Steele makes use of a diplomatic approach to successfully close transactions, working with investors, buyers and sellers to create “win-win” situations, whether it’s restoring dilapidated properties, reselling homes or persuading people to invest in developments.
“Every transaction has at least 25 issues that can bring it to a halt at any time,” Steele said. “Completing real estate transactions in today’s market requires finding joy and excitement in resolving problems to the very end.”
