Construction Costs
March 24th, 2008
I spent the weekend walking through some pretty distressed properties, with a client that wanted to build an apartment building on the site. One place was so bad, we were walking arm linked on the second floor encase one of use fell through. I was getting hammered by my client by him wanting numbers of what it would take to build a building. Which of course we wanted those numbers in that moment. I am not a GC, I know a bunch of them, but I am not one. But knowing my clients mind set, I prepared by have a CG show up so there could be a rough idea of what it will take. This in turn got me a phone call this morning from that client thanking me for thinking ahead, and a compliment tell me in ten years of his transactions he has never that an agent give him that kind of anticipated response. Calling a GC is free, having them come out to walk a potential job free, gratitude form your client Priceless.
