Not sustainably.Agents spend too much energy trying to predict what’s coming next —rates, inventory, buyer sentiment, seasonal shifts.But here’s the truth:The only market you can win in is the one you’re standing in.What worked last year may not work today.What might work six months from now is guesswork at best.You can’t build a business on forecasts and “maybes.”Top agents succeed because they focus on the present:• the buyers who are active now• the sellers who need solutions now• the strategies that work right now• the opportunities in front of them todayReal estate is not about calling the future.It’s about taking action in the present.No need to try and time the market.Start learning how to work WITH it.

If you’re standing on the sidelines, handcuffed due to paralysis of analysis or waiting for the “perfect” moment, this is a reminder that markets don’t wait.  

Continue to stand your ground and stand firm.

Hi @Jaycee Greene,i'm interested in the area around the intersection of S Phillips and E 79th St., and it's a 5+ million market.

In Feb I purchased two stand alone duplexes - one in good shape and occupied, the other in need of extensive rehab ($150k or so).

Not many carriers will write just a stand alone umbrella.

Anyone in southern Florida that could offer advice - def not looking for some program etc. would it make sense to try and partner with someone so someone else could help with identifying properties and both kindof would profit monetarily as well as stand at risk? 

A sauna + steam shower is a great way to stand out without a hot tub, guests love spa-style upgrades, and they boost photos.For the adventure cabin vibe, add practical “experience” touches: a gear wall or mudroom area, boot warmers, trail maps, a small repair station, or a cozy reading nook.

The ones that do well are the ones that stand out — themed homes, heated pools, game rooms, great photography, and top-tier management.

While agree with most of these, We have found that adding an inexpensive accent wall is a great way to make the space stand out.
