Bernadette Grandinetti is a real estate agent with Engel and Völkers, and has been in the industry for 3 years and has worked with some of the best agents in the business. In this episode, Bernadette shares that you don't need a college degree to be a successful real estate agent as you can be a craftsman, or even just have some vocational skills. Bernadette also discusses how it is important for new agents to be patient, and not rush into anything. Bernadette shares the importance of being hyperactive and reading a lot of self-help books. 

 

With a background in sales, Bernadette Grandinetti started her real estate career in 2019. Despite learning how to navigate in a tumultuous real estate market, she was able to reach close to $4 Million in Sales Volume her first year, while also breaking a local record with the highest-ever sales price for an Intracoastal-front home in St. Augustine and was also the highest sales price the market had seen at that time. Bernadette is outrageously aware that maintaining trust and integrity is just the first step in this rewarding career - these skills have proven true in her business, resulting in over $20 Million in Sales Volume in the past 12 months putting her at Diamond Level status with her broker, Engel & Völkers. Bernadette believes that although real estate is a rewarding career; it's not easy...but always worth it.
