October is a month to sharpen your focus. The year has settled into its rhythm, giving you the chance to identify gaps, improve systems, and strengthen the areas that really drive results. With Halloween approaching, it’s also a good reminder to stay alert—sometimes the little “spooks” in your workflow can slow you down if left unnoticed.
Improvement doesn’t have to be dramatic. Small, deliberate actions—like refining a process, following up more strategically, or reorganizing priorities—can have a big effect on how smoothly things run. These practical adjustments build efficiency, confidence, and consistency.
Use October to get intentional about your work. By addressing what matters now and keeping an eye out for hidden pitfalls, you’ll finish the year strong—and wrap it up without any tricks, just treats.


Each month, we welcome a wave of passionate, driven, and talented agents who bring fresh energy, diverse experience, and big dreams to our culture. Whether they’re brand new to real estate or seasoned pros making the move to Heritage, we ’ re proud to support them as they grow, thrive, and make their mark. Take a moment to say hello, connect, and give a warm welcome to our newest KWH Family Members!

On September 24th, 2025, our own Kristina Guzman (Vice President of Luxury & Strategy) and Brandon Davison (Luxury Marketing & Operations Coordinator) joined the South Texas Region Luxury Mastermind, hosted by Keller Williams Memorial.
The energy was electric, led by Brady Sandahl, Director of Growth for Keller Williams Luxury International. Brady set the stage ablaze with his topic: Luxury in Motion: Building Your Entrepreneurial Flywheel to Grow a Bigger Luxury Business.
Brady's powerful question “What marketing are you currently doing that someone else should be doing for you?” struck a powerful chord. His call to harness powerful talent exposed a truth: “Every moment spent on marketing is a missed opportunity to secure your next million-dollar listing.” Brady mentioned, “The reason many agents fail to grow a bigger Luxury business is because of fear, the fear of losing control.”
The facts are in: While you ’ re juggling marketing tasks, crafting brochures, and staging properties, your competitors are closing high-stakes deals, building elite networks, and dominating the luxury market.
Our Concierge Program empowers you to shine with world-class creative support and services. Don’t let pride in “doing it all” cost you market share join our program and feel the rush of focusing on what truly drives your success.
Our next group presentation for the Luxury program will take place on October 23rd, 2025, at 1:00 p.m. here at the Keller Williams Heritage location.
Wednesday, October 15th 9 AM - 12 PM | Address Coming Soon
Join us on October 15th for our first Keller Williams Heritage Luxury Showcase. Tour five luxury homes, connect with fellow agents, and learn how to present these properties to discerning clients. You'll also have the opportunity to gain in-depth insight into luxury home features and boost your marketing skills, capture professional content during the tours to strengthen your online presence and engage potential buyers.
