I moved to Spain from the Netherlands 25 years in the past to run a household enterprise in one of many native cities within the Costa Blanca area. By this enterprise, I met one of many largest builders within the space who provided me a gross sales place in 2001.
After eight years of promoting stunning new construct tasks, I joined a well-established brokerage within the space and centered extra on the resale market and I’ve been in the true property trade ever since.

What makes an excellent chief?
Being calm and never making rash selections. Listening within the room, observing, and taking issues in whereas evaluating the conditions earlier than interacting and advising. This strategy has at all times labored properly for me as I’ve led groups all through my profession.
