These are sort of the immutable principles but everything else starts over each time, and be humble when you hear what a community wants and needs and don't try to tell them what's best for them."Steve: Casago University Sets People Up For Success"I think you do people a disservice when you sit them down and hand them a job and don't set them up for success. In no elite unit was I ever part of in which there wasn't an indoctrination, training, and build out to what was expected from me and how to do my job with it."Steve: Franchising Builds Up Local Realtors With A Brand Name"If you look at the top 10 residential real estate companies in the world, they're all franchises, and there's a reason why; it's still a local business like we keep going back to those local realtors know their area, know their city, love their city. They're beholden and accountable to their areas but they needed tech and they needed distribution and they wanted a recognizable name."Connect with Steve:Steve Schwab | Casago | EmailConnect with Alex and Annie and get more real vacation rental goodness:Alex Husner | Annie HolcombeAlexAndAnniePodcast.comIf you enjoyed this episode of ALEX & ANNIE: The Real Women Of Vacation Rentals, make sure to visit our socials, leave us a like, a comment, or share our content with the crowd!
