License number and state
Verifiable in regulator databases
3
Years active and markets served
Sustained local focus
4
Relevant background
Tied to what you write about
5
Links to LinkedIn and brokerage
Confirms you exist off-site

Not a stock image or avatar
MATCH THE SAME NAME AND PHOTO EVERYWHERE
Bio page
LinkedIn
Brokerage
