Quotables
“I think in order to negotiate well, you have to be a good listener so you always wanna hear what the other side is saying and formulate your opinion.”
“There are no shortcuts. Due diligence is key to most deals – you wanna know as much as you can about any property or deal.”
“If a deal lingers on too long, it always seems to collapse so I think when you’re getting into a deal, you always wanna set realistic expectations and then you wanna stick to the timeline.”
