In addition to a bunch of business updates, this episode features a short discussion with Upmarket Media's #1 individual client, Liz Donnelly (@lizzeedonnelly) of REMAX Gold Coast who was a surprise last-minute drop-in guest! Reed, Mark and Chelsea have a lively chat with her and try to get to the bottom on how Real Estate Media professionals can try to land (and keep) top REALTORS in their area. Then, Liz goes off to sell more real estate and the OG trio talk social media and update listeners on Upmarket Media's slow season projects. This is the last episode before Mark takes off for a few weeks to visit family in Australia, a trip that would have been almost impossible for him to do without a strong team in place at home to run the business while he's gone.

But before he leaves, he does of course drop one final Action Item! Something that any listener can do right now help lay the foundation for scaling their Real Estate Media Business.
