Are we in a housing affordability crisis? Join us for a conversation about the current state of affordability, its impact on millennials & Gen Z, and the path forward for a generation of would-be home buyers. Dylan, Travis, Angela and Abbie discuss what makes this a crisis, why so many millennials don't believe in the dream of homeownership, how to understand and be empathetic toward them, and how to help shift that thinking.

We also discuss the practical steps would-be buyers can take to become homeowners and how real estate agents can understand this and communicate to an entire generation who shouldn't miss out on the wealth-building and opportunity that real estate creates.

• Dylan de Bruin (Broker/Owner/Gen X)
• Travis Bushaw (Director of Sales/elder Millennial)
• Angela Fisher (Director of Development/Gen X)
• Abbie Dorwart (Director of Marketing/Millennial)

Integrity is the integration between what you say you do and what you actually do. This is what 'walk the talk' is about. We strive to follow through on everything we say we'll do - and hold ourselves accountable when we don't. Join Dylan and Teske Vance, New Agent Success Manager, as they discuss walking the talk, where it shows up in the Front Stage and Back Stage, and holding ourselves and each other accountable to doing what we say.
