Shamelessly Be Your Authentic Self

“We Care” Is A Pretty Low Starting Position
I hear so many people saying that they “care” in their marketing language; “We care. We’re transparent.” Get me a bucket because I’m about to be sick!

It’s well documented that, within the Property Management industry, we’re in a race to the bottom – it’s painful and people are getting hurt. Both leaseholders and properties are being mis-managed because there’s this lean towards charging less which, ultimately and undeniably, will lead to poorer service levels across the board. Who’s fuelling the race?…

People are saying to do it, people are advocating it, but what’s weird is that the only people advocating it are leaseholders. You might say ‘of course – they’re the people that benefit most from Commonhold’. There’s also the argument that agents won’t…
Accelerate Growth In Your Golden Years
So I’m nearly 40… 39 to be exact. I feel like I’m in my golden years and so I want to share what a friend of mine shared with me about this stage of life to accelerate growth: “Look, when you’re between 25 and 50 or 25 and 45, these are like your golden years…
