Following our get to know your hosts episode we thought it would be interesting to find out a little more about each other so we each devised 3 secret questions to ask the other. The questions asked... Adams questions to Tom: How do you maintain your network of contacts? Do you have a 2 year, 5 year and 10 year plan specific to property? Can you give us advice on marketing?                   Toms questions to Adam: What advice would you give yourself on your first day of work knowing what you know now?
