Over the past few months, we've witnessed a significant rise in the costs associated with Google email services.

This change has led our own email service pricing to grow threefold.

It has always been our heartfelt desire to provide our dedicated agents with complimentary Village email addresses, recognizing that many of you seamlessly integrate these emails into your broader professional communication.

But, true to our core values of maintaining transparency and ensuring that our services are as inclusive as possible, we've come to a challenging decision. In order to not pass on this substantial increase to you, our treasured agents, we must bring to a close our offering of complimentary Village email addresses, starting September 15th.

Navigating change can sometimes feel a bit like climbing a hill. But remember, we're climbing it together, and we are here to support you at every step. To help you manage this transition:

Professional Email Backup Service: For those who'd rather leave the heavy lifting to someone else, we've teamed up with a reputable email backup firm. With a one-time investment of $125, they'll ensure all your vital communications find their way to your primary email, ensuring not a single memory gets left behind.

And for those who hold a special place for their Village email address and would love to keep it, it'll still be available at a monthly fee of $25. Just send an email to [email protected] before September 15th, if that's what you want to do. Great News is, however, you can create a non-village Gmail for free, and that can help make for an easier transfer of your documents.

I understand how daunting change can sometimes be. But, as always, we take these measures with an eye on the future, ensuring our Village remains vibrant, accessible, and sustainable. Your understanding, resilience, and unwavering support keep us motivated, and we are deeply thankful for your partnership.

Stay inspired, and let's keep lifting each other up.
