Networking is vital to building relationships with people and vendors. We are entering a “No Trust” era, where everything will be tested and questioned. Surround yourself with experts, partners, and other professionals that operate at the same level of integrity and commitment that you do!

Be an expert on one segment of the market to differentiate yourself from other people in the industry. Becoming an expert in the market means understanding everything about that particular market niche. How many total properties are there? Who owns the most buildings? What are the average prices per foot, prices per unit and cap rates? A true market expert will have these numbers right off the top of their head. Becoming the market expert and go-to person in a particular niche allows for a huge competitive advantage in getting assignments and implementing business.
