I’m constantly making myself available to have those conversations.” “If I’m negotiating a deal with a buyer, I’m going to be clear and concise in my message, and I’m going to be comfortable with silence so I don’t have to fill every pause in communication with words.” Links Website: Williams & Williams https://www.williamsauction.com Website: RCN Capital https://www.rcncapital.com/podcast Website: REI INK https://rei-ink.com/
