The friendly community of real estate professionals was dependable as ever in its response, offering Brad tips ranging from playful to earnest in nature — but all were taken to heart.

Although there were over 100 comments to Brad’s post that featured helpful advice, we’ve pulled out what we think are the top 25 key takeaways to remember in the new year, both tongue-in-cheek and more serious.
