🔅Happy Friday! 🔅

As we look ahead, June is in our sights — and so is mid-year. I’ll soon be diving into mid-year themes with my offices and in the broader industry conversations I get to share with many of you.

For today, I’m sharing a series of four short video clips from an interview Mike DelPrete did during a recent visit to Sweden. He was interviewed by the national real estate agent association about current global trends in the industry.

While I’ll always double down on real estate being local — and in many ways, hyper-local — I really enjoyed these four clips.

Each is about one minute long — quick, insightful, and worth the watch. Enjoy — and I’m curious to hear what insights you take away. 💡

And I’m already looking ahead to next Friday — Community Service Day 2025 — our day to stand shoulder to shoulder across the network in collective generosity. One of my favorite days of the year.

The forecast is looking good for the PNW — enjoy it, be well, and I look forward to hearing your insights on the content above! 💡

Stay curious, my friends.
