“The first step towards getting somewhere is to decide you’re not going to stay where you are.” – J.P. Morgan
We’re all a little guilty of complacency since change typically requires effort and struggle. In the midst of the day to day, it’s all to easy to lose sight of our goals and what may be hindering them. At Douglas Realty, we try to be a little better by the end of each day and always striving for perfection.
Our property owners and tenants are dear to us, and it’s imperative they are getting the best service and communication possible with the utmost professionalism. As it became clear this was starting to not be the case, a change was made.
