“How Local & Global Experienced Paved the Way to Success”
Q(David): What makes you so passionate about real estate?
A(Team Shepstones):We love seeing the potential in properties for our clients. Whether it is the chance to find a turn key dream home or a fixer upper for our clients to transform into their dream home. The investment portion also really drives us. We firmly believe in the value of income properties and own our own. We truly appreciate the beauty of home design, architecture, decor…everything. Cool design inspires us and drives us to create
Q(David): What do you attribute your success to?
A(Team Shepstones): It derives from the passion we have for real estate, but to truly be successful, we believe you must be educated and experienced. You have to know your market. Understand values, and know the comps. You have to know houses. It’s a huge benefit to know how houses are built and what it costs to build and renovate them.
Q(David): What helps you get inspired everyday?
A(Tim): Helping someone find their new home or investment opportunity. Hitting it out of the park for a listing, negotiating top dollar for them, helping them present their home as best it can be presented and finding hidden gems and hunting for potential listings.
A(Allison): Creating something new, beautiful and more functional. Actualizing a vision. For the Airbnb, I’m a born host and I love helping people to actualize their dream vacation and fall in love with our community, the way we have.
