Health

Sprouts!
Efficient preparation and satisfying food, with “something for everybody”, we should provide nutrition that is tasty and preferably not processed. I like to manage my cooking so that it fits an active lifestyle.
Fresh herbs and spices make a difference, when salt can’t.
It’s ok to love cake.
Enjoy your food, whether it’s nouvelle cuisine or farm table pot-au-feu. Make sure it’s fresh and avoid unethical products. Eat local and seasonal produce when you can.
We are familiar with how it should be, but let’s also find ways to make it happen!

Yoga and swimming complement my lifestyle. Movement is life. Build it into the day. Take time for relaxation afterwards.
Making friends in sports and leisure activities is fun and builds healthy communities.
Property
The above banner is a picture of New York which I took from my window during a stay there. I am fascinated by these buildings and how they symbolize grandness, initiative, entrepreneurship, ambition and communities.
New York is alive because it is a place of human connections. To succeed, a business needs to connect with people. Target your customers empathetically. Get to know them. You will need intelligence, psychological insight and experience in different environments.
The basis for commercial success is a good product and understanding the local need.
Communities thrive when lifestyles inspire. It is important to remember that we are social beings who create things together. We bounce ideas off each other and bring our ideas into the group.
I want to know your story, your company’s mission. As we share that we achieve real estate goals that match your vision.
If we build with honesty and awareness, we can be inclusive and diverse. Together we support the environment. In business we aim for sustainable practices. As individuals we respect eachother.
Did you know “community” is the new buzzword?
It’s about the people first. You and them, of course. Respect that thought and it will bring security and financial yield. Get to know your renters and stay up to date on events related to your property. Make sure everything is in order and plan strategically.
Who do you want to rent to? Choose a type of client. How can you best manage your building? It’s essential to stay in touch. Keep your renters up to date on maintenance and their contract.
