The Importance of Relationships in Real Estate
Building and maintaining relationships is essential in the real estate industry, particularly in finding deals that are off-market or lightly marketed. Successful deals often arise from strong connections that foster trust and cooperation among industry professionals. This approach is exemplified by Dove Hill Capital Management’s innovative Deal Rewards Program, which incentivizes individuals to bring forth potential deals, encouraging broader participation in real estate transactions.
