Do you know what I love most about working at Terrie O’Connor Realtors? It’s our incredible culture of caring for one another and celebrating each other’s successes. In an industry that can often feel competitive, we’re lucky to be part of a company that truly values collaboration, cooperation, and community.
In that spirit, I’d like to ask for your help.
While many of our associates are thriving in today’s market, others are working hard to gain traction whether that means landing a new listing, generating fresh leads, or closing their next deal. Your insights could make a meaningful difference.
We’ve created a new TRIBUS Chat called T.O.C.R.: Tricks of Closing Rockstars, where you can share your go-to strategies, favorite tips, or lessons learned along the way. A few words of advice from you might be just what someone else needs to break through.
We’re also excited to announce a special panel featuring five of our Top Producers, who will open up about their journeys in real estate—from why they chose this career, to the setbacks they’ve overcome, and the key moments that led to their success
Join us Thursday, June 26th at 12:00 PM in our corporate classroom for this inspiring event. Space is limited, so be sure to reserve your spot soon this is one you won’t want to miss.
Together, we rise. Thank you for being part of what makes Terrie O’Connor Realtors such an extraordinary place to work.
With gratitude and best wishes,
Sarah
Sarah M. Drennan President
