Maher Guest: Karla Roberdeau and Neal Smith Description: What's the biggest challenge top-producing agents are facing right now—and more importantly, how do you overcome it? Michael J. Maher breaks down the #1 obstacle that even the most successful agents encounter as they grow their business. The truth? What got you here won't get you there.
