NOVEMBER 2025 DWCS NEWSLETTER
Happy November ~
We are grateful for the opportunities presented to us by the Mortgage Bankers Association(MBA) and have just completed our 13th conference. Las Vegas was all we expected and more, and it was fun to see The Sphere turn into an animated pumpkin! Thank you to the MBA and Stewart Lender Services for making our participation possible. We hope you enjoyed it as much as our Team did!
What's next? A speedy end to 2025. You know how fast the calendar flips once we get into Fall. Don't let the year slip away and start 2026 with a less-than-perfect LinkedIn presence. Lots of changes to available options and the algorithm - contact us for best practices and training on the world's largest professional online network.
We, in the US, will celebrate Thanksgiving on November 27. There is more than a bit of challenge all around us at the moment, with travel delays, a historically long government shutdown, layoffs, and a pause in government aid to those who need it the most. Finding it difficult to be thankful this year? Here are a few ways that gratitude can help you.

LinkedIn Tips and More
TIP 1 - SOMETHING POSITIVE I'VE NOTICED - LinkedIn is a valuable resource with a vast number of members, enabling robust network building. That said, it is all too often that we see Posts drawing attention to something less-than-positive about the site. Here's something great that I've been tracking: More members are acting on Posts. How refreshing to see engagement being built - often with more than one participant talking about the same Comment. This is where the gold is, my friends, and all you need to do is add (literally) a couple of minutes to the time you spend on a post of interest to read through all the Comments. You can add value to the post and be noticed for it. At the very least, you will learn something about the engaged members and discover something new as well.
TIP 2 - VIDEO CAPTIONING - With the popularity of video consistently on the rise, be sure to use the CC > Edit Captions option available directly under your video post about one minute after uploading. Be inclusive, use those automated captions, and edit them for accuracy! (You can only edit ONCE) TIP: Practice makes perfect - keep your iPhone videos at 59 sec or less for easy uploading.
TIP 3 - IT'S THAT TIME OF YEAR FOR MEDICARE RENEWAL - If you're like me, Medicare can be very daunting. I take my Recommendations very seriously and want to share my contact, who has helped me through the maze of options several times: Arlene Smith. What I like best about her is the time she is willing to give to ensure a clear understanding of the many options available. She does her homework, and I like knowing that I'm getting the best coverage for my needs. Give her a call at 561-315-7882. You'll be happy! (Open enrollment ends on Dec. 7)
TIP 4 - ARE YOU A HOT SAUCE FAN? - Can you take the heat?! My new very favorite line of heat is Chakalaka, made right here in South Florida by an amazing couple from South Africa. I met Bengala Ngobene and his wife, Maria Camila, at a local networking event. Not only do they have incredibly delicious products, but they also have an incredible story. Check it out and try one of their sauces - I love the mild one, which I use on everything from chicken to scrambled eggs! Mild & Hot Sauces, Relishes, and more! Shipping in the US.
