Your mid-year pick-me-up is here |
|
Getting through July is never easy. The energy of the new year feels like a distant memory, and the end-of-year push still seems far off. That’s why we’ve packed this edition with the kind of fuel that can help you reset, refocus, and recharge.
You’ll find practical ways to get inspired again, whether that’s signing up for fresh insights at a Lightstone Property Seminar near you, kicking off a quick training session to sharpen your skills, or exploring how AI can help you write even better. We’re also shining a light on how you and your real estate business can support and grow the next generation of practitioners.

We turned team effort into winter warmth on Mandela Day |
|
In the spirit of Ubuntu, the Prop Data team took action with heart (and a few fleecy layers). We partnered with the Lightstone Care Foundation for their annual winter blanket drive, raising funds internally to purchase 21 blankets. The foundation generously matched our contribution to deliver even more comfort to those who need it most across South Africa. |
