Key Takeaways
- A specialty builds trust: owners hire the broker who knows their block and building type.
- Brooklyn neighborhoods move differently, so a generalist misses the details that set price.
- Specializing does not limit you. It gives you a base to grow from.
Mendy's Original Take
From the Mendy Realty archive, first published by Mendy Lipsker.
When people need auto repair, they go to an auto mechanic who can probably fix whatever is wrong with their car. A successful vehicle repair person will specialize in foreign, luxury, sports, and/or racing vehicles. You will get the best service from the mechanic who specializes in the problem you have or the type of vehicle that you own.
