Fireside Chats: Clarity in a Changing Market
Unlocking Investor Opportunities: 1031 Exchanges & Passive Options Made Simple | April 21st | 11AM - 12PM
Most agents lose deals when clients don’t know what to do after they sell or are worried about taxes. This session shows you how to confidently handle those conversations, spot the right opportunities, and connect clients with solutions like 1031 exchanges and DSTs. You don’t need to be the expert - you just need to know how to open the door and win the deal.
Fireside Chats: Clarity in a Changing Market | April 24th | 2:30PM
Now that the noise has settled, let’s talk about what matters. The last few weeks have brought a lot of conversation into the industry. Different models, different opinions, different predictions about where this business is going. Instead of reacting quickly, we took a step back. We are hosting a live, open conversation with leaders who are actively building in today’s market.
Who You’ll Hear From: Brett Sikora - Founder & CEO, Align
Maureen Duffield - Chief of Staff, Align
Jeff Bonk - Director of Training & Agent Productivity, Align
Bill Pipes - Coach, Speaker, CEO of G3 Nation
Tristan Ahumada - Coach, Speaker, Founder of Lab Coat Agents
Mutzfest | April 26th
We’re excited to be back at the Hoboken Mutzfest this year as a sponsor, connecting with the community in a fun, high-energy setting! This annual festival celebrates all things “mutz,” with local Italian delis, live music, food contests, and a full day built around great food and even better people. Be sure to stop by the Align table, say hello, and enjoy everything the festival has to offer with us. Additional details coming soon!
2026 Team Leader Summit | April 28th
At some point, selling more homes is no longer the goal. Building something that lasts is. Brett Sikora will be speaking alongside top leaders on what it actually takes to scale, from Profit First and EOS to AI, leadership, and building a real company. If you’re serious about growth, this is a room you’ll definitely want to be in.
Red Bank Office Opening + Q2 State of the Company
We’re officially hosting the Red Bank office grand opening in early May and bringing the entire community together. Part housewarming, part company update. Join us in person or virtually as we share where we are, where we’re going, and what we’re building next.
LIGHTS. CAMERA. ACTION!
Bloomfield Content & Headshot Day – Moved to May 5th
If you’ve been meaning to refresh your headshot or get new video content for social, this is your sign. Each session is quick (30 minutes), and we'll coach you through prompts so you walk away with content ready to post!
We'll bring the camera, lighting, and creative direction, you bring your energy and ideas. We'll see you on set!
OUR NEW WEBSITE NEEDS YOU
We're building something big!
Our new website is coming together, and every agent needs to be represented. That means we need your bio, your social profiles, and your Zillow link - all in one place, all in one quick form. It takes less than 5 minutes, and it makes a huge difference in how you show up online as part of the Align brand.
We need everyone to complete this by end of next week. The sooner you submit, the sooner your profile is ready to go live.
