Hopefully you’ve seen the CCIM Q&A column in past issues – we select one CCIM to interview about a specific business strategy, project, or other interesting topic and run a question/answer style interview with a photo and quote.

Objectively, his CCIM designation and MSRE degree well-qualify him to understand the business, regulatory, and legal issues concerning real estate development and transactions. Beau has the strongest “second nature” marketing sense I have yet observed. He is a master of business communications and thoughtful networking, and I learn from him about these matters every day. Beau is quickly becoming the “dean” of the local commercial real estate community, and with the passage of time I fully expect his reputation will expand throughout the region and the entire state of Florida.”

When it comes to the City of Gainesville, Beau is master of his domain. You will not find an individual with more market knowledge about Gainesville than Beau Beery. For any sales, leasing, or asset management needs in the Gainesville area I highly recommend Beau.”
Craig Wilburn

“Beau has proven himself to be one of the most hardworking, creative, committed and knowledgeable professionals I have ever met in this industry.

“I just wanted to say hello and tell you how much I was impressed with the way you presented yourself and carried yourself. It was confident and reassuring. I actually quoted your saying as one of my favorite quotes on facebook.
“Real estate is such a game of persistence and tenacity. Everyone is selling, buying, moving, or leasing at some point in their life and your goal is to be there in front of them at that time and that can’t happen unless you are persistent.”
Some of us were paying attention. Your quote has become somewhat of a ‘butterfly effect.’ It helped me understand the world of real estate and to never give up. I like to read it when times are not so great. Currently, I have a full time job. Not as exciting as yours, but I would like to stay in contact with such a professional as yourself.”
Anne Metz
