3 Key Points

  1. Mastermind groups are everywhere, but finding the right one for you takes a bit of trial and error.
  2. Realtors and agents are also entrepreneurs and they should treat every listing as their own business.
  3. It is important for realtors to help and learn from one another—it is not only nurturing for them and their career but also healthy for the industry.

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
