The Tom Toole Sales Group PodcastThe 2021 Real Estate Market was a Total Outlier - Tom's Take 293You've seen the headlines. 👀
There is no question the media is putting out a story about housing. 📺
That is just not an accurate picture. ❌
I want to give Mike DelPrete a ton of credit for summing it up like this...

there's no burst coming. 💥
There's no decline in sales that are imminent...
