Hi Sean,
I completely agree. Finding your niche or finding an area to specialise in is important. Especially online as you need to narrow your focus. You can’t be all things to all people.
I think you should focus on your strengths and work out what makes you happy and then do it.
By doing what you enjoy you are bound to succeed. Some great points here Sean and I think you need to approach the real estate market with a predetermined goal in mind and a clear plan.
Just so you know there is a small typo in the first sentance.
