Broker Anna Granger flags watching for authority-to-convey questions, deed restrictions, easements and boundary issues — and notes these projects can shift the highest-and-best-use signal for nearby land. 📰 Full story: inman.com/2026/07/17/yig… How would a faith-based housing development change the conversation with buyers in that neighborhood? #Inman #RealEstate #Housing #HousingSupply #RealEstateNews

Bohn chatted with Robert Palmer CEO of lpt realty to unpack a concept worth every agent's attention: IDOS — the Individual Definition Of Success.
