Clarence Brantley is a veteran real estate developer with more than
thirty-five years of experience. He has developed countless commercial
and residential real estate properties during the course of his career,
and is still active in the field.
As he knows, developing real
estate is a challenging business endeavor. It requires a large financial
investment, as well as a thorough understanding of zoning laws and
project management. Good interpersonal skills are also a must, because
developing real estate projects also means negotiating with local
authorities, business owners and the representatives of local residents.
It also means working with the contractors who do the actual designs,
construction work and landscaping.
When it comes to a commercial
real estate development project, the most common types of projects are
office buildings or business parks, industrial and warehouse real
estate, and shopping centers. Before jumping into any new project, the
real estate developer does a lot of planning. Even though a project’s
plans are often revised as the project progresses, a good plan from the
start helps it to be successful. It’s important to know when and how to
make those adjustments to the plan as it progresses.
Real estate
development projects can go on for many months. As Clarence Brantley
knows, it is best to keep the timeframe as short as possible, so that
the property can be sold quickly.
