Adam opens up about his journey, from joining his family’s real estate business to working in private equity and back again. He advises anyone looking to break into the field to network, learn the industry, and remember, “Nothing changes if nothing changes.” Technology is reshaping real estate, too, but Adam emphasizes the importance of relationships and local expertise in this people-driven business.
