Laz Perez runs a South Florida real estate business focused on wholesaling, completing 160 deals last year. He notes that the Florida market is currently "pretty cold" or softer. To navigate this, Laz emphasizes dynamic pricing based on market conditions and a strong disposition process with a focus on building a buyer pool. Despite the cooling market, Laz believes absolutely there is still opportunity by understanding local areas and adapting strategies.

Here are three impressive things about Laz Perez:

• Laz shifted his business strategy from buying properties at auctions to directly reaching out to sellers. This shows he can adapt his approach as the market changes.
• After trying to flip houses himself, Laz realized his skills were better suited for marketing and sales. So he stopped flipping
• Laz finds a lot of satisfaction in seeing his team members succeed in their personal lives, like getting married and buying homes. This highlights his focus on people and team building.
