Angela Burgess - Crazy Sh*t In Real Estate with Leigh Brown - Episode #135

Who doesn’t like giving (or receiving!) a good gift, right?
Angela Burgess, CEO of the Gaston Association of Realtors, got
creative with her gift-giving one Christmas, and the experience
left her with a greater appreciation for thoughtful, connecting
gifts. It’s easy to get stuck giving generic gifts that end up
getting tossed, forgotten or – dare I say it – re-gifted. But,
give a gift that connects to a memory or cherished moment with a
client, family member, or friend, and you’ve given something much
greater than just a one-time gift. Listen in to hear what Angela
did, and get inspired to get creative with your gift-giving, too.
