"We are thrilled about our new partnership with Katie. It's unlike any other being offered in our market," said Christine George, President of Marketing and Business Development at RE/MAX Leading Edge.

We recognized social media as a tool to help us bring value and engage our agents whenever, wherever, they work. Since 2016, Katie Lance has been an invaluable resource for RE/MAX Leading Edge. We've applied a very strategic approach to our social media and the results have been phenomenal. We wanted to provide that same opportunity to our agents."
