Nars Center For Realtor® Development

Welcome, friends, to the Center for REALTOR® Development podcast from the National  Association of REALTORS®. We are here in Part 2 with my guest, Dr. Jessica Lautz from NAR. Dr.  Lautz is the Deputy Chief Economist and Vice President of Research at the National Association  of REALTORS®.  We are releasing this interview in two episodes. This is Part 2.  Now, each one of these episodes stands alone, but we encourage you to start with Episode 1 or  even go back to it for some more context.  [1:10] Welcome back, my favorite data researcher! Thank you so much for being with me and with our  listeners. I love how you get to talk to everybody around the country and share all the good scoop and  help keep us informed.  [1:25] Dr. Lautz says it’s a highlight of her job. She loves having boots on the ground, seeing what’s  going on in local markets, what REALTORS® are feeling, and what the pulse is. Talking to people is  important.  [1:43] Monica recommends that listeners take the opportunity to go listen to Dr. Laut
