Embracing the Unknown

"I only know that I know nothing." These words, attributed to Socrates, have echoed through the corridors of history, resonating with seekers of truth and wisdom across the ages. This though always makes me pause, reflect, and embrace the vast expanse of the unknown.

I Know Nothing. And That’s the Point.

The more time I spend in Miami real estate, the more I realize how much I don’t know. And I’m good with that.

Because most of the deals worth paying attention to don’t announce themselves. They’re buried under paperwork, politics, or someone’s PR spin. The listings don’t tell the full story. The price per square foot doesn’t explain the seller’s real motivation. The headline doesn't show you what’s about to go wrong with the structure.

What I’ve learned is: the value is in the digging. Knowing which rabbit holes are worth falling into. Asking questions no one else is asking. Paying attention to what’s not on the MLS and why.

I don’t pretend to have all the answers. That’s not the job.

The job is to keep pulling threads. To ask better questions. To protect my clients from the shiny, well-lit traps. And to find the deal that’s solid, even when it’s not dressed up.

So yes, I know I don’t know everything.

But I know enough to keep looking until I do.
