On today’s episode of RealTrending, we are joined by Christine Hansen, the broker-owner of Century 21 Hansen Realty, which has been serving the South Florida area for over 38 years. She is also the 2025 first vice president of the National Association of Realtors.

Today’s episode discussion focuses on what we can gain from not only our successes but also from our failures. Christine talks about the hardships and bankruptcy that she went through during the Great Recession, and what those experiences taught her about running her brokerage today. They also talk about the upcoming goals for NAR and its leadership team for the next year and the opportunities she sees for Realtors in this market

Here’s a glimpse of what you’ll learn:

• The goals of the 2025 leadership team are to keep NAR at the forefront of advocacy efforts.
• Realtors should showcase their value by communicating the challenges they overcome on behalf of buyers and sellers.
• Self-care, positive mindset, and gratitude are essential for overcoming challenges and living a fulfilling life.
• The future of real estate is in repurposing commercial spaces, and working towards affordability in home ownership.
