It’s been a blast and highly profitable to my wallet and career!” – Brittany Bailey, APB, Ryan Homes
“The year our company, The Haro Group of Keller Williams, joined the SMC, we closed 2 new construction deals. Last year we did 22. Our return on that investment has been astounding. We’ve had a bunch of fun, made new friends, and have learned more about the new construction process and the players in it. We LOVE it!” – Haro Setian, The Haro Group of Keller Williams Historic District
