ZEE'S GOODBYE
years here at Bray. You each have unique and pleasant personalities that have made this such an awesome place to work at and a fun place to boot.
When I came aboard here 12 years ago Robert Bray was the President, Lynn Thompson was the hiring manager and CFO of the company and WR the CEO and jokester, I still smile when I think of him telling us one of his daily jokes, he sure did have a bunch of them!"
pleased to learn of all the local organizations that Bray is involved with within the community and that they support financially through the Bray Care Foundation. I plan on continuing to give to this great cause and encourage you all to do the same if you can.
Thank you for making these years pleasant ones. I will miss you all, but I think I will be able to adapt well to retirement life and I wish each and everyone of you all the best!"

BRAY & COMPANY
Bray Team,
We had a busy quarter and not without its challenges. However, it is a privilege to watch this team focus and rise to the challenges.
At our last quarterly meeting, we spoke about Mindset, Skillset and Action. As markets change, which is a constant in real estate, it is important to always follow these. Your mindset undoubtedly will help you shift with the market, and it will hurt you if you are not in the right mindset. Skillset is very important, investing in yourself and your career to be the best so you can deliver the best product to clients, co-workers and family. You can have a robust skill set and a poor mindset and find yourself struggling to succeed. However, if you have a strong mindset, you can continually develop your skill set. And last nothing happens unless you take action!
Thank you all for making this a great quarter and I am excited to see what we do next.
Michelle Urlacher
