When we attended your seminar in Asheville in 2011, it truly changed our young property management business. Quickly we changed gears from thinking in a “realtor” mode to a true business mode with a business model. As Robert reiterated, property management is a nickel-dime business that can be profitable and rewarding if you create standards and infrastructure followed by commitment. We adapted changes and new policies almost immediately after your seminar and I am happy to report that it has truly changed our business and the way we view many issues we face weekly as a company. You served as a guidepost for us and we are most appreciative. We have often shared with others that the money we spent on Robert Locke’s seminar was the best educational dollars we have spent, hands down.
