Welcome back to Off the Market Podcast, and in this episode, it is time to say so long, adios, au revoir, arrivederci, ma salama... and take our leave for the current season as Amirah awaits and prepares the arrival of her baby boy! 🐣We've been surprisingly busy to kick this summer off and we are incredibly grateful for that, but that also means we've had to prioritize the business over recording and podcast production. We do have a lot in the works for the following season with interviews, local business spotlights, and as always a plethora of real estate topics to discuss.That being said, we hope everyone enjoyed this season and thank you so much for tuning in! We will try to provide updates throughout the Summer when possible and relevant, but otherwise have an amazing Summer and can't wait to see you all again for next season. See you then!📺 Catch the full season or previous episodes at the playlist HERE: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLvmvam9Fvb433Fdhsyu8SANaz0KPdZyFn
