09 Elegant Homes - SME Land & Development
This will likely be known as the ‘figure of speech’ episode, as three-time accredited Real Developer, John Neville of Elegant Homes, creatively shares how his planning background fuels their 25-year old family development business.
In this episode, Alex Harrington-Griffin and guest co-host Dean Brown of Aureum Finance, speak to John, mostly in popular phrases, about developers as ‘Jack of all Trades, Master of None’ and the need to avoid being a ‘busy fool’.
We also recognise the need to be highly targeted in your focus as a developer with a long-term strategy, and managing vendors' understanding of the planning system.
Alex also unashamedly learns about the phrase ‘horse trade’, as we acknowledge that every day is always school day, if you are open to it!
