Everyone knows plenty of real estate agents. But they are not all equally equipped or skilled.  This becomes even more of an issue in niche real estate.Not all skilled real estate agents are equipped for the many, and often surprising, aspects that make beach real estate a different market.Compared to primary residential real estate, the median buyer and seller are different.

More cash deals and more selective buyers.So, is a close friend the best agent to help someone buy or sell beach real estate?  Turns out, "It depends."Here are a few more of my thoughts on this... 10/08/2024

Reading Grant blog from back in 2014 makes sense to me, how about you How strong are your skills of persuasion?  Could you get people to take a ride on your bus?  Your success in getting people to get on your bus depends on the clarity of your message.

However, an outstanding or great leader does more. The outstanding leader does that plus inspires others to want to do the things that are necessary to achieve great outcomes. That leader has a compelling vision and transfers that inspiration to o... 10/08/2024
