As Thanksgiving approaches, I find myself reflecting on 2024 with so much gratitude. This year has been a whirlwind, filled with exciting new beginnings, incredible growth, and the joy of building stronger connections with all of you—our clients, friends, and partners.
First, let me express my heartfelt thanks to our amazing team. This year brought new faces to Riley Jones Real Estate Media, and I couldn’t be more thrilled about the energy, creativity, and dedication they’ve brought to the table. To Ryan, Ellen, Liisa, and Tom: thank you for believing in our vision and working so hard to make it a reality.
Second, I want to give special thanks to my behind-the-scenes team, who make the magic happen every day.
Cleire, your work as our Social Media Guru is invaluable. Your creativity and steady presence keep us organized and connected, ensuring our social media remains engaging and true to who we are. You bring fresh ideas and a calm energy to every project, and we wouldn’t be the same without your contributions. You make our voice shine online, and I’m so grateful for everything you do.
Karthick, your editing skills turn our photos into art. You bring out the best in every shot, enhancing the story behind each property with your expert touch. Your attention to detail and professionalism elevate our work, and we’re so lucky to have you as part of the team.
Near or far, every one of you is essential to making this company what it is, and for that, I am profoundly thankful.
Of course, no team would be complete without our beloved “true” CEO, Riley Jones. With his puppy-dog eyes, sweet kisses, and unmatched dedication to naps and cuteness, Riley ensures the team stays balanced and smiling. Whether he’s supervising meetings with a wag of his tail or reminding us all to take a break, his presence is a constant source of joy. We are endlessly thankful for our Chief Executive of Snuggles and Snoozes.
This year, we’ve been fortunate to build and deepen partnerships with so many incredible people—realtors, property managers, developers, and others who share our passion for delivering exceptional service. These relationships are built on mutual trust, shared goals, and a commitment to excellence. Your collaboration inspires us and strengthens our ability to create lasting value for everyone we serve.
And, of course, to our wonderful clients: thank you. Whether you’re a realtor trusting us to showcase your latest listing, a homeowner preparing to sell, or a property manager partnering with us to highlight your vacation rentals, you are the heart of everything we do. Your trust and collaboration inspire us to keep pushing boundaries and perfecting our craft.
This Thanksgiving, I’m reminded of the small moments that make this job so special:
The “wow” texts when clients see their photos for the first time.
The team laughs after a long day of shoots when we’re brainstorming captions over pizza.
The quiet satisfaction of knowing we’re helping someone find their dream home or bring their vision to life.
As we gather around the table this Thanksgiving, I’ll be raising a toast to our incredible journey in 2024—and to the exciting possibilities 2025 holds. From the bottom of my heart (and the top of our drone footage), thank you for being a part of our story.
Wishing you a warm, joyful, and lighthearted Thanksgiving filled with family, friends, and maybe even a slice of pumpkin pie or two.
Gratefully,
Tanja Rieck
Owner, Riley Jones Real Estate Media
