I am excited to share that I have been working behind the scenes on growing SoldHamptons in a way that will benefit real estate proffesionals. My team and I will be creating original content and developing personalized strategies to enhance your personal brand. Stay tuned for more information!

So what is a personal brand anyway? As Jeff Bezos once said, “Your brand is what other people say about you when you’re not in the room”.

Before social media, personal branding was reserved for athletes, musicians, and Hollywood celebrities. The truth is that everyone reading this has some form of a personal brand that is shaped by the ways we present ourselves. 

There is an opportunity for all of us to present our best selves by highlighting our strengths and sharing our passions. Your future clients are looking to connect with someone they feel like they know and therefore can trust. Social media allows us all to make these meaningful connections.
