John Woodley on Real Estate and the Economy | Investing Basics

Dear Alice | Interior Design

We have a special guest with us today by the name of John Woodley, who is a real estate expert here in the Wasatch Front area. He runs a company called Woodley Real Estate with his brother, specializing in the high end luxury market as well as class A office space. We felt like it would be a great idea to bring an expert on this show to discuss this market because this comes up in conversation for us socially and in business all the time. We talk about what this market is doing not just in Utah, but everywhere else and kind of where it’s going.

“We say make it look nice and classy, or in good taste, and then let whoever buys it put their own personal spin on it. You go spend a ton of money on something that you think’s just gonna knock their socks off, lights out, and they’re looking at it going ‘We’re gonna have to tear that out.’ You’re adding the cost to put in and they’re subtracting that out and adding in what they’re gonna have to put back in.” “They’re gonna have to repaint that cobalt wall.” 13:32
