    #22: You Gotta Have Faith…in the real estate market

    Ever have doubts if you're ever going to find that home? You're not alone. What does your agent bring to the table to help keep you focused and calm? Let's take it a step further:  What if your agent was more than a cheerleader, but had a deep, abiding religious faith? How would that help? Today we meet with Elizabeth Gleason, a high-performing agent in the Dallas/Grapevine Texas markets at Rogers Healy Agency. We discuss how one kind of faith begets the kind of faith you need to be successful in your real estate. Want to share your real estate story?
