We at The Friend Team are delighted to highlight Justin Watt today. Justin joined the team a year ago, and what a year it was. Not only did Justin master the art of virtual selling and buying in 2020, he did so while growing his business by 260%! In a year where nothing was normal in real estate, Justin found ways to champion his clients and design creative solutions to overcome delays and hurdles. Justin has wowed us with his attention to detail and knowledge of the real es...tate industry. He takes a personal interest in each of his clients and seems to know everyone’s favorite sports team, preferred brand of beer, and what makes them laugh. As an integral part of our sales team, Justin represents both buyers and sellers. His personal experience with home design and remodeling makes him a great resource for clients, and his easy going personality and attention to detail show in Justin’s reviews where clients say things like couldn’t have done this without him and he actually cared. We can’t wait to see what Justin accomplishes in 2021! See more
