Hello and thanks for creating such a cool community.

I'm Stephanie.

A real estate agent down in rural Georgia. Jackson Lake actually.

I have to rocket-launch into this digital transformation and am looking to learn from the people who build the web.

I'm told that's y'all.

Anyways, Thanks for the inclusive approach. I look forward to developing with you all.

Hi Stephanie!
Funny that you should mention Real Estate. I was (tried to be) a Realtor about 18 years ago. But I couldn't sell my way out of a wet paper bag.
What I could do was learn HTML and CSS. I used that to put together and deploy a simple 3 pager web site. It was so awesome that the other new agents in the office wanted me to make one for them. I signed up for a reseller account with a web hosting company and started charging $200.00 for the site and 1 year of hosting (with domain name). It actually turned into a pretty good side income.

Thank You all for the amazing response and welcoming feeling! We have been seeking community for some time now, and think we may have just found out! I can't say how good it feels to find a place on this web of webs that makes you feel welcome and is so supportive.

You brought me and my team to tears this week with your kind words and the number of people that would check out our site was truly humbling.

We have so many ideas and integrations we hope to implement but struggle mightily with all the languages, integrations, and technologies. 'IT.man' as I call him, said he's about to camp out here and really hopes to start learning.

AGAIN, Thank you all so much. This makes everything worth all the work we put in.

Oh, by the way, we finished Startup School, but a technical glitch caused us to miss the last session of the Build Sprint we were running. Regardless, I was able to go from ZERO sales since quarantine to over a $1.5 million month our first month out here in this wide world of whatever this is. Clearing almost a $25,000 month; by far the best I'd had in my near two years in-industry. And because of the unexpected success (at such a first-rate), my newfound team (writer: Kim Tolar and soon-to-be agent; IT.man - well he calls himself a wannabe, but he's been a true god-send to us all: cbrennnanpoole and my Broker: Ben Dover Jr. ) have decided to pause on further marketing and take to journey mapping/building an organic, hopefully, community-centric journey/web-site over at UnderContract.dev. We welcome all feedback, contributors, insight, and criticisms.

AGAIN, THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH.

Thank You Much,

Step
