THE INSIGHTS
Where did you grow up?

Low inventory and high demand.
What is the single best piece of advice you have for sellers?
The price has to be right.

Be ready when making an offer. Have proof of funds or be pre-approved for financing.
What’s the best thing a realtor can invest in for their brand (a bus bench ad, a solid Instagram strategy, etc.)?
A solid database, repeat advertising, and utilizing social media.
Who do you look up to in the industry and why?
I look up to every successful broker.
