I have a care factor and genuine and authentic desire to change people's lives” Jeanette Bates on the culture she has cultivated in her Realmark North Coastal office.
When speaking about working with the Realmark brand and business practices, Jeanette opened up about appreciation of the continual reviewing of marketing initiatives, as well as systems and processes. “The marketing, the innovation, the care that Realmark has for clients, the team, and each and every person within the business is outstanding” she went on to say.
