Working With REALTORS®-Builder Nuggets Podcast Featuring Kimberly Mackey

How do we turn the general adversarial relationship of builders and REALTORS® into a two-way street of collaboration and trust? In this episode hosted by Duane Johns, our guest Kimberly Mackey shares real-world solutions for just this. She has earned the reputation as being an expert in today’s competitive and rapidly changing sales environment. In addition, her broad experience working directly with both builders and REALTORS® brings a unique perspective on how all parts should work together to create the whole.
