Value, Accountability are Keys to Success in Professional Consulting Practice WeinPlus Head Tells MArch Candidates
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. --- Value and accountability are the most important keys to a successful professional practice, according to Rachel Elias Wein, founder and principal of WeinPlus Real Estate Advisory Services in St. Petersburg.
Wein, who addressed students in the Masters in Architecture program at the University of Florida recently, said the economic downturn has increased demand for these metrics in all segments of professional consulting.
“Value and accountability are objective measures and successful professionals demonstrate and document those measures to their clients in ways the clients can grasp enthusiastically,” Wein said.
“Professional consultants typically view a project in ways managers don’t,” Wein told the group.
“There is always a temptation for consultants to perpetuate a problem — as the problem exists the consultant still has work to do and fees to bill. That perspective has negative consequences for the individual and the profession. Clients won’t want to hire you and colleagues won’t want to work with you,” Wein said.
“You’re not here to sell your services,” Wein said. “You’re here to help your clients succeed.”
Wein, whose professional credentials include Masters Degrees in both architecture and real estate, said successful consultants today can document the value of their contribution toward a project.
“When I do project planning, I aim to generate a return of 10 to 15 times my fees for the client. If that sort of return is not feasible — if I can’t generate 10 to 15 times the profits a client is paying for — we’ll stop,” she said.

Lake Harris Estate offered at Fraction of Original Cost
Stirling Sotheby’s International Realty named exclusive broker for the Lake County Property
ORLANDO, Fla. --- Stirling Sotheby’s International Realty recently announced that one of its most prestigious listings on Lake Harris – one of a nine-lake chain of lakes in Lake County – has been dramatically reduced to $1,195,000 for immediate sale.
Roger Soderstrom, founder and owner of Stirling Sotheby’s International Realty, said the lake front estate with its master crafted 6,226 square foot, four bedroom luxury home was originally built at a cost of well over $2,000,000.
“The national recession and the housing slowdown have generated hundreds of spectacular buys, but this one is one of the most attractive in the whole region,” Soderstrom said.
“The western exposure in the rear of the home affords spectacular sunsets and panoramic views from almost every room,” Soderstrom added.
“The lanai extends the entire length of the home, adding outdoor living space, a summer kitchen, large heated pool and spa with unobstructed views of the lake, and an enticing walkway to the private boathouse complete with two boat lifts and picnic areas,” he said.
The home features his and her studies, butler’s pantry with commercial icemaker and wine refrigerator, and a huge gourmet kitchen featuring Dacor appliances, built-in cooling drawers and a Subzero refrigerator.
The Lake Harris estate is listed by Stirling Sotheby’s International Luxury Home Specialists Deborah Breaux and Diana Smith with the firm’s Heathrow Sales Center 407-333-1900.
