Top Takeaways: John Barkett's Advice for New Agents “I would say our motto is turning transactions into relationships. I would say live it, but I would also say you need to be an influencer. It's not just the process; it's not just getting to the closing table. You are creating long-lasting relationships, and you need to look at it as these are relationships you are going to have forever. Also, you need to be part of your community and a part of the solution. We live in a community that wants your input, and your input makes a change, and you can see it.” “Appraisers don't mind getting data. Honestly, we are data fanatics the more, the merrier.” – John Barkett [15:47] “If you're not a part of the process, you're never going to get there. Knowledge is power. Knowing what's happening when and where is going to make you a better agent and finding the right location for your buyer and to market your seller's homes more productively. It's something to live by.” – John Barkett [39:44] Episode Highlights: [00:28] Intro [00:44] Meet John Barkett – Member Appraisal Institute [01:48] Growing up in Southern Massachusetts [05:27] Second Generation Real Estate Appraiser [07:30] New York City and Real Estate Valuation and Analysis [10:15] How John Landed in St. Petersburg [11:13] Starting Property Evaluation Specialists [11:48] Being Neutral as a Third-Party [15:36] Advice for Agent and Appraiser Interactions [17:20] Barkett Realty and Becoming a Full-Service Boutique [23:46] Up and Coming Developments for Residential and Commercial [38:31] John's Advice for New Agents [40:24] Connect with John [41:15] Closing Thoughts [41:27] Outro Episode Notes: Joining us today is John Barkett, Broker and Owner of Barkett Realty, a boutique real estate company that offers full services in commercial and residential markets.
