If January Is THIS Busy… Spring Is Going To Be INSANE

Here in Northern CA Ive had 1 closing, a closing coming on the 23rd, and am submitting a 1,356,000 offer on a 28 acre propeety with 2 fixer homes on it.

Ricky, quick thought watching this — and I can’t ignore the rooster on your cap.

Biblically, the rooster is a symbol of awakening, vigilance, and truth before denial.
It crows when night ends and reality begins.

Outside the U.S., what many of us see is an industry still asleep:
no MLS, no shared data, no cooperation — just fragmentation, ego, and opacity.

My honest question is this:
👉 Do you think the lack of MLS in many countries is accidental…
or is it a system that benefits from agents staying divided and unaware?

As believers, we talk about stewardship, truth, and serving people well.
But a market without transparency and cooperation ends up hurting clients and agents alike — and that doesn’t honor Christ.

Would love to hear your perspective on what truly keeps agents divided outside the U.S., and whether cultural awakening is the first step before structure.

Sometimes the rooster doesn’t announce success —
it announces the moment to wake up.
