I'm looking for a skilled sales rep who can help me connect with landlords in Florida (especially the Palm Bay area) and Georgia.If you're interested in collaborating, I'd love to chat more about how we can work together and what your experience is in real estate sales and landlord outreach.Let's connect soon!

Looking forward to connecting with the BP community and learning from your experiences!
