Guess what we're talking about today, marketing and marketing and marketing. But we're gonna be talking about a specific kind of marketing and why you need to be creating it. Everything you do today is content. The posts you make when you're taking up the ugly carpeting in the basement is content. The picture of you and your clients at the closing is content, that big ass kitchen with beautiful views, that is content, anything you publish is content, and you have to be creating it going forward.

Gary has deep ties to the local real estate community. Since 1995 Gary has performed real estate closings, taught real estate agents, and advocated for all South Carolinians in changing South Carolina real estate law.
