Labor Day "Observation"

I was watching the TV show The Real Estate Pros over the weekend and had to laugh. On this episode, Richard Davis, the President of Trademark Properties, said something that gave me insight into his type. He was trying to pick out paint colors for a historic-type home his company is flipping in Georgetown, South Carolina.

I make my best decisions when the pressure is on. I know I have time now so I can't make the decision. So let's give it some time until we really need to get the job done and I'll decide then.

If I had to guess, I'd say Richard is a Perceiver(P). If you follow the series, it is very interesting how he imposes virtually impossible deadlines on every job he does because he knows that he'll do his personal best.



I don't know about you but I am a Judger(J) and just watching him makes me crazy (in a good way). On almost every other house flipping show you watch, it takes months to get houses flipped. Not Richard's team. He creates deadlines of 1 to 2 weeks all the time. I guess he knows what will work...and of course what will make him the most money fast.
