Bob McCranie has had a front-row seat to every phase of this shift. "I've been a REALTOR at HomeSmart for years and a 23-year veteran real estate agent in Florida," Bob says. "I've never seen anything like this volume of corporate activity compressing into such a short window. It's changing the market faster than most buyers realize."
