Greetings,
What should someone apply to BOTH residential and commercial markets? Local expertise and experience. One should use it when becoming engaged in either market in our area.
There are factors that effect every deal, and every deal is different. I oversee a lot of transactions myself and from our associates, and I learn something from each one.
One can talk about it (media, associates, etc) as it is interesting. But getting a deal actually DONE and DONE WELL requires evaluation of a number of factors. Having long local experience and expertise in our area, I still take each property in a new unit of time. Price increases/decreases, construction quality, construction costs, repair costs, etc differ in our own unique marketplace. We are in a vibrant and growing area and the market changes regularly. All the while we continue to grow with 800+ new additions daily to the Florida population.
