We make plans, and life laughs at us. Our path through life twists in ways we never expected, but if you can keep your focus on service and pursuing the skills and passions that help you show up as your best self, you can take every turn with confidence. Preston Sandlin has traveled a long way since the days when he set his sights on an Education major. Before long, an opportunity in home inspection came his way, and he found himself in an industry that he has both a skill and a passion for. Decades later, Preston owns Home Inspection Carolina and has achieved the highest training possible for a home inspector, along with an entire career’s worth of marketing knowledge and industry know-how. On this episode of the Charlotte Real Estate Buzz podcast, John and Preston dig into the argument for (and best practices in) before-the-sale pre-inspection, how to find the thing that makes you both memorable and exceptional, and intentionally building in time to recharge and celebrate the wins.
