What does a future in real estate look like? 🏡

We enjoyed being part of the BCCHS Career Exploration Fair and introducing local freshmen to the possibilities of a career in real estate. Helping students explore their interests and discover career paths they may not have considered is a great way to invest in our community’s future.

A big thank-you to BCCHS, Goodwill Industries of Central Michigan’s Heartland, and everyone who helped organize and make this event possible! We’re also grateful to all the volunteers who took the time to share their knowledge and connect with students.

We love seeing our community come together to help young people explore what’s possible for their future!

Our BCAAR team is all set up and ready for the Battle Creek Central High School Career Exploration Fair! 🏡

This fair gives freshmen a hands-on opportunity to explore different careers and learn more about their options before choosing a career pathway. We’re happy to be there to answer questions, share what a career in real estate can look like, and help students discover opportunities they may not have considered.

A big thank-you to Goodwill Industries of Central Michigan's Heartland for coordinating with us and helping make these career exploration opportunities possible, and to our volunteers Amanda Smith, Kelli Grenfell Stierle, and Anthony Wilson for taking the time to connect with students.

We love seeing our community come together to help young people explore their interests and think about their futures!

🏠 What could the future of home construction look like?

The National Association of REALTORS® takes us inside HUD’s Innovative Housing Showcase on the National Mall, where new approaches to building are tackling affordability, durability, sustainability, and housing needs.

From chassis-free manufactured homes and ancient compressed-earth building techniques to homes made with recycled plastic bottles and moisture-regulating paint, the innovations are pretty fascinating.

🎥 Take a look at what’s being built and where housing could be headed next.
