In total, these efforts represented approximately $150 million in closed sales.

We continue to invest in resources that help our sellers prepare their homes for market and present them at the highest level. At the same time, we have strengthened our professional networks to ensure our relationships consistently provide an advantage in negotiations, whether representing buyers or sellers.
