📈 Market Move:

Listing Leaders and Texas Triumphs

The New Mexico MLS just dropped a bombshell—floor plans are now mandatory for all residential, rental, and multifamily listings. Yep, no more guessing if your couch fits in the living room. This move isn’t just about making life easier for buyers (who are all about those floor plans); it’s about leveling up the game for agents. NMMLS is setting a bold precedent, hoping other MLSs follow suit and make "visualize before you visit" the industry norm.

Meanwhile, in Texas, NTREIS (the state’s biggest MLS) just added Waco Realtors to its roster. What does that mean? More tools, bigger data, and a broader reach for agents in the Lone Star State. This partnership is all about making the pie bigger for everyone—agents get better exposure, clients get more seamless access, and NTREIS flexes its dominance even more.

Takeaway: NMMLS is playing innovator, NTREIS is playing consolidator, and agents everywhere are reaping the rewards. Let’s see who makes the next move.

📚 Book Recommendation:

"Great by Choice" by Jim Collins and Morten T. Hansen —Let’s talk about success. Not the flashy, get-rich-quick kind. I’m talking about the long-haul, consistent, survive-anything kind. That’s where "Great by Choice" comes in.

Jim Collins (yeah, the same guy who wrote Good to Great) teams up with Morten Hansen to answer a killer question: Why do some companies thrive in chaos while others crumble? Spoiler alert: It’s not luck or genius—it’s discipline, paranoia, and making bold moves at the right time.

They call it the 10X mindset—companies that outperform their peers by tenfold (hence the name). These 10Xers aren’t just hustlers; they’re strategic maniacs who prepare for everything, from economic booms to total market meltdowns. Think: innovation meets stability, sprinkled with a healthy dose of obsessive planning.

This book is like having a cheat code for real estate or any entrepreneurial journey. It shows you how to stay steady when the market’s going nuts, how to make decisions based on data (not vibes), and how to keep winning, even when everything feels unpredictable.

If you’re an agent or broker looking to build a business that lasts, this is your playbook. Greatness isn’t a fluke—it’s a choice. Make it.

Let’s call it a day! Stay confident, stay curious, and remember—the more you grow, the more you win. Let’s keep climbing!
