won’t produce a high-quality product.”

 “Outsource social media? Absolutely! As a broker, I constantly

remind agents to engage in activities that generate income. Although social media brings in sales, it takes consistency to

bring about results. Hiring someone to handle your social media frees up time to handle money-making tasks.”
