What do you like most about real estate?
Most certainly, it is the people with whom I get to work with and the art of the deal. I am incredibly grateful to work with people from all walks of life, many of whom become dear friends or business associates. Also, the negotiation process and structuring deals, and the autonomy I have when thinking creatively to get the deal done.
How do you differentiate yourself from the competition?
If you know me, you understand the difference I represent. I have a solutions-based approach and love to network and connect my clients and trusted circle with opportunities both within and outside of real estate. I honed my craft by learning from the best in the industry, while staying true to myself and reflecting on my past and present professional and personal experiences.
Market trends you anticipate in 2023?
While it’s important to consider your micro-market for a more accurate and detailed market analysis, I anticipate that inventory will generally remain low, due in part to many homeowners who have secured a significantly low mortgage interest rate. However, I predict that property valuations will remain steady because of the low inventory.
Most looking forward to in 2023?
New opportunities and collaborations, setting new records, and more travel!
