🌟 Connecting Across the UK! 🌟 Our Fine & Country team has been actively engaging with our network throughout the UK, hosting valuable in-person sessions over the past few weeks. Jack Burton, Gaven Swan, and Steve Eakins, from Lumon, met with our South West and then our South East Licensees and Associates for a productive meeting. Sharing ideas, best practices, and strengthening connections through face-to-face collaboration. A note from Matthew Craker, "thank you guys for your time, energy, and expertise yesterday. It was a great day, and I really enjoyed it. Although most of us have been in the industry for years, continuous learning is key. Catching up with others, seeing what works, and learning is invaluable! Gaven’s new approach to appraisals was particularly exciting. The best advice I heard was to practice - simple yet crucial. Practice ensures confidence and effectiveness, setting us apart from others." Hayley O’Keefe was also joined in the North East by Elaine Penhaul from Fine & Country Property Staging and Steve Eakins (via Teams), focused on refreshing strategies.
