Real Estate REality Check | Real Estate & Business Career Success Education and Training


Apr 11, 2019

Introduction:

Today we are fortunate to have with us the multi-talented Beth Azor, the founder and owner of Azor Advisory Services, a leading commercial real estate advisory and investment firm based in Southeast Florida. Quite simply, Beth is someone who continually pays it forward for those entering and in the real estate industry. In addition to being a successful real estate owner and broker in Florida and beyond, Beth - known as “The Canvassing Queen” - is a person who takes the great poet W. B. Yeats’ line “Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire” to heart when it comes to passing along her many coaching mantras, which have played a part for so many students and professionals in real estate in reaching their full potential.
