Real estate is both a product and a service business. Your product is the buildings you create. Your service is delivering investor returns. Being good at both is essential for real estate entrepreneurs.

Social media recommendations for local retailers, developed by @campnorthend’s social media manager, @raqilah: • Post 2-3x weekly (FREE). • Lean into short form videos – Instagram algo prefers 7-15 second snips. • Use TikTok! Post 10-20 second clips w/relevant hashtags. 1/12
