From Intern to Agent in Ocean City Real Estate

In this episode of the Running Real Estate Podcast, I sit down with one of our newest agents, Anthony Grasso, someone whose path into real estate is a little different than most. It’s not often you see someone jump straight into the industry right after college, but Anthony has been around our team for a while now. He actually started with us as a marketing intern, where he played a big role behind the scenes in our condominium tour series, one of the biggest projects we worked on during that time. He was also regularly sitting in on our team meetings, learning the market, and getting a real feel for how everything works day to day. Anthony brings a strong background in marketing and communications, with a focus on consumer behavior and customer satisfaction, which really shows in how he approaches real estate. He also has a deep familiarity with the area and the coastal lifestyle, which is a huge advantage when working with clients here. We talk about what it’s like getting started in real estate at a young age, what he’s learned so far being immersed in the business early on, and how his marketing mindset carries over into helping buyers and sellers!
