for 12 months and be sent for free to the Top 300 Greater Michiana real estate agents from the year before. This is based on closed volume. For 2023, the cutoff was right around $5.5 million in closed volume for the year 2022. If you are receiving this, give yourself a pat on the back! That was a great year for you last year, despite all of the craziness that each of you had to navigate over the last couple of years.

My challenge for you this year is to enjoy the process and the journey, even when times get busy or hard. The journey is what shapes us to become the best versions of ourselves. Too often, we are in machine mode and forget to slow down and enjoy the ride. There will be plenty of time to hustle and get after it, but each month as you receive your copy of Michiana Real Producers, take a minute to reflect on the month before and learn about a few of your peers and our preferred partners who make this platform free for you as a top agent.

We have an amazing time growing this product and service, but this is just the beginning. After eight years, Real Producers is now in over 125 markets across the country and rapidly growing. If you have REALTOR® friends in different parts of the country, ask them if they have Real Producers yet in their market. There’s a good chance that they do, and if they are receiving the publication on a monthly basis themselves, congratulate them and say, “Welcome to the top!”

Enjoy!
