In a world that can sometimes feel harsh and competitive, real estate agents have a unique opportunity to be beacons of good. From the trust we build with clients to the communities we serve, our actions have the power to make a real difference. This month, we celebrate the "Be the Good" spirit by recognizing amazing agents who are illuminating the path for others.
In this month's "Be the Good" spotlight, we shine a light on Kim Carr Johnson, CEO and Founder of Exceedingly Me Technical Training, highlighting her dedication to empowering underserved communities and fostering job readiness skills through technology.
Since 2017, Exceedingly Me has been bridging the digital divide by providing accessible tech training for children, teens, adults, seniors, and veterans. This aligns perfectly with our "Be the Good" spirit, recognizing those who illuminate the path for others.
Kim's passion goes beyond technical expertise. She understands the transformative power of technology in securing job opportunities and fostering independence. Her program tackles the crucial gap in job readiness skills faced by many underserved communities, equipping them with the confidence and knowledge to navigate the digital landscape in a professional setting.

Kim's story serves as an inspiration for all of us to think beyond individual transactions and embrace the "Be the Good" spirit. Her commitment to empowering others exemplifies the positive impact we can have, not just in real estate, but in our communities.
But being the good doesn't require grand gestures. Every kind word, every act of integrity, and every commitment to ethical practice ripples outward, creating a more positive and trustworthy industry. Here are some everyday ways you can embrace the "Be the Good" spirit:
