All we can say is WOW.  We asked you for good news and it’s pouring in. It’s more than we can get into two more weekly posts, so look for bi-weekly posts through the end of July. You are all working hard and it’s great to see that hard work paying off! Congratulations to everyone for their achievements. Today we are featuring some of the 12 x 12 members who signed with agents this year. (More agent signing news coming next week!)
