You were born with a personality type which has directed how you do everything from getting up in the morning, how you organize your closet, and how you played at recess as a kid. It is also responsible for how you prefer to conduct your real estate business. Are you capitalizing on your personality strengths? Have you identified your personality weaknesses and do you have a plan to overcome these? What about your clients’ personality types? How does your personality type interact with theirs and how can you make your communication even stronger?

She will share how the needs of buyers are changing, how to identify those changes, how to incorporate that knowledge into your project, and the amenities to add that target buyers will line up to buy.
