You Blamed DEI for Hurting Your Career. Now What?

I was lucky enough to be invited to speak on a very erudite panel at The Negotiator conference. We all seemed to be of the view that the RRB offers opportunities. For landlords and agents able to adapt and embrace the changes there will remain good opportunities in the PRS.
