In a market as competitive as ours, the best realtor's are those that keep in touch and in tune with market trends and fluctuations, because without this knowledge, you can't honestly represent your client's. For over 15 years I've used my marketing, public relations, constituency relations and technical skills to promote the features and benefits of a major communications business.
Of course, this experience just reinforces what I have practiced throughout my career briefing and demonstrating new technology solutions to congress and regulators. "If you don't have the facts, there's no way you'll be credible enough to affect change, and make a difference, or be taken seriously." Couple these fine-tuned talents with the fact that I've been investing/buying/selling real estate for many years.
