At TSR, we believe the key to our success lies in our team. Our record-breaking 2024 started with a February team retreat, where our agents shared their visions and insights into how we could best support their goals. We gathered at a scenic retreat space, away from the daily hustle, to map out our growth strategy. Each agent reflected on their strengths and areas for improvement, setting individual goals that aligned with TSR’s mission of excellence. From in-depth market analysis sessions to role-playing client scenarios, we ensured that every team member left the retreat more empowered and motivated.

This collaborative spirit translated into exceptional results for our clients, achieving a remarkable $86.5 million in sales. As the year progressed, our team consistently met and exceeded client expectations. Sarah Grattan and Lindsay Corgan played a crucial role in guiding first-time homebuyers, making their dreams of homeownership a reality. Teresa Armstrong’s expertise in luxury and high-value properties helped sellers maximize their returns. Meanwhile, Gerald and Asher worked behind the scenes, ensuring transactions moved smoothly with their keen attention to detail and contract expertise.

We also invested in professional development throughout the year, hosting monthly strategy meetings, market deep dives, and training sessions with top industry experts. Our emphasis on growth and collaboration ensured that TSR remained ahead of the curve in the ever-changing real estate landscape. By the end of 2024, not only had we achieved record-breaking sales, but we also strengthened our relationships within the community, making a lasting impact on Shelbyville’s real estate market.
