Our guest today is a very resourceful and accomplished individual who strives to help and teach others. Joining us is Missy Bentley, a realtor with EXP Realty in Evansville, Indiana. Missy is an avid sports fan, places a strong emphasis on relationships, and has a deep love for Twitter. Missy has over 16 years of experience in sales, marketing, and media, which she uses to her advantage to help better her community. 

In this episode, join Missy and me to find out why relationships are the key to success and how Missy believes we all can learn something beneficial from one another. We also discuss the benefits of using Twitter to grow in knowledge and connections and what has worked and not worked in the world of the 2020 real estate industry. 

Top Takeaways: 

• Missy Bentley's Advice for New Agents 
• "I would say don't be afraid to laugh at yourself. I feel like so many in the real estate industry take everything so seriously and it's a serious business but at the same time, you have got to have fun!"

"I've always had the heart of a teacher since I was a little kid and now, I'm finally in a position where I'm finally able to work with agents who might need a little help in social media. Having been a managing broker, I know the ends and outs of a brokerage. It's really nice to take the younger, or newer, agents under my wing and showing them how things should be done. Put the client first rather than themselves." – Missy Bentley [20:13]

"The one thing that I do like is I think the COVID world kind of forced everybody's hand. I think realtors have done a really good job of adapting to the industry changes. You and I are in the tech industry aside from real estate, so we knew the changes were coming. I feel like the COVID world kind of sped those changes up and overnight realtors had to change their business. I think for the most part, everybody has been really supportive of each other and really encouraging to try to move the industry forward which has been much needed for quite some time." – Missy Bentley [26:19]
