<\/p>\n \u201cThe Ascend Program has been critical to our growth in many ways. It gave me clarity on the best direction to guide the company and helped me redefine the best ways to be a leader and not just a manager. The financial metrics and trainings were eye opening and helped us improve our overall numbers and decide where to focus. Seeing clearer where we were as a company gave us greater vision about where we needed to go and the best ways to get there. The instructors, trainers, and expert panels were amazing. The best part of the program was the network and friendships I built across the country with various other leaders who are now just a phone call or text message away. Overall, I was blown away as it felt like a year-long MBA on how best to run a real estate brokerage.\u201d – \u00a0Aaron Drussel, Broker\/Owner of Better Homes and Gardens Influence Partners<\/p>\n “Ascend provides a real estate education and network that cannot be replicated.
