From commercial pilot's license to selling cars for 20 years—sales to General Manager—then shifted to real estate in 2010. Now I handle condos and townhomes on the Treasure Coast: Vero Beach, Port St. Lucie, and more. I’ve sold hundreds here. Still love sauerkraut. Want to buy, sell, or talk trends?

Used to be the F&I guy decades ago - when I moved onto the desk I thought I was on permanent vacation. Not once in 5 yrs did I not close the store (except my off days ) - just me, the sales guy and the customer. Desk guy waved goodbye the moment the papers in the deal jacket were still moving

@texasrunnerDFW @financedystop After sending out applications to over 100 companies (well to over qualified with 30+ experience) I am convinced that the biggest stumbling block is the HR department. Virtually clueless about the real job requirements.

@drgurner Unfortunately they’ve also not very valued

[Michael Kanehl @MichaelKanehl]

@drgurner “Not always bad”??? Whoever said it was bad ? It’s the only logical thing - make a decision - move on

@ThinkAppraiser Over 90% of all sales in my area on homes over $2mil are cash - always has been

@realEstateTrent Devils advocate: A handwritten signature is a unique, personal imprint—a reflection of identity that feels authentic and human.

@FloridaHomeChic Living here since ‘89 / some spots I don’t recognize anymore -

There are definitely distinct tranches when it comes to wealth. But almost everyone has a myopic view on this, comparing it to their own experience. When I first met someone who bought. $27mill fourth vacation home, jsut in case he wanted to spent some time here, maybe - it was hard to comprehend - but, as explained to me - it’s the exact same thing as showing a guy living in the slums of New Delhi your new Tesla ($70k’ish) -

@JulieChangRE I’ll be happy if I never have to see another “open concept “ floorplan again 🙄 it’s lazy design and unlivable - the charm of a basketball court

@db_fink She’s just a copy cat - that style was made “famous” by someone else ( and way edgier) - it’s a fad that’ll pass. A couple of years ago it was the agent in a bathtub. Don’t blame her for trying to- but these things are short lived - and get old easily

[Michael Kanehl @MichaelKanehl]

I spent my whole life in the two industries that everyone loves to hate - car business and real estate. The same doom scenario was painted since the early 2000’s in the car business/ yet here we are 25’ish year later and it’s flourishing more than ever. What these people don’t understand is that neither of those buying decisions have anything to do with $$. Unless you’re changing deep rooted human behavior we’ve had for a couple of thousands years - none of these scenarios will come to fruition

But it seems like every generation has to try on the doomsday shirt

@melissasavenko @Derek2137 Yep - that’s why it happens - as I said 1 anecdotal world :)

[Michael Kanehl @MichaelKanehl]

@PeterOhser @theficouple 💯 compared to third world countries- it actually puts you into the top 0.3 to 0.05 % percentage top

[Michael Kanehl @MichaelKanehl]

@Derek2137 @melissasavenko Actually more often than you think - just my anecdotal world

[Michael Kanehl @MichaelKanehl]

It’s not just real estate - anytime someone puts together a thoughtful or so called “valuable post” showing an actually understanding of complex topics you turn off 90% of potential viewers. The dopamine hit seems to be the only thing that counts and that only gets triggered by extreme opinionated viewpoints. I used to blame the “algorithms “for it - until I realized they’re just a mirror. We get what we are 🙄

@coleruudjohnson Process

[Michael Kanehl @MichaelKanehl]

@rohindhar It’s always been meant that way - it’s a lifestyle choice not a spreadsheet ROI decision - though it seems people on X live in a left brain dominated world
