He's been active in the Real Estate industry since 1986. | How long have you been a contributor? I’m proud to be one of the newer contributors for Inman News as of April 2015 What made you want to contribute? I am so passionate about Inman News and the people connected to Inman. I just simply wanted to give back by contributing something of value. What has been your favorite article to write so far? 50 Shades of Real Estate Video Marketing http://www.inman.com/2015/04/24/50-shades-of-real-estate-video-marketing/ What has been your favorite piece of feedback so far? I was very surprised not by the tone of the comments but the number of comments received on my favorite article. What do you do in your spare time? Spare Time??? UMMM! Not too much of that, but when I do have a few minutes, I’m a long distance bike rider who loves to participate in Century Rides along California’s Central Coast. I also love road trips with my wife. What is your passion? My Family. I know that’s too easy of an answer, but my family means the world to me. What advice would you give to other aspiring real estate professionals? It’s never about the commission. Never put your needs before your clients. Always be transparent, and remember that what you know, your client should know. What advice would you give to new contributors? It’s okay to take a break. Unless of course you write for a living. I’m a Real Estate Broker/Owner and I focus on my business first. Don’t be in such a rush to submit article after article. Thanks Steve. |
