Bright, P. Blaise
"Today's customers are sophisticated. They can tell if you're interested in them and their needs," Blaise said. "Buying is a highly emotional decision. A lot of salepeople spend too much time talking, and not enough time listening."
Blaise was born in Lakewood, Ohio and raised in East Lansing, Michigan. He attended the University of Florida on a Navy ROTC scholarship, graduating in 1988 with a Bachelor of Arts degree. In 1991, he earned a Master of Science degree from UF, his studies funded by a National Science Foundation grant. Selling real estate and new home construction may be in Blaise's genes. His grandfather founded a real estate and construction company in Cleveland, Ohio in 1910."He was born and bred to sell new homes," John Cannon said. "He knows construction, empathizes with clients and hears what's important to them. He loves working with custom products."
Blaise has been married to wife Liz for 17 years. They have two daughters Sally and Emma, and one son, Paul. They are active in Sts. Peter and Paul Parish and St. Joseph Catholic School.
