168. Andy Taylor Interview: How to See and Create Opportunities

Today I'm talking to Andy Taylor, Senior Vice President of Sales for Sotheby's International Realty Canada and one of the founding brokers and top producers of the Toronto office. Growing up in a family of successful builders and developers, his affinity for real estate began as a child. This gave him exposure and insight into the business early on. In our interview, it becomes clear that he has not only in-depth knowledge of real estate but a perspective on real estate that has led to his success. That success includes breaking sales price records on more than one occasion in his market.
