As a Southwest Florida business professional, your business likely ebbs and flows with the local real estate market. When demand is freely flowing, business flourishes and you can concentrate your focus on accomplishing what is in front of you. However, when it ebbs, businesses often need to consider whether their current trajectory is optimal, or whether they should pivot in order to foster some new opportunities in a slightly different corner of the market.

While we all know the market is generally unpredictable, on February 22, Market Watch 2017 will have three local, well-respected real estate experts discussing the state of the Southwest Florida real estate market. Hearing what they have to say could be the key to putting you ahead of the curve in 2017.

In addition to Randy Thibault presenting, Denny Grimes will touch on whether now is the time to buy or the time to sell? In spite of generally positive news reporting many real estate markets across the country are experiencing a slow down or “shift” as it’s called and its effects are being felt in SW Florida. Denny will report why 2016 was an “off year” and will give his predictions for 2017.

Stan Stouder will talk about changes in the commercial real estate market, such as:

• What are some national trends and how will they impact our local market?
• Is the local apartment market overbuilt?
• What do the changes in permitting mean?
• What Was, What is and What’s Next for Commercial real estate in SWFL.

Having big data is of little value, but knowing what the data means is invaluable.  Stan knows and will be freely sharing that insight at this year Market Watch.

As a sponsor for the event, Henderson Franklin is anxious to hear what these three experts have to say and wants to make sure all Southwest Florida professionals, home buyers and sellers, and investors aware of this exciting opportunity! To register, click here.
