What led you to the point of starting or buying into a company?
As a serial business owner I had leased and purchased real estate before becoming licensed myself. I enjoyed the field so much that I decided to pursue the industry as more than just an investor. 

What has been the biggest challenge you've overcome as you've grown?
Establishing and maintaining relationships with our largest clients as things change and personnel at the organizations come-and-go. 

What's been the 'secret sauce' that has helped propel your growth?
Selectivity, creativity and diligence 

What have you done to keep your company culture strong as you grow?
Continuing to focus on doing what's in the best interest of our clients... not necessarily ourselves. 

What advice did you receive earlier in your career that has stuck with you as you lead your company?
Prospecting and follow up are the life blood of sales.  We must remember daily to keep at it. 

What advice would you have for those who are looking to lead a fast-growing company?
All we really have in life is our time.... use it wisely and selectively. 
​
What challenges or opportunities do you see on the horizon and how are you preparing for them?
Challenges - the inevitable correction in the real estate market. Opportunities - the inevitable correction in the real estate market.
