“I love the variety of work we accomplish at SouthGate. In the same day, I could meet with our team to discuss strategies to develop 250 acres of farm and timberland, then update our website, show a commercial space to a new entrepreneur, then pick out cabinets and a backsplash for a new home before touring one of our residential rental properties to decide whether we should remodel now or later. It’s always exciting to see every phase of real estate.”
